Grrrrrr-illing

You know those electric "George Foreman" style grills? They should add "impossible to clean" onto their list of features. Does the top hinge open 180 degrees? No. Can you remove the grilling surface? No. Can you at least remove the heating element before you wash it? Nyet. Here is a conversation between the designers of this worthless piece of flotsam:

Designer 1: "Hey George, I've got an idea! Why don't we submerge this household electrical appliance in water to clean it!"

Designer 2: "Great idea, Bill! Afterwards, we can go out dressed in knee-highs and call each other Nancy while whalloping each other upon the head with large frozen haddock!"

Designer 1: "Sounds good to me, lets call it a day"

Me: "Morons."

Actually, the newer models do have removable grilling surfaces, for exactly that reason! And they even have an uber fancy model that has different purpose trays...flat ones, grill ones, sandwich ones...
