Very uniform heat generation, both as a contact grill (that collapsed) and open (double grilling surface) getting good results. Plates can refer to can be cleaned in the dishwasher (earnings but not as good) or "conventional". Disks can be reversed: Then the whole thing is a waffle iron; However, we have never tried.
To use
The three options are: open (large grill surface, heat from below), fixed distance he griddles (yes 5 cm), for example to tomatoes from above and a barbecue down at the same time, contact grill (shell lies on the barbecue food, ie contact grill) for the usual grilled food (vegetables, sausages, steaks, pork).
Setting:
The temperature selector is (continuously) of 1 to 5. After initial failed attempts, I have never used more than level 3. So there are also reserves for "difficult cases Grill" available.
Satisfaction:
For barbecue activities for 3 to 6 people in the grill is ideally suited for larger Essgemeinschaften it is advisable to use the grill open, then you have to turn the food but at least 1x ;-)
In short, I am completely satisfied with the grill. The fact that the grill Steba after more than 10 years has still unchanged (except for a few small vents) in the program suggests that there are still more people goes like this.
The grill is - admittedly - not very stylish - but who just want to grilling so that will be well served.
