Cooking great snacks doesn't need to mean firing up your stove or oven. Our range of small kitchen appliances is ideal for fast and economical cooking of casual meals, using the versatility of an electric griddle or panini press to give you a wealth of delicious options to explore.
Why Cook with an Electric Indoor Griddle?
An indoor grill brings all the flavor and sizzle of the BBQ into your home and makes a convenient alternative to a full kitchen grill or traditional griddle pan. Our electric griddle collection features models perfectly suited for searing steaks and veggies. They are built to compact dimensions that save space on the countertop and can be used directly at the dining table.
What to Look for in an Indoor Griddle
Any indoor griddle can deliver excellent results when used with care, but for the best cooking experience, there are several important extra features to look for:
- High cooking temperatures of up to 450F, providing quick searing and chargrilled flavor.
- Switchable hotplates to create smooth or ridged grilling patterns.
- Non-stick or cast-iron surfaces for oil-free cooking and easy cleaning.
- Smoke extraction fans and other technologies to reduce indoor odors.
- Snug-fitting lids to raise the cooking temperature while avoiding spits and splashes.
- Digital temperature controls for fast and accurate cooking.
Our Sandwich Maker and Panini Press Range
Our sandwich maker and panini press collection can turn even the simplest set of larder contents into a quick and tasty snack. Our sandwich makers are ideal for grilled cheese and other ingredients, turning out hot toasted sandwiches in a matter of minutes. What's more, sandwich makers are conveniently compact and can be stored easily out of the way when not in use.
Alternatively, a panini press is a much more solidly built device that's usually a permanent feature in a kitchen. Made up of two hot plates with a hinge that adjusts in height, a panini press can handle thicker sandwiches containing more ingredients, creating refined results that suit a main meal just as well as a snack.
Healthier Cooking Options with George Foreman Grills
George Foreman grills are perhaps the best-known models in modern kitchens, providing all the benefits of a regular indoor grill but delivering results that are lower in fat than most other designs. The griddle pan is placed at a slight angle and includes drainage slots to carry grease away as you cook. The upshot is the fast cooking of tender meat or succulent vegetables with lower cholesterol levels and fewer calories.
Foreman grills can also be used for low-fat cooking of fried eggs, pressed sandwiches, frozen pizzas and even potato wedges, making them a valuable addition to any smaller kitchen.
