The Hamilton Beach 25363 is built for high-heat performance, specifically calibrated to reach a 450°F searing threshold. This makes it a practical choice for those looking to achieve a traditional outdoor grill finish on steaks or burgers while indoors. The unit features a 118-square-inch cooking surface and a 1200-watt serpentine heating coil designed for rapid thermal recovery after cold food is added to the grate.
The design includes a brushed stainless steel exterior and a viewing window made of tempered borosilicate glass. This window allows for monitoring the cooking progress and fat-flare-ups without lifting the hood and losing ambient heat. The grate uses a PFAS-free ceramic coating, providing a non-stick surface that avoids specific chemical off-gassing at high temperatures.
Specifications indicate that while the unit is marketed for six servings, the surface area is most comfortably suited for three to four people. To help manage particulate matter indoors, tests suggest pre-filling the drip tray with a thin layer of water. The hood and grate are removable for cleaning, and while they are rated for the dishwasher, top-rack placement is recommended to protect the ceramic layer.
For those needing a significantly larger cooking area for larger gatherings, the George Foreman 15-serving grill provides nearly double the surface space.
