Going in for a grill?

The best electric grills offer consumers a solid barbeque experience without the hassle of heavy smoke and charcoal. Current products fall into two categories: contact and open grills. The difference: Contact grills cook items between two hot plates, expediting prep time since users don't have to flip foods. Open grills, on the other hand, only have one hot surface, so cooking time can take longer. Additionally, some contact grills can be used as open grills or griddles. One last piece of info: Open grills emit more smoke--an appealing trait, say many users, since this naturally infuses cooked foods with a more smoky, barbecued flavor.
