Indoor Electric Grill EB-DLC10

after years of grilling a lot with gas and (temperamental) charcoal, this Zojirushi makes perfect direct heat grilling jobs so predictable and easy it takes chance utterly out of the equation. this is an addictively effective kitchen tool. hands down - you will cook the best looking steaks or burgers or whatever easily - the sear-marks will be *perfect*. once you get the timing right you will be able to predictably deliver on any degree ranging from medium-rare to charred-to-a-crisp. this thing gets seriously HOT and because of the heft in metal it stays that way when you drop stuff on it: it sears it right away and hence delivers on stuff that keeps moisture inside. if you are a fan of seared tuna or medium rare filet mignon, this "little" grill will do a better job than far more expensive grills - and as mentioned before, the meats will look *beautiful*, cookbook quality every time! remember the grilling rule: just flip it once. because you will most likely keep this grill inside (i keep it always on top of the kitchen range) your standards of keeping it pristinely clean will be higher than with your outdoor grill. the good news is it is easy to keep looking like it came out of the box with about the same amount of work it takes to keep your outdoor grill keep looking like it is not a total health hazard. especially now with the "OXO Good Grips Electric Grill and Panini Press Brush" it easy to get stuff off it right after grilling. but mind the fact that -if you were grilling at higher than medium- you will melt the brush unless you wait a little. this grill gets hot. if you have drippy stuff you will have to also quickly clean the drip tray. i haven't found it necessary to keep water in there, like other people report. but i prefer lean cuts, maybe that's why. i know some bbq aficionados will hate me for saying this - but this grill helps you deliver on predictable, awesome results *every* time. i have never bought a zojirushi appliance that didn't make me feel like, wow, these guys really know their stuff. if they bother to make it it is probably tops at its intended purpose. if i had to BBQ for over 8 people sure, this would be too small, but for 1-4 people this allows you to deliver on *perfection* for meats and vegetables. this is not a poor excuse for an outdoor grill - in many ways it is much *better*. i love the way my food looks , how it sears in moisture, and how user friendly it is. i would not cook a $90 wagyu filet mignon on any other grill ever again. that is how well this thing works. PS May 2015 - this thing is amazingly good. mine remains a mainstay in my kitchen. i see criticism about sauces burning in.... of course they do! cook any meat with high temperature with a gooey sauce and the sauce will burn! i just cook meat the old fashioned way: i bring them to semi room temp within an hour, salt and pepper them some, sometimes an extra rub. if i have marinated, i kinda rub it off so there's not too much stuff on it. on the grill it's the way to go. in that pure state, i never have to go over medium-high to get awesome and dark sear marks on my meats. it's what the great bbq chefs say. attached a picture of a filet mignon cooked in medium setting after 4 minutes and i flip it. check out the sear marks, as well as how clean the grill is.also - halibut... perfect. i think the *huge* strength of this grill is the accurate and total control it gives you over different temperatures for different goals. and the ease of cleaning depends on your right choices on the matter. mine looks like absolutely spanking new. even though i have cooked some sloppy, juicy things on it. as a rule, i prefer not to. it is easier to clean than a traditional outdoor grill even in that case... Update January 2016: Built to last, picture of the grill right now attached... if you take care of it and operate it to the (veru lenient) instructions, wow, this thing lasts and lasts full non stick... best grill ever!

Zojirushi EB-DLC10 Indoor Electric Grill Just received the Zo EB-DCL10 Indoor Electric Grill this morning so I had to give it a test and, of course, the test did not involve an expensive cut of meat - - a Costco’s 1/3# sirloin paddy is just fine. As the instructions state the new grill will smoke the first time used. The amount of smoke was minimal and disappeared once the grill reached temperature. There is a “new grill” odor and could be irritating for those sensitive to such. If you are sensitive to odors I’d suggest using outside the first time or two, for me it’s not a problem and I can leave windows/doors open as I usually do this time of year. I had expected the grill to heat quite fast so I did the prep work first such as getting the hamburger bun ready with mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, put a little BBQ sauce on the meat, sliced some cheese and got a bit of onion ready for grilling. Well, it took about 30 minutes to heat up to the 410° maximum. Now I know, unless there’s a lot of time consuming prep work plug this sucker in first. Once up to temperature I threw the paddy on the grill – 5 minutes on one side, flipped it over to finish it to my tastes, put the onion on the grill and before I knew it I was enjoying one delicious hamburger. (I’m getting hungry again just thinking about it.) Clean-up, a point of contention with some: I thought it was a “slam dunk”. As I have always done I sprayed a little olive oil on the grill before firing it up and as soon as I took the meat and onion off the grill and while it was still hot I wiped it down with a damp cloth, what few particles of meat left on the grill simply dropped into the tray. An hour or so later it’s now cooled completely and quite easy to wash with soapy water, rinse and dry. There’s a salmon steak, ready to be put in some marinade, I’m going to grill for dinner. We’ll see how that turns out. - - - It turned out great  I’m happy to say. Perhaps it was the homemade bread that set if off. Anyway, back to the smoking: Yes it did smoke while heating but let’s remember I sprayed a light coating of olive oil on the grill. So far as odor, I didn’t notice it this time. For cleaning I followed the same procedure as the first time so it was a simple no hassle cleanup job. The warm up time is the only problem; the owner’s manual says it should reach maximum temperature in about 6 minutes not the 30 minutes I’m experiencing so I’ve asked Amazon for an exchange. Once I get the replacement grill I’ll return the defective one. In the meantime I see no reason not to use it.

