Overview
Hamilton Beach's 25601 is a 4-in-1 indoor grill, griddle and bacon cooker with removable nonstick plates, opening flat to roughly double its 100 square inch surface, with a temperature dial up to 400 degrees F.
The pitch is replacing several separate appliances with one: a grill for dinner, a flat griddle for breakfast, and a kickstand mode that tilts the unit for bacon grease to drain without splatter. Owners generally confirm the versatility works as described, with a couple of caveats about the grill side's grooves.
- 4-in-1: grill, griddle, grill/griddle combo, bacon cooker
- Opens flat to about 200 sq in total
- Removable, dishwasher-safe nonstick plates
- Adjustable temperature dial to 400 degrees F
Who it's for
Fits a household wanting one countertop appliance to cover grilling, griddle breakfasts and bacon without stovetop mess. Less suited to anyone who wants deep grill grooves for pronounced char marks.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who replaced two or three separate appliances with this one say the bacon cooker mode genuinely avoids splatter and the flat-open griddle handles a full breakfast at once. The main gripe is that the grill side's grooves are shallow and widely spaced compared to a traditional grill, so char marks are light, and one owner noted the lightweight aluminum plates lose heat faster on longer cooks.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Removable plates go in the dishwasher once cooled
- Opens flat to roughly double the cooking surface
- Bacon cooker kickstand drains grease without splatter
- Adjustable temperature dial up to 400 degrees F
- Grill side grooves are shallow and widely spaced, so char marks are light
- Lightweight aluminum plates hold less heat over a long cook per one owner
- One owner flagged nonstick coating wear as a wait-and-see concern
Performance notes
The dial adjusts up to 400 degrees F, and one owner measured about six minutes to reach 375 degrees. Plates snap out for dishwasher cleaning once cooled, and the bacon cooker mode tilts the unit via a kickstand so grease drains into a pan instead of splattering.
