Overview

A home kitchen counter gets an indoor contact grill that presses paninis, cooks burgers and sears steaks, then opens flat into a wide grill and griddle. Each plate has its own electronic temperature control, and the ceramic plates reverse between grill and griddle sides.

Breville makes it flexible: independent plate temperatures let different foods cook side by side in BBQ mode, and the plates go in the dishwasher. Waffle plates are sold separately, and warranty terms differ between the bullets and the specs.

Who it's for

Home cooks who want a panini press, burger grill and griddle in one appliance get wide flexibility. Anyone shopping for an outdoor grill should note this is an indoor electric unit despite the product style label.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Opens flat into a large griddle
  • Independent plate temperatures
  • Reversible ceramic plates
  • Removable drip tray
Cons
  • Waffle plates sold separately
  • Warranty length differs in the listing
  • Bulky to store

Performance notes

Ceramic plates run hotter for more browning and crust, and each side heats to its own setting. Presets set the grill for paninis, burgers or searing in one touch. The drip tray catches fat in both contact and open modes.
