AROMAHousewares ASP-137B 3-Quart/10-inch 3-in-1 Super Pot with Grill Plate, Black

LOVE IT!!! Light weight but sturdy. Cook a great steak in it last night in 6 min. Highly recommend for a good indoor grill but the diversity of things you can cook in it too like soups, shrimp, stews, salmon, etc makes it a great appliance with multiple uses.

I live in a desert, where appliance cooking makes total sense. Because I take pains to avoid adding unnecessary heat to our cottage for most of the year, I have gone through a a variety of electric skillets and Foreman grills, in search of the just-right-for-my-style-of-cooking-appliance.None have been completely satisfactory, for one reason or another, but this Aroma mult-pot is almost perfect in all the important ways.I bought it as a warehouse deal, knowing I was taking a chance. Who among us has not received a broken or defective product returned by some earlier buyer? But the price was low enough that I was willing to gamble.Sure enough, the pot arrived with a the broken plastic housing on the control plug, but it was nothing a dab of epoxy glue couldn't fix. I was too eager to put it to work to be arsed to send it back.It has been used almost daily since then. It is much more versatile than a panini press type grill and a perfect size for a two-person household. Last night I grilled some burgers and then browned chicken cubes for tonight's chicken verde. I cooked up a mess of bacon in it this morning. I'll make braised escarole and beans tomorrow night and grilled cheese sandwiches the next. It will be used for a Halloween houseparty hotpot at the end of this month.This is how I know I have found a really "good," or, at least, good-for-me appliance...something about it encourages it's frequent use. This three-in-one superpot is my new favorite in that regard. Move on over, egg cooker/single serve broccoli steamer!Some reviewers say these are "flimsy" appliances, but they are judging this pot by its cover. Yes, the surrounding frame is plastic, but it is not likely to break unless it is severely abused. It is advertised as being dishwasher proof but it is easier to wipe it down after each use.The cooking portion is a snap to remove and replace and (relatively) easy to clean. I also appreciate the indicator light on the dial, which makes it easy to fine tune low temperature cooking. The overall temperature control is very responsive, with the unit heating up and cooling down quickly and the non-stick finish is superb.But the top selling point (Grill Marks!) is also my top gripe. Those luscious bown marks come from ridges. Ridges make it difficult to spatula out leftover grease, and demand the melt and pour method of cleaning, vs. the scrape and dunk method. Being firmly in the former camp, I want this with a flat bottom pan, and a removable ridged insert for the occaisional times when really want Grill Marks! I would even pay full price for it.But until then, I will just have to make do with my nearly almost perfect Grillette. Life is tough, I tell ya.

I love this grill! Perfect for quick steak or quick hamburger, not really for much else. Perfect for the person who doesn't like to clean any grease after cooking up a steak or hamburger!! So it is perfect for me.PROS1) This is a GREAT grill for 1-2 household to make a quick steak or a hamburger. It can hold 2 hamburgers and 2 thin steaks or 1 large steak.2)You can season before or after. I season my meat after it cooks.3)The high setting is what I use. 3 min on one side then 3 min on the other. I put sliced onions and garlic in around the edges of the grill and within 6-7 min have a great meal and no grease to clean up on the stove. This is one reason I bought it, to prevent having to clean both a fry pan AND a stove top every time I fry a streak or burger.4)You don't have to add butter or any oil to pan it stays moist because of the lid.5)You don't have to preheat the grill before you set the meat inside, although I sometimes turn it on high then wait 30 second then put my meat in.6)I don't cook and I abhor cleaning especially grease so this grill is a life-saver for me!7) should wash after every use but don't have to if it didn't make a lot of grease. Easy to wash. I soak mine in hot soapy water for 10 min then use my dish scrub brush or just a wash cloth to finish. Very easy to clean! Plus the outer white housing it sits in stays clean and doesn't get dirty or greasy, can just wipe with wash clothCONS - LID CRACKS AFTER MONTHS OF USE - SOLUTION:1) THE DIAL on it should be printed more easy to read which is high and which is low and should light up if it is on. It does light up when you turn it on but the light shuts off when it reaches its set temperature so you have to be careful to make sure you unplug it when you're done if not it would be very easy to accidentally leave it on which is dangerous. THIS IS THE BIGGEST CON OF THIS PRODUCT. There should be a light that stays on when the grill is on. period!2) Not so great for hot dogs. They seem to stay too dry since they don't have natural oil like hamburgers and steaks do so I don't use it for hot dogs.3) Not so great for fried chicken. At least mine didn't come out good, but I'm not a good cook so perhaps that's why. It took 2 hours to cook on its highest setting 7 chicken wings. Maybe it would be better for a chicken breast not sure but I only use for steak and hamburgers which it is GREAT!!!4) The white plastic handle on the glass lid cracked after 5 months. But I found the solution on Amazonjust bought this on Amazon to replace my handled that cracked: it's white too:"Universal Pot Lid Replacement White Knobs Pan Lid Holding Handles (1 Pack) by Knob&Knob" $7.89 free shippingYou can also call the manufacturer 800-276-6286 but all I got was a voice mail saying they'll call you back. But their website says they only sell the whole lids $8.99 plus $4.99 shipping MUST KNOW MODEL# = ASP-137 WHITEOR JUST ASP-137 and they are currently out of stock so i just bought the one from Amazon.

This is the best vessel for cooking hotpot with up to like 5-6 friends!!!! It’s so easy to use and take apart for cleaning. It boils water pretty quickly so I can immediately get it going and start tossing veggies and meat in my hotpot. Love love love. I’ve had mine for three years and it’s still going strong. I even gifted one because I liked it so much. I will say though that at this point, part of the black (non-stick?) coating of the grillet has peeled or chipped off so I’m taking off a star for that.

I've been using this electric pot with grill plate for over three seasons now, and I'm still amazed at how well it works. It's become our favorite, perfect for everything from family hotpot to sizzling BBQs. It's good for a family or party of 3 to 4 people.What I love most is its versatility. One day, we are cooking a delicious broth for hotpot, and the next, I'm grilling up juicy bbq on the balcony during a sunny and beautiful day. The heat power knob gives me precise control over the temperature, so I can always get the perfect cook.Plus, it's incredibly easy to clean. The non-stick coating on the grill plate makes cleanup a breeze.I'm so impressed with its durability. Even after countless uses, it still works like new. If you're looking for a reliable and versatile cooking appliance, I highly recommend this electric pot with grill plate

Éste electrodoméstico lo uso casi a diario: calienta rápido, se regula fácilmente, es muy versátil, le cabe hasta un kilo de carne más vegetales o pasta, la tapa sirve para acelerar el tiempo de cocción, en fin, es como un sartén eléctrico pero con la ventaja de una parrilla al mismo tiempo. Ésta marca es buenísima, y el precio es muy bajo para la utilidad que puede dar.

this hotpot, not cheap, lasted precisely one (1) use then died. Didn't work again. Dead, defunct.In its one use, I was reminded of the problem common the electrical heating gadgets; they are either on, flat out, or not on at all. A rolling simmer, I'd have thought essential in a hot pot, is not possible.Go gas next one, not electric. And particularly not one of these.

product look nice but it working with 12 VAC which this electric power not available in india (220-240 Vac) so very sad i cannot use it.

Just love this pot. I've used it every day since it arrived. Heats and cooks very fast, and holds quite a lot. Love the grill marks, and how well it sears meat. Very happy with it, but still waiting for my refund on the other grill Amazon could not deliver. What's up with that?
