10 Best Electric Grills 2024 | UK Chef Reviewed

It would almost be blasphemous to not include a George Foreman model as our number 1 product! While many of the other products we've recommended have newer technical features, this machine keeps it old school. It holds a generous amount of food and has a convenient clip-in drip tray that's quick to clean. 

The adjustable feet at the back of the product allow you to angle it to get a better view of what you're cooking (and encourages the drainage of excess fat too). Plus, at less than £50, it's an absolute bargain for the quality. This is truly the standard by which all other electric grills are measured!

With plenty of space and a respectable high wattage, dinner for the whole family will be ready in no time with this grill by Quest. The adjustable thermostat allows you to cook your food just the way you like it, and the non-stick surface means cleaning up shouldn't be too tricky either.

We especially love that this grill has a detachable cord, meaning you can take it straight to the table and everyone can dig in without having to plate up their meal first!

This fantastic product by Tefal has such a depth of knowledge that you'll wonder if there's secretly a sous chef inside! You can put a slab of meat in and the machine will calculate the thickness and measurements, plus it'll set the cooking time accordingly. You might as well hang up your apron now and let it do all the work!

To keep you in the loop, there's an LED indicator that changes colour as the food progresses through the different cooking stages - and it'll beep too in case you're not paying attention!

This cleverly designed grill is perfect for both inside and outside dining, thanks to its collapsible nature. It has one of the largest grill sizes on our list too, so it'll comfortably feed a family or a couple of guests. 

It has all the additional features that you could wish for, like removable plates and an adjustable temperature gauge. Most importantly, this product has a superb build quality, which shouldn't be surprising considering the manufacturer's reputation. 

If you've ever wanted to whip up a takeaway at home, here's your chance! Something to be aware of is the grill size, which is expressed in terms of capacity rather than cm² for upright models. This Quest Rotissier has a 21L capacity, which you can either use for one single item or up to seven different skewers.

This machine cooks for up to one hour at a time and has a glass sliding door that enables users to observe how their food is getting on without opening it and letting the heat out - always a handy feature if you ask us!

Our favourite thing about this electric grill is the fact that it's designed specifically for use at your dining room table. Perfect for when you want pancakes for breakfast with the family or a dinner party with friends! Furthermore, the machine heats up very quickly and will keep food warm until you're ready to eat.

One thing worth mentioning though is that the wattage isn't mentioned by the manufacturer, so while this product should be suitable for toasties and burgers, it might not go high enough to sear tougher food like steak.

This versatile electric number allows you to prepare several different foods, all from one station. Pop sausages and bacon on the clamshell grill while you cook eggs and tomatoes on the flat griddle. Each area has an independent set of temperature controls too, so you'll be able to cook every part of breakfast with ease. 

Whilst the packaging claims that this grill is big enough to prepare a whopping 10 portions, we sadly don't think this is the case - unless you only want to eat a miniscule meal!

We all know the British weather can't be trusted, making this tabletop BBQ grill perfect for our shores! This cooking appliance eliminates up to 80% of smoke - so even if it starts to rain, you can slip inside and carry on cooking without setting the kitchen smoke alarm off.

Moreover, there are three different temperature controls to allow for precise and even cooking. While the removable plates are generally easy to clean, it can be difficult to get into the crevices if they get really dirty - luckily, they're dishwasher-proof!

Heston Blumenthal has been busy recently producing kitchen appliances, including this Smart Grill Pro. It comes with a range of modes suitable for different meats and vegetables, which means less work for you but plenty of deliciousness!

This device also has one feature that no other grill on our list has: an integrated probe that allows you to check the internal temperature of your food. The only downside is this product's high price, but if you can afford to splash out then we're sure you'll be more than happy with your purchase!

Our first pick is this tabletop electric grill with enough space to feed 8 people. It has two distinct cooking areas: one consisting of a large open area which is ideal for grilling the main course, and then separate sections underneath which you can cook a variety of side dishes on.

Furthermore, it has a temperature dial which gives you complete control of the heat. Unfortunately though, the non-stick coating can be rather delicate - so be extra careful when cleaning!
