This is one of those Boy meet’s Grill stories
I’m wondering where I could buy a grill like this: georgeforemancooking.com/pro … fault.aspx ?
I’m also looking here in Shanghai, but I’ll plan to visit Taipei later this month, so it would be cool to pick up a (universal volt) grill like this there, too
No problem. Very easy to find in Taipei. I know because I’ve almost bought one several times.
I’m tempted because we live on the 4th floor with no balcony and no elevator, so we never do barbecue and I figured that might make a decent substitute. I figured I’d use it sitting on our stovetop (crappy, modern, electronic glass stovetop) so I can use the stove’s exhaust fan above it. And, it should be relatively easy to clean up all the spattered grease off the glass stovetop (or one could put newspapers under it).
Anyway, I’m fairly certain they’re available at the yellow 3C stores, Carrefour, Costco, neighborhood electronic shops, etc.
What’s kept you from closing the deal? If it works as good/easily as I’ve been told, I plan to get one for the inlaws and bring one back with me to Shanghai
It was actually my sister who recommended I get one. She pretty much echo the comments I saw posted on Amazon - very easy to use and clean, virtually smokeless thanks to the water catch below the grill, safe - my 5-year old niece was apparently basting and turning sausages to her little hearts content with her proud parents looking on. When they received it as a gift, their first impulse was to store it in the basement along with other equipment that will never see the light of day again. But my dad was visiting (it was his gift), so they figured to give it a whirl. Next thing you know it, they are using it almost every other day.
Nothing that should keep you from making the purchase. Just global crisis and domestic impact. Bought this, bought that, not sure it’s worth spending NT$2000 on a cooking device, especially when we usually eat out. And, lack of counterspace/cupboards in our tiny kitchen. Already have a blender and a toaster and a juicer in cupboards somewhere. But they do look great and, after your comments, it’ll be harder to pass it up next time.
Please post a review if you do buy one.
Taiwan is 110V China is 220V, you better get one in HK as the ones here will burn out in China…
This might not be what you’re into, but the 3c next to the B&Q/ Hola / Carrefour in Yong he has these clamshell type grills that are quite big for 500 bucks. I just throw the food in mine, close it for 5 minutes or so and the food comes out nice.
