DASH Mini Maker Portable Grill Machine + Panini Press for 4" Burgers, Sliders, Sandwiches, Chicken + Other On the Go Breakfast, Lunch, or Snacks with Recipe Guide - Red

Awesome little grill, I figured I could use it for lunches at work, it's very difficult to get clean, but hey it does the job of cooking, I've made steak in less then 10 minutes and that's fast! It doesn't really stick and the heating performance is consistent.

This is the best little appliance for a single person. Warms up fast, cooks quickly. Great for a Grilled Sandwich, a single burger or small filet mignon. Many great uses. Small & easy to store. I recommend this product for single people, seniors & college dorm rooms.

I bought this to keep in the office and make my cheese melts for lunch. It's a perfect size, easy to clean and easy to use. I have used it to make hot sandwiches at work. Use cold cuts and cheese on a tortilla and fold it and grill it, perfect easy and delicious.

OK, I mainly bought this because it was cute. And I have a Dash mini rice cooker that is terrific for use in my travel trailer (I'm cooking for two.) In testing the panini press, I tried three tests: 1. Reheat a leftover piece of a muffuletta sandwich: While this fat sandwich is admittedly way too thick for the press, it did a credible job of heating the sandwich through and crisping the bread, the bottom of which had become rather soggy. 2. "Taco" with ricotta, mozzarella and marinara. This was obviously not the best use for this machine, or probably any panini press for that matter. The ricotta melted and oozed out with the marinara before the tortilla was adequately toasted. I'd consider this one a fail. 3. "Quesadilla" with chicken, poblano, and jack cheese. This one came out a little better since the ingredients didn't start out liquid, but again the cheese melted and oozed out before the tortilla was as toasty as I would have liked it. I'm going to assume that generally, this machine isn't great for toasting stuffed tortillas. SUMMARY: I will try a few more tests before giving up, but I'm not sure how much I'll really use this machine. The capacity is really small, so heating up a small sandwich for 1 is probably the optimal use for me. I wouldn't use it to cook burgers or meat or eggs--I'd always use another method for those applications. And if I need to heat up two sandwiches, I'd probably use the stove top or oven so they are done at the same time. I didn't find the functionality great enough to get a second one in order to heat two sandwiches simultaneously. I also did not find it all that easy to clean anything that oozed off the non-stick surface.

This is very small, but perfect for one person. I've used it for burger patties that I size myself, not pre-shaped so that it will fit. Also, for small breakfast patties, grilled cheese with firm bread, cut to size, or English muffin. Also good for panini style sandwich with small thin chicken cutlet, and firm bread cut to size. Can't get a lot of ingredients on there, but otherwise handy to use. The recipe included for grilled pineapple with cinnamon and nutmeg is very good. I've also found it easy to clean.

I put a Bubba burger on it which lapped a bit over the sides. It took 6 minutes to fully cook w/the final two having me press down to force stronger contact. It is portable, takes up little space but hardly a cooking panacea. Would I buy it again? Probably not.

I love this perfect mini grill for one person!!

I love this little grill! It's perfect for cooking a hamburger patty or chicken strips for a salad. Cooks fast and taste great. Great for cooking for one. Be aware clean up is the only drawback but for me I would still recommend it.

Me encanta son súper prácticas lindas y fáciles de usar. lo que no me encanta es que se calientan demasiado y hay que tener mucho cuidado para manipular cuando está caliente Los materiales son excelentes

My wife was finding it difficult to make good breakfast for her before work and get me daughter ready for school every morning. She found the regular size grill too much of work to heat up burger patties + the regular size grill would press a single burger too much. One day she just said that "I wish there was small little baby grill for a single burger" I just searched for one on Amazon and found this. It was good price, so ordered one. It is magical. My wife has been using it everyday since we got it. It has the perfect size, and its capable of cooking frozen burgers (no overnight thawing). dr. praeger's vegan patties fits best. I have also cooked Beyond meat patties (frozen) and it grills with ease. It's easy to clean and store as well. The only feature missing is a cook timer, so I can put the Burgers in, set a timer and do other thing without worrying about over cooking. I solved that issue with plugging it into a wifi wall socket. I hope it keeps on working as is.

Neat little grill. When they say it’s small, they mean it. I made a hamburger and I was more than impressed. It heated really quick! It fit a frozen hamburger patty perfectly (I was worried it was too small) There were no guidelines on how long to cook it for, which is why I gave it four stars. I compared cook times to the turkey burger they had in the recipe book, which was about 8 minutes. Some may have eaten it at that point, I like it well done. So I flipped it (you don’t have to) at 8 minutes then grilled the other side for 3minutes, added cheese for less than a minute. It was perfectly cooked!! So much better than in a fry pan, because you don’t have all that extra oil you’ve had to add to the pain. I obviously unplugged it as soon as I removed the meat. I let it cool down completely and wiped it clean. It was so easy to clean! It’s great for someone on their own, or a student in a dorm. If you’re making more than one hamburger, this isn’t for you. It would take a while, and everyone would be eating at different times. Overall, I’m really pleased with my purchase. I mean for $20, why not?. We own the Dash donut maker as well. So far, we are happy with the brand.

Excelente compra para una persona que como yo con poco espacio y ser muy práctico para preparar algo de desayunar o cenar de manera rápida. Sus mejores características son que tiene una superficie antiadherente y que calienta los alimentos por ambos lados.
