Top 10 Electric Portable Grills
for September 2023

The SEAAN Electric Hot Pot Grill Detachable Barbecue Grill Indoor Hot Pot with Large Capacity Portable Multifunctional Non-Stick BBQ Pan with Adjustable Temperature Double Flavor Hot Pot 110V is a decent product that works well, but it falls short in a few critical areas. The electric hot pot is cheap, but it's made of cheap materials that feel flimsy. And the detachable design takes up too much room, so it's less than ideal for placing on a kitchen countertop. The hot pot's capacity is also much too small, so it won't hold enough food for 8 people. The hot pot's temperature control system is unreliable. The temperature range is too wide, and it's inconsistent. For example, you turn the heat up to 400°F, but the hot pot only reaches 360°F. The hot pot's timer is also terrible. The timer is inaccurate, and it doesn't have a Pause button. So if you forget to turn it off, the hot pot will keep cooking for 10 minutes.

This grill is surprising easy to use. It comes with four removable and non-stick plates, and it's large enough to accommodate steaks, burgers, chicken, fish, vegetables, and other items. The grill plates heat fast, and the heat distributes evenly across the surface. We also liked that this grill has temperature settings, so you can adjust it for different foods. The grill also features a turbo smoke extractor, which senses when the grill is at temperature, and begins extracting smoke before your food is cooked. The grill is also easy to clean, and it's dishwasher safe. The turbo smoke extractor also helps to cut down on smoke, so you shouldn't need to worry about setting off the smoke alarm. The grill's temperature is monitored by two LED indicator lights, so you can tell at a glance how hot the grill is.

The Cusimax electric raclette grill is easy to set up and works beautifully. It's light (only 11 pounds), so it's easy to move around, and its reversible griddle features grooves for perfect raclette grilling marks. Plus, both the front and back of the grill are nonstick, so cleanup is quick and easy. The griddle is also adjustable, so it's easy to use with different-sized pots and pans. Overall, the Cusimax 1500W grill is one of our favorite electric raclette grills. It offers great heat control, temperatures can be adjusted from 200°F to 500°F, the nonstick griddle is easy to clean, and it's lightweight, so it's easy to move around. The only drawback is the price. This grill costs about as much as a gas grill, but it doesn't have the convenience of a gas or charcoal grill.

The Smokeless Electric Grill is a decent tabletop grill, but it's far from perfect. Its large cooking surface is great for grilling steaks and chops. The griddle grill plate is a nice touch, and the grill's temperature controller is responsive, so you can easily cook your food to your preferred doneness. However, the grill isn't as versatile as other options we tested. The griddle grill plate isn't long enough for full-size sandwiches and paninis, and the grill's food-catching spatula is too short to be of much use. The grill's drip tray is too narrow, and there's not much room for food to drip out. The grill's temperature control is responsive, but it's finicky: It takes a while for the grill to heat up, and it's slow to return the temperature to where you left it. The grill's fan isn't very powerful, so the grill takes longer to cook food placed near the base. The grill's nonstick surface isn't as durable as we'd like, and it's dishwasher-safe, but the accessories are also dishwasher-safe, so cleaning the grill isn't too difficult. We also found the grill's temperature controller to be a bit temperamental.

The Nonstick Electric Indoor Smokeless Grill is affordable, versatile, easy to use, and, most important, it works. It grills meat, fish, and seafood, and, thanks to its adjustable thermostat, it can easily cook different types of food. Unlike some grills that have hot plates or heating elements that only reach 400°F, the Nonstick Electric Indoor Smokeless Grill can reach 700°F, which is ideal for searing meats or baking bread. It has a 16-inch square grill surface, and it grills more food at once than most other grills. The grill heats up quickly, and it stays at that temperature, even when we adjusted the temperature to 500°F, which is ideal for baking bread. The grill's 1000W heating element is powerful enough to cook burgers and roast burgers, and it has an anti-flare design to prevent sparks. The grill's handle is ergonomic, and it folds, making it easy to store. The grill's drip tray is nonstick, and it's easy to remove and clean.

