Grill
Almost ten years ago, we bought a Black and Decker reversible wafflemaker/grill. Despite the large pool of grease that had accumulated below the lower heating element over the years, the grill continued to work, and miraculously never caught fire.
I finally retired it over the weekend, and bought a new Cuisinart Griddler, with interchangeable flat and panini plates (which I'll never use). I successfully made a sandwich with it yesterday, though I may need to set it hotter in the future.
