How To Choose The Best Indoor Electric Grill

If you want to get more ideas to buy the grill, I suggest you read this part first. I believe you will gain more insight into the grill.

Size

It’s very important to choose the right side of the grill. Some gills are only enough for 2 servings. If you have a big family, you have to cook for a long time for everyone.

If you always have a BBQ party, then you have to buy a big one. Some grills are enough for 8 servings. It can cook food faster. Otherwise, I believe most of your friends will feel hungry.

Dishwasher Safe

This criterion is very important. If the parts of the grill are dishwasher safe, then you don’t have to get stuck cleaning in the kitchen for a long time after having a nice dinner or BBQ party.

Removable Plate

Not all the grill comes with a removable plate. If your grill doesn’t have one, you can only clean it with a damp cloth. It’s relatively difficult to clean well compare to the dishwasher.

If you don’t like to clean it by your hand or you are always busy, you have to pay more attention to this.

Sloped Grilling Surface

If your grill comes with a sloped grilling surface, the fat and the grease will flow along with the plate to the drip tray. It can help to reduce the fat of the food and healthier.

Most of them have a flat grilling surface only. If you want healthier, pay more attention to this as well.

Dual Cooking Positions

If your grill has an adjustable leg or kickstand or black, you can set the grill slope or flat. When it is sloped, the effect is totally the same as the sloped grilling surface.

You know, sometimes if the food has more fat, it will be yummier. This feature gives you the flexibility to control the fat and grease.

Adjustable Hinge

The grill can adjust the hinge according to the thickness of the food. It can help you to cook the food evenly.

Sear Function

If you are a steak lover, the sear function may be able to fulfill your high requirement of how to cook the steak. It can achieve a flavorful and tender result.

If you like, you can take a look at Hamilton Beach 25331 Nonstick Indoor Searing Grill and Breville BGR820XL Smart Grill.

Try to imagine, if sausage falls into the drip tray, the fat and the grease will splash everywhere.

Temperature Control

It gives you great flexibility to control the food with different textures and tastes. Not some of the grills have this feature.

Timer Control

I only see this feature on the most expensive model Breville BGR820XL Smart Grill.

If the timer is up, the grill will alert you to prevent the food from overcooking.

Backlit Digital Display

This feature is also only available on the most expensive model Breville BGR820XL Smart Grill.

All the information related to cooking will be shown on the display. You can set the time or temperature precisely than other grills.

Automatic Cooking Programs

With this feature, the grill stores the cooking time and the temperature for different food. The only thing you need to do is to press the right button.

This feature is only available in T-fal GC70 OptiGrill Electric Grill.

Fan

Some big grill comes with a fan. It can keep smokeless during cooking.

Multi-Function

Some grill is multi-function. You can use it as a grill, griddle, or slow cooker. So, the type of food you can food is more than the grill.

If you don’t want any repeat function appliance in your kitchen, you can consider buying the multi-function grill.

Raclette Grill

This kind of grill comes with a specific dish to cook the cheese. If you like cheese, you can take a look at Swissmar KF-77041 Classic 8-Person Raclette Grill.

Cord Storage

Some grills can wrap the cord on the bottom. It can keep your counter or cabinet neatly.

Stops

Some grill has many stops at the end of the grill plate. It can prevent food like sausage from rolling down to your table and mess it up.

Conclusion

There are many ways to cook different food. But, what is the best way to cook?

Did you use the microwave, deep fryer, air fryer, oven, or skillet to cook a burger, steak, fish, or chicken?

Actually, I don’t think the grill is the basic appliance in the kitchen. It’s suitable for someone who is budget enough and wants to try a new taste.

If you are a burger lover or steak lover, you can also have a try.

I hope my post is helpful for you to make the best decision. If you have any questions, please leave them below. I’d love to hear that.

We can discuss everything about the grill together.

I didn’t realize that this is the same site as the Pizzelle Maker post until I scrolled down and saw the distinctive style (Table of Contents, ending with the significance of different product features etc.). In this article, I noticed features that hadn’t came to mind when using countertop grills in the past.

Hey Great post, I miss my George Foreman grill so this is my reminder to get it back. How do you know if a grill has the sear feature or not? I would love to have this for steaks

    Hello Carlton, thanks for the comment. In my post, I will mention the SEAR function explicitly if the grill comes with this feature. If you want to know fast, you can use the search function(Ctrl + F) in your browser. Then, you will find it quickly.

    If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask me at any time.

Wonderful post. You have gone to a great deal of reasearch and I think you got about every electric grill on the market here. I love that you included everything about all the grills: thier coatings, storage size, cooking surface size and more. All things I look at when I am considering such purchases. The selection you have here is so broad, anyone should be able to find one they want. I think I have found two acutally. I grill outdoors all the time but, grilling indoors is something I just started a couple of years ago and I have not seen or heard of some of these grills. Thanks for cluing me in and providing me with all the options.
