Product Description
Cleaning your indoor grill has never been so easy since the creation of the IKON removable plate grill. The three non-stick plates (two ribbed, one flat) are dishwasher safe. They lock firmly into place and are removed with the touch of a button. The top plate can be adjusted to six pre-set heights. On the lower settings, this unique patented features reduces the weight pressing upon more delicate foods. The higher settings are ideal for making open melt sandwiches or re-heating. The adjustable tilt feature controls the angle of the grill. An 1,800 watt element allows this grill to heat up very quickly. Another feature is the variable heat control from 350 - 425 degrees so you can make panini's or sear meats. The brushed stainless steel exterior is easy to clean with a soft cloth.Features Include:The nonstick, removable plates are dishwasher safeThe ikon grill has 800-watts of heating power, 20% more than other indoor grillsThree plates are included, one ribbed and one flat

5 out of 5 stars How to become an instant chef sensation!   September 2, 2008
nopotato
i am a novice cook of the most backward variety, knowing only how to boil eggs with difficulty. recently forced into learning how to make food for my family including my kids, i bought this grill. I tell not a lie when i say that my chicken is as good or better than anything i have ever tasted, thanks to good sauce purchases, & good chicken of course. My kids love the food. I am even gaining in confidence & trying my own seasoned oil varieties. Burgers, french fries, sausages are also excellent. Steak a little trickier. I think the heat levels, a little higher (1800 v 1500) than the majority, & the larger size make a substantial difference. The tilt feature allows the oil, fat to drip down, enabling a cleaner wash. Further, it seems well built, stands on its side which is v space efficient, & the grill plates wash well in the dishwasher. Looks nice too.
Criticisms, which do no affect cooking, limited to inability to lay top flat to make double size, & the holes in the undifferentiated top & bottom grill plates, which allows staining of the top underlying metal (the bottom hole is for the drip try) - but its not noticeable.

I would buy a larger size were it to have removable plates & the higher power, which as yet they arent. Truly a wonderful grill.



1 out of 5 stars Fancy looking Junk!   August 27, 2008

I purchased the Breville Ikon grill about one month ago at Bed bath Beyond store. After using the grill for about three weeks the plate would sometimes fall off of the top half. This was horrible because it was extremely hot and very difficult and messy to put back on. Now the very disappointing part. Last night I plugged the grill in, after waiting for 15 min I found the grill to be ice cold. I was glad I kept the box and receipt and returned this piece of junk. I had a George Foreman grill before that and that also died. It is really a shame that mostly everything made now is a piece of junk, guess I have to go back to the old cast iron pan.

This grill is wonderful. I have used it 4 times a week since I got it. Saves getting the stove top dirty, and the removable plates are a snap to clean. I am single, and the size is good for one. I would not suggest it for more than 3 people.

I've used my grill at least 400 times in the past year, and it's never once even wavered, performing perfectly and powerfully every time, heating up to useability in 2-3 minutes. Zero complaints whatsoever.


4 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for...   July 12, 2008

This grill was just what I was looking for. Large enough for a family of four, removable plates for easy cleanup, high power for searing and lower settings for sandwiches etc, and tilt-able for fat drainage and flat to prevent cheese from running out of a sandwich. There is clearly a lot of thought put into the design including a place to store the chord, the design of the plug, and how the grease/fat drip pan is designed. The down side of being big enough for four is that it is bulky to store (the handle does not move so it makes a strange shape for a cabinet). I have cooked steaks, chicken, fish and the fat drainage and temperatures were perfect. We do grilled sandwiches frequently and they too work great. The only surprise/warning I would like to give is that the instructions state that it will "smoke" when first used and that this is normal. Well, they mean it. Chemically smell and smoke. Maybe burn it in outside the first time or at least have the windows open. After the first time it works great.