The BRAVADEX Raclette Table Grill is a cool-looking, easy-to-use raclette grill, and it's perfect for small gatherings. It does a good job of melting cheese, making it easy to control the amount and consistency of the cheese, and the temperature control makes it easy to adjust the temperature. The cooking surface is nonstick, so cleanup is quick and easy, and it's easy to remove the surface plate for washing. The broiling function works as advertised, and the unit comes with a set of six mini cheese melters, which work as advertised, too. It's a fantastic buy for the price, and it's fun to use, too.

Mirsmo electric skillet is an elegant small electric skillet with solid build and high-quality materials. The skillet has an 800W power, which provides quick heating, and its dual power control allows cooking at low heat or high. The skillet's interior is non-stick, which allows food to release easily from the skillet, making clean up a breeze. The skillet has a nice heat-resistant handle, which stays cool during use, and its non-slip feet make it slide-proof when used on a countertop or dining table. The skillet's non-stick surface can handle a lot of cooking tasks, from frying steak to sauting vegetables, and you can use it for preparing shabu-shabu, too. The product comes with a one-year warranty, and the manufacturer's customer service was helpful and responsive. The biggest drawback is the size of the skillet's cooking surface, which is only 1.5L. For cooking larger meals, you would need more than one skillet.

The Leurex electric teppanyaki grill was our top choice because of its wide, nonstick surface plate, nonstick drip tray, and easy-to-use, adjustable temperature settings, which are essential when cooking for a crowd. The grill's nonstick surface plate is so large that it can accommodate whole chickens, fish, and huge steaks, and its drip tray collects oils and grease, allowing you to use a nonstick spray or brush on the grill without making a mess. The grill is also easy to clean, thanks to the drip tray and nonstick surface plate, and it's great for indoor use, too, since it's cordless. The grill also offers five temperature settings, so you can achieve the perfect consistency for dishes, from delicate eggs to flaky fish to juicy steaks. The grill's handles and feet are insulated, so you won't burn yourself when transporting it from one location to another. The grill's nonstick drip tray and surface plate are removable, so you can easily clean your grill without using any harsh chemicals or scrubbing pads. The grill's surface is nonstick, so it's also a great option for cooking without oil or grease, making it a healthier option than a traditional grill.

The Aroma Housewares ASP-218B 4-Quart Indoor Grill is compact, versatile, and easy to use. It heats up quickly, and the soup and stew recipes included on the manual are tasty, if a bit fussy. However, the directions lack detail, and the recipes are too complicated to follow without referring to the manual. The grill grates are removable and dishwasher-safe, but the pot itself is not, so you'll have to get your hands a little messy to clean it. The lid also is dishwasher-safe, so cleaning is easy. The grill grates are large and nonstick, so your food slides easily between them. The grill has good temperature control, and the pot has a removable lid and handle that allow it to be used not only as a grill, but also as a saucepan and a stockpot.

The Aroma Housewares ASP-218B 4-Quart Indoor Grill cooks food quickly and evenly, and it's easy to use. It's a convenient, portable, and versatile indoor grill that heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and is easy to clean.

The Aliyoham 2-in-1 electric grill was our top pick for barbecues because of its versatility and ease of use, and we found it to be a well-made, versatile grill that performed very well. The nonstick surface makes cleaning the grill a breeze, and the grill is large enough to accommodate several pieces of meat at once. Its temperature control dial is large and easy to read, and the grill features a low, medium, and high setting, which is especially helpful if you're cooking meat. And the adjustable thermostat makes it easy to set the temperature. The grill's stand is removable, so it's portable, and it's light enough that it can be easily carried in one hand, which is nice. And thanks to its low price tag, the grill is an affordable option for anyone looking for a grill that's easy to set up and can be used indoors and outdoors.
