Like microwaves, ovens and cooktops, the electric grill has joined the ranks of popular cooking methods in American homes. Most often touted for their fat-reducing health benefits, electric grills are also easy to clean and make quick work out of mealtime prep. If you’re considering purchasing an indoor electric grill, there are a few key things to keep in mind so you don’t get burned by a bad buying decision.

Foreman Leads the Pack
Previously known as the Salton Snackmaster, the indoor electric grill revolution took off when Salton brought in former heavyweight champion George Foreman to stand behind its line of contact electric grills.

Although contact electric grills were designed with hot sandwiches in mind, Salton took the cooking method a step further by showing consumers how this space-saving gadget could be used for everyday cooking as well as hot sandwiches. Consumer response was strong and 57 million George Foreman grills were snapped up quickly.

Types of Electric Grills
The advantage of contact electric grills is their dual heating surfaces which eliminates the need to turn food in order to cook it on both sides. As a result, cooking time is halved although you do need to wait for the grill to heat to the desired temperature before you start cooking.
