For the last seven years, I have lived in an apartment that doesn't have any outdoor space. Any grilling I do must be done on an indoor, counter top grill so as not to set off any fire alarms or asphyxiate the members of my household. For that reason, I became a fan of the indoor grills named after a certain boxing celebrity. I used George's removed plate grill for a number of years, always accepting its drawbacks, simply grateful that I could get some measure of char on my turkey burgers.
Then Calphalon contacted me and said that they were making a pretty darn fine non-stick, indoor, removable plate grill and did I want to take one for a test drive? Intrigued, I said yes. Folks, let me tell you, this is the Cadillac of indoor grills. It comes dressed in a very sleek stainless steel casing, gives you the option of varying your cooking temperature and also allows you to set a timer (something that other grill never let me do) in order to limit cooking time. Additionally, the grill strips on the Calphalon grill are raised up much higher than the other grills I've used, allowing your burgers, steaks, sausages and quesadillas to acquire far more satisfying and flavorful grill marks.
