The Most Popular Electric Barbecue Grill

Electric Grill BBQ's make it possible to grill year round.  Here's the low-down of each grill, based on my own views and those of other owners.

Zojirushi EB-CC15
PROS:
-The maximum setting works admirably for most grilling chores, from chicken or steak to hamburger patties, and delivers the much required customary sear marks as it cooks foods to perfection. -Little to no smoke
-Nonstick cooking surface released foods with nary a stick. The resulting meals are lower in fat and healthier.
-Very even cooking surface, no hot or cold spots, a big advantage over most other electric grills.
-Cleaning is beautifully easy because of the non-stick surface. Just brush or wipe with a damp cloth and your grill is clean. The drip tray and plastic base are dishwasher safe, but also clean easily in hot, soapy water if you wish.

CONS:
-Would be nice to have a lid.
-Not possible set an exact temperature.
-The high setting proved a little too hot for grilling delicate seafood and vegetables, as well as any foods coated in a thick barbecue sauce. So make sure you leave the heat around 3/4 throttle to cook foods like this and turn them on the grill frequently to avoid charring. -Smokes a little like the others, depending on what you are grilling.

West Bend 6111 Heart Smart
PROS:
-Includes a skillet area on the grill plate, so smaller grilling area but you have a side part to grill onions or bacon for your burgers.
-The grill piece is dishwasher safe.
-Comes with a cover which is nice.

CONS:
-Cover is relatively flat so thick meats will touch the inside of the cover.
-As with most electric grills not really smokeless... depends what you are grilling.
-Not as searing hot as it should be for thicker meats.

Sanyo HPS-SG2
PROS:
-Nice sized grilling area which is perfect for 2 people.
-120 Square inch size is not overly huge like some of the other grills.
-Non-stick grilling surface.
CONS:
-Doesn't really cook evenly. Often times, parts of a piece of meat will be virtually raw while other parts are well done.
-The grill part is coated with a non-stick material but it does get pretty dirty even if you wash it after every use. After quite a few grillings, you have to take time to carefully clean with a small brush.
-Back of the grill isn't coated so gets very stained and dark with repeated usage.
-Paint chips off the drip pan.
-Lack of a lid.

Sanyo HPS-SG3
PROS:
-Cleaning is a breese...just wipe down the hot grill with a wet papertowl and it looks like new.
-Non-stick grilling surface.
-200 Square inch grilling surface for lots of food - good for 3 to 4 people.

CONS:
- The shallow pan is a pain to dump the water after grilling.
- The heat comes from the grill itself and not from under the grill surface.
-The backside of the grill is not non-stick, so is a pain to clean up.
-Smokes a bit-As with it's smaller brother, there is no lid.
- 125 degree jump at the end of the dial makes it difficult to select temps between 300-425-Uneven cooking surface with some cold spots.
