Thanks to the innovative Cerastone coating on both of the plates, you can cook almost totally without oil. The top-plate has been hinged to allow thick cuts of steak, chicken breasts & fish fillets easily. The hinged top-plate also makes this ideal for toasting thick sandwiches. There is a built in drip tray to collect all of the oil preventing your food from sitting in the oil when cooking, this is a much healthier way of cooking. The wide grill ensures cooking for 4 people is incredibly easy & the 1000w of cooking power means that all of your food will be cooked evenly. Both of the places lock together when not in use which means that you can store vertically, perfect for saving space.
