The thing about the Foreman Grill is you are buying a name. I use a
similar item made by Hamilton. It's about 1/2 the price and does the
same job. The "drip pan" is in the side and pulls out like a drawer and
it comes with either in place or removable grills depending on the model.

I found my Hamilton grill lasts longer with the non-stick coating. I
just wipe it off with paper towels now when it cools. It's coating is
better than Foreman.
