The Contact Grill: crispier, faster, and tastier grilling at home

Imagine: a delicious grilled panini, a juicy hamburger, or perfectly cooked vegetables, ready in less than five minutes. With a Chefino contact grill, that's an everyday reality. The contact grill is one of the most practical and versatile kitchen appliances you can own.

 

What is a contact grill?

 

A contact grill is an electric appliance with two heated grill plates that grill food from both sides simultaneously. This ensures quick and even cooking with those typical grill marks and a delicious, smoky flavour. Think of the well-known sandwich presses, but much more powerful and versatile.

 

What do you use a contact grill for?

 

The possibilities are almost endless. Paninis, wraps, and grilled sandwiches are the classics, but you can also prepare meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, and even fruit on the contact grill. The high temperature creates a crispy crust on the outside, while the inside remains juicy and tender.

 

Advantages of grilling on a contact grill

 

Speed is perhaps the biggest advantage. Because both sides are grilled simultaneously, the cooking time is up to twice as short as with a regular pan. Moreover, you don't need extra oil or butter, making grilling on a contact grill a lot healthier. The fat from the food drains away through the grill marks. Cleaning up is also a breeze: most grill plates are removable and dishwasher-safe.

 

What should you look for when buying?

 

When choosing a contact grill, there are a few important aspects. The size of the grill plate is essential: a larger surface means you can prepare more at once. Also, pay attention to the maximum temperature, which should preferably be at least 200°C for optimal grilling results. An adjustable thermostat gives you more control over the cooking. Finally, interchangeable grill plates are very convenient: with different plate options, you can also bake waffles or make pancakes in addition to grilling.
