Food comes out almost as well as if you used an outside grill. Its lid helps to hold in heat and speed up cooking while containing the smoke and cooking odors.Read More
The best of both types will grill up a burger and cook meat that tastes like summer. While you can make a mean hamburger or sirloin with flavorful browning and crusting with the equipment you already own—askillet还有一个炉子 - 您会欣赏电动烤架的多功能性。
The best electric grill we tested is theCuisinart Griddler Deluxe(可在亚马逊上找到)。It's packed with features and can be used as a contact or an open grill—and even as agriddle。If you want a less formidable model and to spend a lot less, theGeorge Foreman 4 Serving Basic Plate Grill(available at Walmart)将完成工作。
To help you spend wisely, we chose highly-rated products and used each one to toast bread, grill hamburgers, and press paninis. We then took the top performers and grilled chicken breasts and salmon filets to help us determine our favorites.

Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe
Although large and pricey, the Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe offers a lot of cooking options for your money. In addition to being used as a closed grill, the two sides open up to form two separate surfaces for those times when you want to increase the number of burgers you can grill at once from six to 12. The plates are reversible with a grill pattern on one side and a flat surface on the other. With both sides open and the flat surface in place, the Griddler Deluxe turns into a griddle, although there is a gap between the two halves that limits the number of pancakes you can cook at once. But, all in all, this is a very versatile product.
The Griddler browns quickly and evenly. Longer cooking items like paninis and chicken breasts came out crispy with beautiful grill marks. Using the high heat sear function, burgers were grilled perfectly.
You can thank George Foreman (or whoever licensed his name) for first putting the contact grill on the map. This inexpensive black plastic model isn’t particularly sexy looking but it’s relatively small and offers a no-fuss method of cooking a couple of burgers or grilled cheese sandwiches. Yes, it is called a four-serving grill, but in actuality it could only hold two 4-inch patties. While paninis weren’t quite as crusty as from some of the more expensive products, burgers, chicken, and salmon completed cooking with gorgeous grill marks. This model has only one heat setting so it’s a no-brainer to operate. With grill plates that pop out for thorough cleaning in the dishwasher, it’s an improvement over the original Foreman grill which required that you wipe down the plates. It comes with a simple removable drip tray that sits in front to catch the drippings as they fall from the slanted surface.
Hi, I'm Sharon Franke, and I’ve been reviewing kitchen equipment for more than 30 years. Before that, I womaned the grill in New York City restaurants for seven years. It’s been a long time since I lived in a house with a backyard, so an electric grill is my best bet for burgers. And as those of you who have read my other reviews know,我是酥脆的推销。如果菜单上有一个,我总是会订购烤奶酪三明治。
Breville Perfect Press很小,美丽,没有温度控制设置,并不简单。尽管它主要用于Panini,但它可以轻松处理三个汉堡或鸡胸肉。板的表面平坦,因此您没有任何烧烤痕迹,也无法将其清除以进行清洁。虽然不能在流水下冲洗它们,如果您是清洁狂热者,他们很容易擦拭干净,并卸下和重新安装盘子是不必担心的一件事。But my biggest gripe is with Breville’s "crush control" feature, which is supposed to prevent you from pressing down too hard on sandwiches, but it couldn’t adjust to evenly rest on a thick panini and as a result, the paninis I made didn’t come out evenly browned. As the plates lock together, the unit can stand up vertically when it’s not being used and there’s cord storage in the bottom which makes this product handy to store.
While you’ll ultimately get beautiful results from this grill, you do have to flip foods over and have a little patience. In our tests, it took 10 minutes to cook six burgers and 20 minutes to grill salmon. That may not sound long, but it’s more than twice the time most of the closed grills needed. Even though it doesn’t have a lid, we didn’t notice much smoking during grilling. The Zojirushi model is large and will take up quite a bit of space on the countertop, in the dishwasher, and in a cabinet or closet if you’re going to stash it away between uses.
Like the Griddler Deluxe, the Cuisinart Griddle Five is handsome and versatile. It too can be used in an open or closed position and has both grill and griddle surfaces. Smaller than the Deluxe, it can only hold four patties at once when closed or eight when open. We found it really excelled when it came to chicken and salmon, which came out looking bronzed.
What holds us back from recommending this model wholeheartedly is that at higher temperatures and longer cooking times, the edges of its handle get quite hot. Although it wasn’t hot enough to burn us, it was a cause for some concern.
On the Black and Decker 3-in-1 Grill Griddle and Waffle Maker, you get cooking plates that can be reversed from a flat side to a waffle side so it really is like getting two appliances in one. It does a nice job of browning burgers and grilling cheese sandwiches, but we didn’t test it with chicken and fish because the small handle becomes too hot to touch after cooking. With the Black and Decker, you don’t get a drip pan and have to put a small bowl underneath the drip spout at one corner to prevent a messy countertop. Dishwasher cleaning isn’t recommended. On the upside, Black and Decker hardware can be found almost everywhere, so there's a good chance that, should you prefer to shop in local stores over online outlets, you'll be able to pick one up without too much trouble.
