Art super, misses target?

To make it short: the table grill delivers what it promises - is only the question whether that promise a sufficient.

The non-stick coating is really good - so good that my sausages were almost geflutscht a few times from the grill, and the corn on the cob are like sliding down times due to the slope.

The plate is relatively hot quickly, and responds to changes on the controller also relatively promptly. Rein felt I had, however, already turn up very far in order to achieve the desired grill power. Much more 1600 Watts One can probably not expect at home from an open appliance.

The dripping pan is actually a clever idea. The fat passes from the side, and accumulates there in a small box that can be cleaned relatively well. For this, the heating surface is disposed at a slight angle. Told how to bring the meat oblique enough to slip and balls, but at least in the experiment on himself not to let the fat drain obliquely enough to properly clean. At the end of grilling was to be found on the grill definitely significantly more fat than in the grease pan.

The perhaps most important for me and durchschlagendste point: the grill is actually dishwasher safe. Although fit in my narrow 60s dishwasher below anything else in, but he can be cleaned in one piece. The thermostat can be pulled off, and is connected by very generous grossly oversized connections. That there similar moisture shorts, rust can lead to problems, is almost excluded. The grill surface is so then hygienically clean, just drain and dry when you need to still help out a little.

By that I am faced with a dilemma. The grill does exactly what it advertises, it is technically neatly designed and very robust ... he will probably bring in the "electric griddle" so much out how this is possible today. But what of the taste?

Grilling is not the same as fry. Actually, this is not a grill here, but an "open-air frying pan". A grill cooks food with hot air, and allows the fat to drip freely. My old table grill (which is no longer in production), this has achieved through a water bath and heating elements, but got away with it quite clear to its performance limits. The crucial question is: how much can you expect from an electric grill at all? On the other hand Teppanyaki Barbecue is precisely modern, maybe just my idea of ​​grilling has become obsolete?

Who just wants to fry on the balcony a few schnitzel is served perfectly with the table grill. He has a fairly compact design, it is well made, easy to clean and very simple to use. But he can with an ordinary gas or coal grill of course by far not keep up, but compared to other electric grills quite expensive. Since its implicit promise of an ordinary fat process works only half, I give the Grill four stars, and draw me in thought half a star off again.
