Unlike other indoor grills that are slow to heat and rarely reach optimal grilling temperature, this electric convection grill reaches 400° F; in less than seven minutes with a maximum temperature of 500° F, and its surface sears, roasts, bakes, and grills as effectively as a traditional charcoal or gas grill. Also suitable for balconies or other sheltered outdoor use, the grill has an attached temperature probe to monitor food's progress; visual and audible alerts let you know when meats have reached the preselected level from rare to well-done. The gently sloped hood traps and disperses heat for even and thorough convection grilling, and the easily-cleaned aluminum searing plates efficiently distribute heat without the temperature fluctuations common to lesser grills. The unit allows for a wide range of personalized cooking techniques as the user can conveniently alternate between searing and baking using the easy-to-read dial. The stainless-steel exterior is rust- and tarnish-proof, and the entire unit is light enough to be moved from kitchen to patio with ease. 9 1/2" H x 20 1/2" W x 18" D. (25 lbs.)
