I purchased a two-serving classic unit on sale, but it's more like a one-serving unit. The next week, I bought a four-serving unit with removable cooking surfaces, which is more like what I expected the two-serving unit to be. I use the four-serving unit more often when cooking for my wife and me.
I've used the Courant grill to cook burgers, chicken breast, boned chicken thighs, cabbage steaks and bacon. Cooking bacon requires turning for even cooking, but the fat is well extracted.
For the cabbage, I cut slices and brushed them with olive oil and garlic powder before cooking. It makes a delicious side dish.
I also made pressed breakfast sandwiches using the grill, with a muffin, egg, bacon, and cheese. Precook the egg in a frying pan while cooking the bacon on the grill.
The removable grill plates are easier to clean than the fixed plates, but both are manageable if cleaned while still warm. I had trouble cleaning burnt-on debris from the fixed grill plates once, but using a damp dish towel between the closed plates helped to clean it off.
The heat is fairly even, but thicker items cook faster near the hinge side. Pressing the lid down onto the food helps to ensure even cooking.

This sandwich maker is easy to use and simple. With just a quick plug-in, it heats up while I make my sandwich. After the light goes off, I put my sandwich in and spray some butter on the bread. It comes out crispy and melty. After unplugging it, I wipe it down with a paper towel. It's not ideal for making sandwiches for a whole family, but for a quick panini, it's great.

This grill is not able to fit two preformed frozen hamburger patties at once, but I actually like that it cooks the first patty quickly and the next one is ready by the time I finish eating. It works well for cooking two preformed sausage patties from Aldi, but I need to flip them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Despite not meeting my initial expectations, this grill works perfectly for me.

I recently purchased a new Courant grill to replace my old one of the same size. The new grill is noticeably lighter in weight but still functions well. I typically cook small meals and can fit four 4-oz steaks on the grill or two hamburger patties if I arrange them diagonally. Like my old grill, this one cooks quickly and evenly, and it seems to pre-heat faster. I also find it very easy to clean - I simply wipe the surface with a dry paper towel while it's still hot and sometimes follow up with a damp paper towel. However, I was disappointed that the grill does not have a ceramic non-stick surface, so I deducted one star from my rating.

I absolutely adore my Courant grill. It's incredibly user-friendly and makes cooking burgers a breeze compared to using a skillet on the stove. It's also a lot less messy. However, I do wish there was a better way to melt cheese on it, as it tends to stick to the top. The cleaning process can also be a bit of a hassle, as some things get cooked on there really well and require washing over the sink without getting the cord or other parts wet. Despite these issues, I do love the grill. It's just a shame that the plates aren't removable for easier cleaning, and the drip tray doesn't attach to the end like I expected. I'm surprised these points weren't mentioned in other reviews.

I didn't have high expectations at first because of its small size, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's my first time using a Courant and I can't believe I went without it. It's easy to use and clean, which is a big plus for me. I love cooking bacon but hate the mess it makes, and this grill solves that problem. It's amazing for the price and I use it almost every day. I've cooked a variety of foods on it and they've all turned out perfectly. The only downside is that some parts of the grill don't heat up as evenly, but it's something you can adjust to. I highly recommend it!

This grill has been a huge help for me since it arrived. I have cerebral palsy and it's difficult for me to cook certain foods on a stove top skillet without worrying about grease splattering and burning me. The Courant eliminates the need to flip meats and also reduces the splattering and mess. I gave it four stars because the size is somewhat misleading - it's more of a 1 and 1/2 serving model. However, it quickly heats up and is great for cooking a quick meal. It's also easy to clean.

I bought this grill in June and I have to say, it's just okay. I had a white Courant Grill for about 10 years and I only stopped using it because it was accidentally broken. Even when it was broken, I still tried to use it, but it was unsafe. So I had to buy a new grill and this one seemed reasonably priced. However, it's not a good replacement for my old grill. It burns food if you don't check on it after 15 minutes, and it doesn't shut off when the food is ready. Despite all of this, I still use it every day. I can't imagine life without a Courant Grill.
