I bought it to quickly cook meat on weekdays when I'm in a hurry due to work, as well as Arabic dishes. The meat grilling is very fast (in 4 minutes I have a ready burger, chicken, or kebab) because the heat is distributed evenly. I have a thermometer to know when it's ready. I have made the dishes that I attach in the photos, as well as pork kebabs and chicken. The plates reach a good temperature and create grill marks.
Of course, the plates do not cook exactly the same uniformly. It also has a drip tray where the juices drain and collect. Only when there is enough liquid do they flow backward. Otherwise, they accumulate and the meat becomes steamed. That's why when needed (meat with a lot of liquid like chicken), I lift it on the front legs to have an incline for the liquids to flow backward. For these reasons, I give it two stars.
Cleaning is a breeze. With the soft side of the sponge, all the residues slide off easily.
I have had it for 1.5 to 2 months and I definitely use it twice a day. It hasn't had any damage yet, which I see has been mentioned several times and has worried me, to tell the truth. I will provide an update if anything happens.
UPDATE: May 2024. The top heating element gave up. What a shame. Because it was doing a good job. A replacement couldn't be found for some reason, so the toaster was replaced with one from another brand
