Burgers for dinner tonight, and as has been the case for the last few times we've done them under the broiler, the kitchen ends up smokey and we end up opening windows. Plus, it's a pita to scrub the grilling rack and get rid of the accumulated grease at the bottom of the pan. Yes, I know many of you will reply that you grill outdoors 365 days a year, but I've put away the grill for the season because I have no intention of standing outside in 30 degree weather to grill a couple of burgers. I've tried frying them on the stovetop, but the grease splatters all over.
So I've started to think about other options, like a Foreman type countertop grill/griddle. I'd like to hear from those who have or have used one. Are some better than others? Are they any better that just using a grilling surface on the stovetop (ours is gas)? Any better and less messy options that are easy, quick and could be used for a steak or a chicken breast as well as a burger? It needn't be big, as we'll do only two at a time, no matter what it is. Let's hear about your preferred way of cooking up a couple of burgers.
