The grilled food looks and smells great even though it’s on your countertop instead of your patio. This is a function I find myself using almost exclusively when grilling steaks, and pork chops. Having the ability to grill with the hood open also simulates more of the outdoor grilling experience. In addition to the even heat distribution, the electrical heating allows for faster surface temperature recovery time when cooking multiple steaks, fish filets, burgers, etc. The new electrically heated grill grate, which plugs into the unit via electrical connectors on the bottom of the grill grate, provides a more evenly heated cooking surface. The hood still circulates heat of course, making use of a fan that’s covered by a removable and washable screen that significantly reduces smoke. First, the grill surface itself is now heated electrically as opposed to only via hot air from the unit’s hood.
