Indoor Grills

It's like having a barbecue  indoors without the horrifying side effects generally associated with open flames and hot coals in a confined space. An indoor grill allows you to cook food quickly, drain some of the fat  from the meat you're grilling, and even get those lovely grill lines in just the right places that make everything taste better. A lot of flat-dwellers might find these products helpful, because they are compact and often easily cleaned; they also allow people in small places to grill food inside, out of inclement weather, even in winter. A lot of people also associate indoor grills with health benefits, since many sport the option to drain off the 'bad stuff' from whatever is being cooked. Indoor grills are also very convenient, since they run on electricity, and many cook food on two sides instead of one, therefore everything cooks much faster.  

What to Look For

There are two basic formats for indoor grills: contact grills and open grills. An open grill has a glass top, while a contact grill has a second grill for a lid. Many grills run on electricity, but a few can be powered by propane. It depends what you will be cooking, and what you want out of the product. Open options work better for vegetables and unevenly shaped foods, as well as thicker meats, whereas contact grills work well on evenly cut foods and cook much quicker because of the heat being distributed from top and bottom. Some contact models also come with removable grilling plates for different cooking projects, and many also work for sandwiches.
