this plancha has an adjustable thermostat from 1 to 5. To cook kebabs, it must be put to 5, and within minutes the skewers are browned and cooked through. Also as it is in the middle of the table, it is very user friendly, and you can even rely on baking the pepper and onion that are never cooked enough on a conventional barbecue. more time with the wrong current, conventional barbecues are not in order, so that electric griddle is placed on the table regardless of the time. I even considered taking her to the summer holidays, because often there is no barbecue, grilling and we lack on vacation !!! Little more, cleaning is simplified, hob dishwasher safe, and the fat drip tray. A little bit of wet sponge on the rest and hop in the box! In conclusion, very convenient to purchase an affordable price, and ease of cleaning, I recommend !!!
