The best indoor electric grills 2011 are a good example of what excellent indoor grilling can be like - easy, versatile and a great solution when the weather is not right for cooking outdoors. A number of these grills have multiple features which make them not only great for grilling purposes, but for other types of food preparation as well.
For 2011 - from the top 10 indoor electric grills - here are a few of the most popular models:
Cuisinart GR-4N Indoor Grill - This grill features knobs on the front to control the temperature in certain areas and has the ability to be a full grill, a full griddle or half and half. It can also function as a Panini press which adjusts to the thickness of food to cook optimally. This is an incredibly popular grill - not only appearing to be the most popular by sales but has received quite a large number of positive consumer reviews. Retail price for this grill is around 5.00.
Black and Decker G48TD Indoor Grill - This grill has three basic uses - a grill, waffle maker and a griddle. It can make up to 4 waffles at once, also is a great way to grill sandwiches (both sides). This grill can wipe clean easily as well, making for added convenience. Retail price on this grill is around .00.
George Foreman GR10B Grill - This is one of the better known grills in the lineup this year, also having rave reviews from those who use it. It has a patented technology to reduce fats in food while cooking. The size of this grill is what is called "personal" - having enough space to cook two hamburgers at once, with 36 square inches of cooking space. If one is looking for a grill to cook for an entire family, perhaps a different model would be a better choice - but if one is cooking for one or two people, this would probably work very well. Retail price for this grill is around .00.
Sanyo HPS-SG3 Indoor Grill - For those looking for an indoor barbeque grill, this is an excellent choice. It has a larger cooking surface than many other indoor grills (200 square inches), and while it is known to cook up meats and fish like a champ, its "smokeless" capability keeps added smoke down. This is a great solution to grilling up a steak, hot dogs or some burgers on a cold or wet day. Retail price for this grill is around .00.
George Foreman GRP4 Next Grilleration - This is a great indoor grill for those looking for something with a bit more space for cooking. It has 72 square inches, allowing cooking for about 3 servings of food at the same time. This model from George Foreman has removable plates adding versatility and an easy cleanup too. Retail price for this grill is around .00.
Other choices on the list of the best indoor electric grills 2011 include even more advanced and versatile or compact and personal appliances from Cuisinart, George Foreman and Sanyo. In terms of shopping for any of them, I have found that it is much more cost efficient to buy them online - they often can be purchased for a significant discount and sometimes even with free shipping.