Having just moved to a condo, I was saddened outdoor grilling is not permitted. Some thing like fire codes and such. I read the reviews on this one along with many others. Originally, I looked for a "smokeless" grill, but kept coming back to this one. Well, I got it yesterday and grilled my first steak. IT WAS FANTASTIC. The unit heats up really fast and the grates sear very very well. While you will never get a charcoal taste, this comes pretty close. It took 8 minutes to get a rare steak with a well caramelized exterior. All I did was bring it to room temperature and liberally salt it before hitting the grill. As far as smoke goes, it was really minimal. I set it up on the stove under the vent and there was no inordinate amount of smoke. Cleanup was a breeze. I used aluminum foil over the drip pan and the grates were very easy to clean. I used a toothbrush to get in between the grates on both sides and they came out like new. I'm really happy with it and hope it holds up for many, many uses. ENJOY

I purchased this grill so we can have our own "korean bbq" at home. It arrived quickly and the instructions were easy to follow. I had no problems with operation of the unit and our food cooked well. Wiping the cooking surface off was a breeze. I lined the drip tray with foil so clean up was easy. Wiping the frame off wasn't too bad. We did have grease splatter so the grill handles and frame needed cleaning. The only real cleaning issue I had was cleaning the back of the grill surface. Drips through the holes resulted in some accumulation at the drip holes on the back. The coating on the back is not the same as the front so it was not a "wipe off" easy clean. It took a bit of scrubbing. Since the grill surface is also not able to be submerged in water, it made it a little challenging to clean. We do own other units with sealed heating elements that can be submerged. Adding this type of feature and making the back coating easy to wipe clean like the grill surface would be fantastic.

I waited a bit to write this review. I did my homework on buying it (kind of a nerd) and what sold me on it was the clean ability (it is non stick on both sides) most like a grill in that you could put kabobs on it and that a lot of people seemed to like that alMOST acted like a real grill Reality. It’s a little harder to clean than I thought but OXO has a brush made for electric grills. I highly recommend getting it It does indeed alMOST grill like an outdoor grill. It gets hotter than they say, up to 450 plus. I have put some liquid smoke in a spray bottle usually used for olive oil and it gives a great flavor I also got an aluminum pan to trap the heat and act like a lid. We just moved. Our kitchen used to be right outside our patio and I grilled once or twice a week. It’s on the other side of the house now with dog gates and stairs in between. This is good enough that I am using it exclusively

About 12 years ago I bought my first zojirushki appliance, the gourmet electric frying pan.. It was very innovative compare to electric fryer available at the time. It is very nonstick but still browns food easily and the lift out skillet can be cleaned with a wet paper tower, even if you burn it. The temperature dial was in degrees instead of words. Impressed I bought the "fuzzy logic" rice cooker which was also excellent but pricy for 10 years ago, about the same as it is today, $150. I learned zojirushki is a Japanese company and was making all it's products in Japan (at that time). So when I saw they made an indoor grill I gave it a try and am again impressed after several failed indoor grills which were either really a griddle with ridges or a grill that did not get hot enough to brown well. This grill is in between a griddle and a grill, having enough solid cooking area to allow the heat to build up by reflective heat from the shiny metal tray below although the main heat source is the electric power in the grill grate itself.With just enough open grill spaces so food is more grilled than fried. Again, I think their engineering talent and understanding of consumer needs makes them one of the very best small appliance makers. Until several years ago all their products were made in Japan but I notice recently some of the less expensive versions are made in China. Like the rice cookers, their most expensive induction models are made in Japan but the less expensive ones are made in China. I doubt it makes much difference since zojirushki engineered it and no doubt has quality control over the finished product. I know nothing about their customer service since I have never had a problem with any of the 5 appliances I have, some over 12 years old. Initially I was surprised the temperature control was low. medium and high instead of degrees but then realized with a grill it's always going to be on high when cooking and low when keeping food clean. No problems with cleaning any of their appliances. They are in the slightly higher price range but the quality and engineering is worth it. Whenever I need ( or just want) a new appliance I look for zojirushki first and tend to buy the more (if not most) expensive version. You do get what you pay for with this company.

