Got that little table patty grill this morning, and just tried it out.
It works nice. It took around 15 minutes to get the minced meat done and a mild crust on it. A lot of grease appears, like it is always the case wiht minced meat, it dripped into a small cup that the amazon pictures do not show, and can easily be emptied and cleaned separately. When opening the lid, you should have a paper towel ready to immediately do a quick swipe on the heating element in the lid, before the grease starts to drip down and into the hinge linking the lid with the base case. Once you know that, it is a very clean affair. The grill itself is best cleaned with just another papertowel as long as the plates are not hot anymore, but good warm, and the rease is still "liquid". Its Teflon, no need to have soap and water involved.
No drops of oil splashing around. Almost no smell. Very comfortable. Ideal for a single person household.
I made a single meatball (salt, pepper, nutmeg, onion), consisting of the two round slices placed on top of each other and mustard between them. Quick, clean, tasty, practical. It draws 800 W.
The forms have 10cm in diameter and are around 1.8 - 2 cm thick, depending on the pressure you imply on the lid. A separate patty form is not needed, just fill the minced meat into the grill directly and smooth it with your fingers.
I paid 16 coins. For that money the absence of a switch is excusable. It has two control lamps, one for "plug in wall-mount" (power on), one for heating up.
If you like "Bouletten" and Burger, recommended.
