An electric table grill makes grilling easy without charcoal, gas bottles or lengthy preparation. However, not every model is suitable for every kitchen, balcony or household. A small grill can quickly feel too cramped when entertaining, while a large appliance may be awkward to use in a compact kitchen.
So don’t just look at wattage or an appealing product name. The key differences lie in the grilling surface, temperature control, cleaning and intended use.
A higher wattage can help an appliance heat up faster, but it does not determine cooking performance on its own. The thickness of the plate, heat distribution and surface area also play a part. A 2,000-watt grill is not automatically more practical than a 1,360-watt model.
Look at how you intend to use it overall:
A grill with a non-stick coating can make it easier to remove food, but the coating needs careful handling. Metal spatulas, knives and scouring pads can damage the surface. Also check whether the plate is removable and whether the manufacturer says it is dishwasher-safe.
A grill plate with a grease collection tray is practical when cooking meat, bacon and marinated ingredients. Check that the tray is large enough and easy to remove. With some models, you need to drain the grease manually while grilling.
A product that is technically portable is not automatically suitable for use in the rain or in an enclosed space. Check the instructions and always place an electric barbecue on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Outdoors, protection from moisture is essential. Indoors, good ventilation and sufficient distance from curtains, kitchen cupboards and other flammable materials are important.
For one or two people, a compact plate of around 28 x 20 cm is often sufficient. A size of approximately 40 x 36 cm provides more space for a family or a small gathering. Extra-long teppanyaki plates are useful when several people are cooking at the table at the same time, but they also require more storage space.
Don’t just rely on the stated number of people. For example, a manufacturer may specify how many burgers will fit, while larger pieces of meat or vegetables require more room.
A grill with an adjustable thermostat gives you more control than a model that only switches on and off. Five settings are practical for different ingredients. A continuously variable thermostat allows even finer adjustment, but it is not automatically easier to operate.
A teppanyaki grill with a smooth surface is suitable for eggs, vegetables, fish and thin slices of meat. A ridged section can create attractive grill marks. A combination of both surfaces is useful if you want to use several cooking methods.
If the product information says PFAS-free grill, check that this is actually stated in the product specifications or the brand’s documentation. The Fritel GT 1075 and GT 1375 are described as PFAS-free in their product information. Even with these models, use only soft, suitable kitchen tools and follow the cleaning instructions.
A claim about a coating or cooking result should be understood as a product feature or brand statement, not as a guarantee of a particular cooking result. A brand’s own research may, for example, present performance differently from how the product performs in everyday use.
Why it suits this profile: This compact model is designed for 1 to 2 people and takes up relatively little space with its 28 x 20 cm plate.

That depends on the model and the instructions. A model designed for indoor use must be placed on a heat-resistant surface with adequate ventilation. An electric barbecue designed for outdoor use is not automatically suitable for use indoors.
Consumption depends on the wattage and how long the appliance is used. In theory, a 2,000-watt appliance uses 2 kWh when it operates continuously at full power for one hour. In practice, the thermostat regularly reduces the power. Check your energy tariff and usage time for a personalised calculation.
Its lifespan depends on use, storage and maintenance. A damaged non-stick coating, faulty cable or malfunctioning thermostat are signs that you should stop using the appliance. Store the grill in a dry place, follow the cleaning instructions and do not use metal accessories.