I’ve owned a couple different indoor grills in the past. The Zojirushi Indoor Electric Grill left those others in the smoke, literally. Bought this specifically for Korean BBQ. Set it up in the middle of the dining table with traditional banchan (side dishes) to recreate a KBBQ restaurant experience. My family loved it. We grilled galbi (marinated beef) and spicy pork bulgogi. With other indoor grills, cooking these meats produced an enormous amount of smoke in the house. There had to be at least one person fanning smoke away while another grilled. Considering these past experiences, I was hesitant in purchasing this grill. However, was pleasantly surprised. It does not produce anywhere near the amount of smoke. No worries about setting off fire alarms! The temperature dial is very responsive and easy to maneuver. Following the manufacturer instructions made cleanup a breeze. Any charred food remaining easily came off. Other brands were difficult to clean—always running the risk of scratching the non-stick coating. Not this one! I’ve used it three times since receiving it last week. Each of these experiences has remained consistent. I highly recommend this indoor grill. It’s well worth the price point compared to others on the market.

First I tried one of the look alike griddle/grill combinations, but that did not work out. At that time I did not know about this product. This unit heats evenly if you follow directions about preheating. It requires very little effort to clean, and surprising it smokes very little if used properly. Suggest that you line catch tray with aluminum foil for easy clean up. I have used it for 8 oz burgers and steaks and they turned out good. A word of advice. I have tried many devices similar to this, and none of the control temperature settings are accurate. Just find the spot on the control units dial that cooks at your your food the way you like it. I finally purchased a laser temp read unit for around $13 that tells what the actual temperature. I like this unit so much I bought the Zojirushi indoor electric griddle. 5 stars. I did not know bacon could taste so good. Bacon, eggs, french toast so far and no sticking. Very easy to clean. Easier to pour off grease from bacon than from a skillet.

Exactamente lo que imaginé muy buen producto. Ideal para hacer una carnita asada para pocas personas sin hacer mucho humo. Queda muy bien.

Recently, I have adopted a Paleo lifestyle. For those not familiar with Paleo it is short for Palaeolithic diet and essentially involves getting back to the the way our ancient ancestors ate, what our bodies were designed for. The basic idea of the diet is no grains, no legumes, and no, or limited, dairy (in a nutshell). Essentially it is a "hunter, gatherers diet" including meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, nuts ... you get the idea. Pretty much everything I like to eat so, the diet is easy to follow. The only issue I had was I prefer my meat grilled. Yes, I have a BBQ and I use it all year round. I do, however, live in a part of the country where some days you just do not want to go outside to cook your dinner. Even if I didn't, it is nice to have a good grill to use indoors. I searched high and low for the perfect grill, and I found it in the Zojirushi EB-DLC10, and then some! This grill works perfectly. As good, if not better than my BBQ! And best of all it is easy to clean. It disassembles in a snap and washes up nicely so it is just like new for the next time you use it and, believe me, you will use it often. In short, I am extremely pleased with the purchase of this grill. I did consider many others but, in the end, I felt this best met what I was looking for. I was not wrong. Whether you are going Paleo or are just looking for a good indoor grill, you can't go wrong with this one. I own a few other Zojirushi products and have always been very satisfied with the quality and functionality of their products. I don't know why I didn't just look at their grills in the first place. Compared side by side with the other current offerings, the Zojirushi EB-DLC10 came out on top and did not disappoint.

C'est un gril de bonne qualité et qui grille merveilleusement bien sans faire de fumée! Je le recommande aux foodies!

Bought this for my mother, and she raves about how much better it is than her old grill. Even heat, good grill marks, good performance! Worth the price!

this is the best grill, easy to clean, food tastes great, sturdy construction, and large surface is great to cook veggies meat and fruit.
