After years of grilling with charcoal and gas I had decided for two main reasons for an e-Grill: on the one hand it is more environmentally friendly (in our case is completely grilled with eigenerzeugtem solar power without generating a single gram of CO2 or particulate matter), on the other hand because it is more practical (spontaneous barbecues without long preparation). All this works perfectly. The build quality is excellent, and the device is on the whole gastronomy quality, except for the cleaning. The device would be practically perfect if the grill plates for flushing would be removed. Unfortunately, they are not, and to clean the appliance is an ordeal. Especially in the professional field but a quick and easy cleaning would (simply: dishwasher suitable detachable contact plates) an absolute must. It also affected by the fact that numerous gastronomic Contact Grille apparently not offer this possibility. The grill can be simply not clean - recommended in the manual "scraping" with the supplied wire brush away only the coarsest dirt, and also (wear apron!) The only incompletely and with a time-consuming and Fettgespritze. Ultimately always kokelt in this type Grill the old cooking fat to himself and produces mixed with the respective grilled foods a cocktail of chemical substances on the one hand affect the taste, and highly likely to be harmful to others, bringing the benefits of the supposedly healthier grilling lapsed. After a few times Grilling Grill developed by the non-removable sticky residue from vegetable oil and food residues unpleasant smelling smoke. In my view, this type of grill is therefore simply unusable. If that is normal in restaurants is something amiss. Unfortunately, because of the all dominant negative cleaning aspect is now just a - in my Amazon review history unprecedented - demotion from the original 4 to 1 star. The fabric is of little use if the device is simply not practicable and turned out to be more expensive housewives and men nightmare. We have gained additional further contact grill that has removable plates and despite Chinese "lightweight construction" also neatly grilling in trouble cleaning: for 35 euros from the supermarket.
