The Advantage of Electric Grilling

Traditional charcoal and gas grills come in a variety of designs and styles, from large multi-burner gas barbecues with built-in islands, to charcoal grills that resemble barrels, but can prove to be too big and intimidating or too cumbersome for aspiring outdoor cooks. Although gas grills are useful, there are some who are uncomfortable and even dangerous to cook using propane. Grills made of charcoal, although less intimidating, require a lot of time to prepare and light and may be dirty to clean following the cooking. Furthermore, some condos and apartments ban the charcoal or propane grills completely.

Electric grills alleviate all of these concerns by incorporating instant-on controls, easy-to-clean designs, and there’s no unpleasant gas smell or dirty charcoal to hinder the enjoyment of cooking.

Familiar, Easy-to-Use Controls

The grilling process starts with the simplest fuel source available–a basic cord and outlet, along with an electrical probe that is removable and has a an adjustable knob that works exactly like the knobs found for most stoves in the kitchen. For the first step, connect the probe to the grill’s front and turn the knob until “Max.” Within 5 minutes the heating element will begin to glow a warm red, and the grill is ready to cook. When you’re done cooking, the knob will turn off with ease. Cleaning up couldn’t be any easier since the porcelain grill grate can be cleaned using a standard grill brush, or is removed to wash outdoors or indoor sink.
