Are you looking for an appliance that allows you to grill many different dishes? Then a contact grill can certainly be recommended. With it, you can easily grill meat, fish, toasties, paninis, vegetables, and other dishes. You simply place the food between the contact grill and the appliance does the rest. Preparing a delicious dish has never been so easy.

Toastie grill

Do you also love a delicious toastie, but don't have the equipment at home to make one? Then choose a toastie grill from Cookinglife! When making a toastie, or another dish, the plates of the contact grill can get dirty. If you value convenience, we recommend choosing a toastie grill with removable plates, making cleaning the plates a breeze. For optimal user-friendliness, choose a contact grill with an adjustable temperature and timer. This way, you can comfortably step away from the grill without having to worry about your food burning.

Panini grill

At Cookinglife, you'll find not only contact grills for making toasties, but also panini grills. In our range, you'll find grills with a floating top lid. This allows you to prepare well-filled paninis or toasties without struggling to close the appliance. It also ensures your sandwich is grilled evenly on both sides. Many of our panini grills feature a convenient non-stick coating. This prevents your panini from burning, and also makes the plates very easy to clean. We always recommend washing the plates by hand rather than in the dishwasher. This extends the lifespan of the grill plates.

What can you do with a contact grill?

Are you interested in a contact grill but not sure exactly what you can do with the appliance? Below, we've compiled a list of dishes you can grill with a contact grill.

Toasties and paninis: as you've already read, you can make both toasties and paninis with a contact grill. If you choose a large grill, you can even make multiple toasties or paninis at once.
Meat, fish, or vegetarian: you can also easily prepare meat, fish, or vegetarian meat substitutes in a contact grill. The great thing is that you don't need to use oil or fat with a grill. When you prepare a dish in a contact grill, it will contain less fat than when prepared in a pan.
Sausage rolls: don't have an oven at home to heat up sausage rolls? Place them between the contact grill for a few minutes and you'll have a deliciously crispy sausage roll.
Pita breads: you can also prepare pita breads in just a few minutes between the grill.
Vegetables: prefer a healthier option? That's also possible with a contact grill. Place vegetables of your choice between the grill and within minutes you'll have deliciously crispy vegetables.
Use it as a table grill: finally, some contact grills can also be used as a table grill. Simply open the appliance completely flat and you can grill at the table.

What should you look for when buying a contact grill?

Are you convinced and would you like to buy a contact grill, but don't know what to look for to make the right purchase? No worries. In the overview below, you'll find a number of points to consider when purchasing a grill.

Removable grill plates: when you can remove the grill plates from the appliance, maintaining the grill is a piece of cake. You can easily clean the plates.
Interchangeable grill plates: there are grills with interchangeable plates. This way, one plate is better suited for making toasties while the other is better for grilling meat. This isn't always the case, as there are also appliances that allow you to prepare different dishes with a single plate.
Floating top plate: for preparing paninis, a floating top plate is essential. Because the plate floats, it can adapt to the food, ensuring it is heated evenly.
Number of grill settings: do you want to prepare different dishes with the same contact grill? Then we recommend choosing a grill with multiple temperature settings. Some dishes need to be prepared at a higher temperature than others.
Timer: do you value convenience? Then we recommend choosing a grill with a timer function. This way, you can comfortably step away from the appliance without having to worry about your food burning.
