A tabletop grill can be a practical alternative to a large freestanding barbecue when having dinner in the kitchen, enjoying a raclette evening or grilling on the balcony. However, the appliances differ considerably in terms of heat source, grilling surface, cleaning and intended location. A compact design alone says little about how practical a grill will be in everyday use.
A small grill is easy to store in a cupboard, but may only have room for a few portions. As well as checking the external dimensions, always look at the actual grilling surface. For several people, elongated models or a raclette grill with eight pans are often more practical than a very small portable grill.
An output of 2,000 or 2,400 watts can help the grill heat up quickly. However, it does not automatically show how evenly the heat is distributed or how precisely the temperature can be adjusted. Other important features include separate heating zones, an adjustable thermostat, a thermometer or digital controls.
Not every appliance with a non-stick coating is equally easy to clean. Look for removable plates, a removable fat-drip tray and clear information about whether the components are dishwasher-safe. The main unit with the power connection must never be immersed in water.
An electric tabletop grill is suitable for the kitchen, conservatory, balcony or patio, provided that the manufacturer permits use in the intended location. It requires an earthed socket and should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
A raclette grill combines an upper grilling surface with small pans. Models with natural stone and coated grill plates offer different cooking surfaces. For traditional outdoor grilling, a BBQ tabletop grill or a charcoal tabletop grill may be suitable. These appliances produce smoke, heat and ash, so they should only be used outdoors and in accordance with local rules.

A portable grill with a diameter of 33 to 37 centimetres is easy to store, but has a limited grilling surface. A longer electric tabletop grill may be more practical for several people, but will require more space.
A stepless or multi-stage temperature control makes it easier to adapt the heat to vegetables, fish, meat or sandwiches. Appliances with two independently adjustable zones are particularly versatile. With a contact grill, an adjustable-height upper plate is also useful when preparing food of different thicknesses.
When choosing a dishwasher-safe grill, check which components are actually approved for dishwasher use. On many models, this applies only to the plates, pans and fat-drip tray, not the housing.

When using an electric tabletop grill, only use a suitable, earthed socket. The cable must not come into contact with hot surfaces. Before cleaning, the appliance must cool down completely and be disconnected from the mains.
A charcoal tabletop grill must not be used indoors, in enclosed conservatories or in poorly ventilated areas. If you live in rented accommodation, also check the building regulations, tenancy agreement and local authority requirements regarding use on balconies and patios. Hot grilling surfaces, lids and pans should be kept out of reach of children and pets.
An electric tabletop grill is often a suitable choice for a balcony, as it produces neither charcoal nor ash. However, local requirements, building regulations and a stable, heat-resistant surface are all important considerations. A charcoal tabletop grill should only be used outdoors with adequate ventilation.
Many household appliances have a stated output of between around 2,000 and 2,400 watts. Wattage alone does not determine whether a grill is suitable. Also check the grilling surface, temperature control, heat distribution and the socket’s capacity.
Its service life depends on how often it is used, how it is cleaned and stored, and how carefully the coatings are treated. Use suitable kitchen utensils, remove grease and food residue once the grill has cooled and store the appliance in a dry place. On a grill with removable plates, regularly check the seals, coating and fastenings for visible damage.
