This prevents it from becoming overdone due to the residual heat and also enhances flavour. Another touch is an improvement on previous models; while they had heating elements under the plates, the Pro has them embedded into the plates for a more superior heat. If you’re going to be doing light grilling, and it will only require a wipe in between uses, one with fixed plates could do the job and will likely be cheaper, too. Cooking Speed Yes. Even though some may do it better than others, this is a general primary design feature. Much cleaner, safer and less hassle than traditional grilling which can cause splashing onto upper elements, health grilling allows the oils to drop and then drain away and be collected in a tray of some form. Old school health grills could only cook at one temperature, but most newer models have adjustable dials with low, medium and high heat options or digital controls. This allows you to grill food more precisely, which is good for cooking delicate items such as fish, for example, where you want to avoid any dreaded dryness. If you are after a grill which can be used infrequently and is compact enough for one or two people, then this could be a great option.

We also loved the design, which is going to be important if it is going to form a bit of a centrepiece in your kitchen. The striking red colour is a pop, and it is a sleek, minimal design so won’t appear too bulky to keep out at all times.Cord storage will keep everything tidy, whether you like to keep it out on display on the bench or need to save space.

This is great for table-top grilling and entertaining. Opening up the grill offers twice the cooking surface too.A health grill looks a bit like a toastie maker, comprising two heated plates that sandwich food between them, cooking the top and the bottom together. Most are slightly slanted, with ridged plates that allow rendered fat to run off food instead of cooking it in its own grease. This excess is collected in a pot at the front of the grill. Any grease from meats and sandwiches is caught in the removable tray, providing healthier meals and is easy to dispose of excess fat But a particular selling point is the fact that you can fold this model out to cook on both plates, creating twice the space. Cook your meals to perfection in this 180° tabletop mode, or use as a panini press for top and bottom grilling. With a 4 portion grill and 6 portion griddle, this is the perfect option for anyone who regularly cooks for a lot of guests or larger households and families.
