Salter EK2009 Marblestone Electric Health Grill & Panini Press - Non-Stick Plates, Multifunctional Healthy Cooking For Toasted Sandwiches, Kebabs, Steak, Meat, Automatic Temperature Control, 750W

Product Information

Grills with slightly slanted cooking plates are desirable, as they encourage melted fat and oil to flow down to the drip trays. This reduces the amount of residual fat and oil on your food and makes cleaning an easier task. Barbecuing outside isn’t always easy – no sooner is the gas grill hauled out or the charcoal ready than the sky threatens showers. Instead, turn to the Indoor Outdoor BBQ Grill. It’s electric, so it starts to heat up straight away, and should the weather turn, you can carry on inside: just detach it from the stand and pop it on a worktop. Unlike most George Foreman grills, it comes with a single round plate that can be removed for cleaning, five heat settings, and a round barbecue-style lid that can be put on top to keep the heat in. The lid features a temperature gauge. Grills with lots of features were only praised for them if they worked effectively and didn't needlessly overcomplicate the cooking process. Versatile by design, use the electric grill as a panini maker or to cook lower fat meals for guests – great for tabletop dining.

Each grill was inspected and judged for its build quality, and those with uncomfortable edges, loose parts or fiddly buttons were penalised. We looked out for grill plates that were difficult to clean, little spots on the grill that are difficult to reach, and any damage or stained spots we noticed after we were finished cleaning.

It’s important to note that when shopping for gadgets and technology products, it can be tempting to go for the lowest price possible. However, be wary of retailers that offer prices that seem too good to be true. Some less reputable retailers may sell counterfeit or low-quality products, which can be dangerous and not perform as well as the genuine product. Key specs – Size: 31.5 x 32.5 x 14cm (WDH); Plates: Fixed; Variable temperature: No; Dishwasher-safe parts: Drip tray only A top lid that gently rests on but doesn’t squash food is desirable if you want to cook more delicate food such as halloumi and vegetables. All too often in our tests we found that grills with heavy lids squashed the life out of the food we cooked.

The food you like to cook will also have an impact. If you’re only planning to use it for meat, a smaller model might be best, whereas entire meals cooked on the grill will need a larger capacity to prevent food having to be grilled in batches. Some models fold out flat to double the grilling area, such as the 26250 Flexe Grill below. Along with being easy to clean, the grill also boasts a faster preheat time than previous models, coming up to temperature in a speedy four minutes. Another bonus is its compact and easy-to-store shape, which fits neatly onto even the smallest of countertops and allows it to slot vertically into crowded cupboards. Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality SALTER EK2009 Panini Maker & Grill, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. Weighs 5kg, 2000W power rating, stainless steel material, 600cm² cooking area, 4 temperature levels.So take your time to really understand the sort of product you’re looking for. Think about the sort of features that you need. Which ones are “nice-to-have” and which ones are absolutely critical. If you’re looking for a cheap option then don’t even consider the products that are all signing all dancing because you’ll be paying for features that you don’t need. Choose your retailer wisely After cooking we thoroughly cleaned each electric grill following the instructions and considered how straightforward the task was. This is a great starter grill for those who are new to the benefits of health grills, or usually cook for one or two. It’s fantastically compact, taking up barely any space on a worktop, and even less when stored vertically in a cupboard – around the same as a chunky recipe book. There’s a choice of two grilling positions: propped up so the fat can run off into the neat drip tray at the front, or flat for paninis and less fatty foods. There’s only one temperature but it should suffice for most foods, and we used it for sausages, mushrooms and toasting a flatbread without issue.
