Healthy, but...! Sep 27, 2005
By scottls1
"scottls1"
I'm "REALLY!" in to a healthier lifestyle, and subscribe to "several" respected health e-zines.
1. 15+ years ago I read tests that charcoal BBQ's, really put "LOTS" of very bad carciniogens into your meat!
2. So I went to a gas BBQ. Not as good tasting as charcoal, but "SUPPOSEDLY" healthier?
NOT!- Now I read tests that gas BBQ's are little healthier than charcoal. The "deadly" carciniogens are in the drippings smoke- coming from the hot lava rocks below!
3. So I now go to the MECO electric grill.
Pros-
a. Healthier- as virtually no smoke (grill/elements are steeply slanted, and drippings collect in a handy pan under the grill).
b. No having to mess with expensive propane gas...
c. Well made, and sturdy.
d. Low fire danger- Acceptable for most apartment complexes. ASK!
e. Sears steaks well (preheat on high for 15+ min, and close lid FAST! Requires a "Heavy Duty" electric outlet!). Cooks just as fast (or faster) than gas. BUT, "NO!" BBQ taste! You will probably need a marinade...
Good "web search" recipe I found for steaks...-
I pre-mix & rub in, a blend of-
salt ("AlsoSalt"- is very healthy and GOOD tasting!), black pepper, chili powder (all in equal parts...), and a little cayenne pepper. You can also add any other seasonings you like, to taste...
PAM makes a "High Temp" cooking spray, for the grill.
4. Cons-
a. This is difficult and time consuming (2+ hours! & I'm VERY handy!), to assemble!
Tips- Pounding on the axel end caps was a challenge (finally laid it on it's side, and put a 1/4 drive socket (for backing, on the other end) & hold cap with pliers.
You will surely drop screws... (I put an old sheet underneath it).

 Great Grill Jul 23, 2007
By J. Rivas
This grill is great. It took about an hour to assemble but it was relatively easy. It's a good size (you could easily grill a couple of steaks on it) plus the rotisserie feature is nice. It heats up quickly and cooks the food evenly. The grill itself is sturdy and thick and leaves nice grill marks on the food. It is removable and easy to clean either by hand or in the dishwasher. The side trays are also removable and are a heavy duty plastic that can be put in the dishwasher. If you choose to you can put some hickory chips in the bottom of the unit next to the heat coils, then close the hood and smoke the food, which gives the food a great hickory smoked flavor. There is a drip tray at the bottom of the unit that is easy to remove and clean. I like the fact that this grill is environmentally friendly and I never have to worry about running out of gas halfway through my cooking. All in all, this is a great grill and I'm very happy with it.

Love my Electric Grill May 11, 2007
By Summer L. Lively
I really love this grill. I am able to turn it on and in just a few minutes later, ready to grill! no muss, no fuss. I was successful in putting it together myself without any difficulty. It took about an hour. I really feel better about using this grill in terms of less pollution/better for the environment.

Good Decision Aug 20, 2006
By Sharon M.
I am very pleased with this grill - the only comment I have it is a little difficult to take the tray out to clean. The food does not taste like a charcoal grill but it is extremely close and probably a lot healthier. I am pleased with this grill.

Suprisingly pleased May 25, 2008
By Doug Ferri
After reading some of the reviews about the Meco electric grill, I was alittle skepticle about purchasing one. I live in a Co-op so I have no choice, if I want to grill which I like to do all year round its gonna have to be an electric grill.
In short its great. Takes alittle getting used to. I found letting it warm up for ten minutes seems to help. Stay close though as it will cook faster than it appears on the outside. The first few burgers and steaks were alittle dry from over cooking. The only downside I have is the glass window which has since I have owned the grill, fallen in several times due to the clip that supports the glass is alittle short. Otherwise get one and happy grilling...
