Why You'll Love Your Electric Grill Plate

There are so many amazing reasons to get yourself an electric grill plate. While firing up the BBQ is a fun way to cook lunches and dinner, it can take a while to set up, can make a mess and can be tricky to clean up afterwards.

Electric grills don't take up much space on your benchtop, making them easy to store away when you don't need them. Once plugged in they heat up quickly and evenly, giving you a very hot, non-stick surface to sizzle your food on.

Some grill plates also have a raised surface like a full bbq grill, giving you those delicious, attractive char lines on your meat, veg and bread.

Electric Grills FAQ

How to clean an electric grill

While they are easy to clean, there are a few rules you need to follow when cleaning an electric bbq grill. Firstly, never immerse your electric grill fully in water - instead, wipe down the plate with a damp cloth to dislodge any pieces of stuck-on food.

If you have food that is really stuck onto your plate, never use steel wool to scratch it off, as you will damage the non-stick plate. Instead, apply a mixture of baking soda and water to lift the stain. When you want to start cleaning your electric grill plate, always ensure it is unplugged and has completely cooled down before you begin.

What foods should I avoid cooking on an electric BBQ grill?

While most meats, fruits and vegetables fare well on an electric grill plate, there are some you should avoid. Delicate shellfish like oysters and low-fat meats like pork chops can become tough, dry and rubbery when cooked on an electric bbq grill, while delicate fish fillets can fall apart easily.

While making a grilled cheese sandwich is one of the best things to do on an electric grill plate, you need to make sure any oozy elements don't make their way off the plate and into the inner workings of the grill.

What tools and accessories should I have when using an electric grill?

There are a few key tools that will help you cook effectively on an electric grill plate! You'll want a flat, plastic or silicone spatula or tongs to help you flip over foods. Avoid metal tools, as they can scratch the non-stick coating.

You might also want to have a meat thermometer on hand if you are cooking thick proteins on your grill, as it will help you ensure your meat is fully cooked through.
