An electric grill is ideal for households that want to grill regardless of the weather, balcony regulations or charcoal. However, it is worth taking a close look at the technical specifications before buying. A high wattage alone does not guarantee even heat, and a non-stick coating says little about cleaning if the plates cannot be removed.
2,000 or 2,400 watts can enable a fast warm-up time. However, the grill plate design, heat distribution and temperature control are also important. A high-powered appliance with a small or unevenly heated surface can be impractical when cooking for several people.
An electric indoor grill can still produce vapour from fat, marinades and escaping liquid. Models with a water tray, drip tray or sloped plates can reduce smoke. Good ventilation is still essential, however. Also check whether the manufacturer expressly states that the particular model is suitable for indoor use.
Permanently fitted grill plates can make cleaning more difficult. With a grill with removable plates, the surface can usually be cleaned separately more easily. However, the product specifications must state whether the parts are dishwasher-safe. A non-stick surface should also not be treated with metal utensils or abrasive cleaning products.
For one or two people, a compact surface such as 22 × 14 cm may be sufficient. Families should generally look for a larger grill surface. According to the product specifications, the Philips HD6210/90 has a surface area of 1.250 cm², while the Tefal SuperGrill is listed with 600 cm².
The space required on the worktop is also important, in addition to the usable surface area. Check the following before buying:
An electric grill with temperature control makes it easier to adjust the heat for meat, fish, vegetables or bread. Appliances with separately controllable heating surfaces are particularly versatile. According to the specifications, the Adler AD 3059 offers independent temperature control for the upper and lower plates from 60 to 230 °C.
Also look for:

Place the electric grill on a level, heat-resistant surface and keep it away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials. The appliance should be connected to a suitable earthed socket. Depending on the load, extension leads or multi-socket adaptors may cause problems.
Power consumption depends on the wattage and how long the appliance is used. The simple calculation is:
Power in kW × operating time in hours = consumption in kWh
A 2,000-watt appliance uses 2 kWh when running at full power for one hour. In practice, the heating element often cycles on and off once the target temperature has been reached. You will need your current electricity tariff to calculate the actual cost.
Only if the manufacturer states that the specific model is suitable for indoor use. Ensure adequate ventilation, stable positioning and sufficient distance from flammable materials. A balcony or outdoor grill is not automatically suitable for indoor use.
Its service life depends on how often it is used, cleaning, the coating and the electrical components. Gentle-use accessories, allowing the appliance to cool completely before cleaning and keeping water away from the main unit can help extend its usable life. Do not continue using the appliance if the cable or casing is damaged.
A contact grill with removable, dishwasher-safe plates where applicable is generally easier to clean thoroughly. With an open tabletop grill, the grill grate, water tray and drip tray are key considerations. Before buying, check which parts can actually be removed and what type of cleaning the manufacturer permits.
