~~ EATING GOOD ON A RAINY DAY ~ HAMILTON BEACH HEALTHSMART 25270 INDOOR GRILL ~~

You have your big, get-together grill, your portable camping/vacation grill, and now you have your "It is thundering and lightning outside and I want a "kabob" grill! While I am partial to George Foreman, and still have my Foreman indoor grill, I have temporarily replaced it with another trusted household name, Hamilton Beach with it's wonderfully lean and mean "HealthSmart 25270" that by far savors the food while keeping your heart blood pumping! I have struggled back and forth with a stubborn 10 pounds since I was in a car accident last year. I have been on Nutrisystem, which I became bored of, the Atkins, which became to hard to keep up with in my fast paced life, the Hollywood Diet that is basically a water-loss diet. After taking a nutrition class at my local college for both my families health, but for the credit I needed, I learned alot about how to balance my diet and how cutting out little things makes a big difference!



WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

You can find this at any local retailer. It is hard to decide which grill to get when bombarded in the isle, so let me help you out a little bit. This promotes healthy eating, it comes with it's own recipes, and extracts the fat out of the food when grilling. It takes under 10 minutes to grill things, and retains the vitamins while grilling out the toxins, fat and transfat. When you look at it, you want to cook healthy, and it is so simple to use, all you have to do it plug it in and wait for it to signal that it is done. It cooks great! The griddle is designed so that the fat and grease drips down away from the food and into a catch drip tray that is easily removed and cleaned. It does take up counter space, so if you only use it once a week, it is best to store it inside the center island or cupboard when not in use. It is a clamshell design, that opens and closes to surround the food, with indention lines in the top and bottom part of the actual grills to imprint and cook your food in the magical way that it does!


JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM!!

There is a lot of room for a lot of food. It has a 73 square inch surface that is covered with a non-stick formula, making it easy to remove when done. It cooks front to back, and does not burn while it ensures that the inside is cooked well, which is really important when it comes to eating anything that is raw or under-done. The drip tray is dishwasher safe, and it is easy to clean with a washcloth and dish soap. I haven't had any food stick to the grid the way I have had to deal with George Foreman. The depth is 12 inches and the width is 18 inches. The handle is very cool, even when the grill is hot. It takes about 3 minutes to heat up and about 5 minutes to cool down after use.


HOW'S THAT WORKIN' FOR YA??

I LOVE IT! With my 20 minutes or less window for dinner on some nights, it is great to just put a few chicken breasts on and eat a balanced calorie count. It is much better than having take out pizza twice a week, or microwave pre-packaged dinners every night. I look forward to using the recipes and creating ones of my own. If you want more recipes, you can visit www.recipes.com and look under marinades, and grilling. You can grill shrimp, steaks, anything and this grill can handle it! I have lost at least 3 pounds since I have been using it over the last 6 weeks!


DO I OR DO I NOT THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GET ONE OF THESE??

Yes! You will feel better, look better, and your heart will thank you for it. Until you start eating healthy you don't even feel the damage that the take out and junk food is doing. The variety of food, the ease of use, the hassle free cleaning and the fast and creative meal will make you want to grill indoors every night!
