The countertop appliance can function as a deep-dish pizza oven, a six-pocket quesadilla press, an omelet maker, or a pancake griddle–simply switch out the plates. Five come included: two ribbed grill plates, two quesadilla plates, and a 1-inch deep-dish plate for pizzas, griddling, baking, and more. The appliance’s appeal lies not only in its simplicity and countertop convenience, but also in its fat-fighting ability. The cooking surface can be adjusted from flat to angled in order to help channel fat away from food and into the built-in drip tray. Even more, its triple nonstick coating allows for low-fat cooking while ensuring effortless food release. The unit also provides adjustable temperature control, a “ready” indicator light, and a 1-1/2-inch floating hinge to accommodate thicker sandwiches or steaks. Other highlights include embedded heating elements for consistent heat and rapid recovery time, an extended metal loop handle for raising and lowering the lid, cool-touch side handles, and a spatula for transferring food from the grill to a plate. To clean, simply wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and put the removable plates in the dishwasher.
