Upright design for smokeless indoor grilling! Get ready for juicy chicken, meat, burgers, lamb chops, fish, veggies and more with this great slim design cooker - kinda like a vertical George Foreman. With 4 radiant heating elements you get two sided cooking that seals in juices and flavor and super fast cooking. (Cook chicken pieces in 15-20 minutes and a rib eye steak in 11-13 minutes for medium.). Invert the grill basket for narrower items like asparagus - grill basket, heat shields and drip tray are all removable for easy cleanup. Slim profile means that this workhorse doesn't take up a lot of space in your kitchen making it a practical addition to your arsenal of small kitchen appliances. Works great - I just have a husband who loves nothing more than outdoor grilling, no matter what the weather, so my loss is your gain. Ronco Cookbook included.
