Charbroil Bistro Pro™ Electric Grill & Griddle + Charcoal Mode, Black

The Charbroil Bistro Electric Charcoal Grill with Griddle I originally had the Bistro Electric basic model several years ago....Charbroil has improved this line of product greatly. If you live in a condo, villas, apartment or other grill code restricted area...this is a must have! The grill is electric with a charcoal option that is easy-to-use. The grill comes with a Stainless steel griddle that is conveniently stored underneath the business part of the grill. The great thing is you may take apart the entire top portion of the grill, except the infrared coil, rinse in your sink and then place grate and all into your dishwasher. All of the parts are stainless steel some have a ceramic type coating but are dishwasher safe. To add life to your grill be sure to purchase a grill cover that fits to keep dust and the elements off your Bistro. Now to the cooking part. I always Preheat the grill at level 5 setting being sure to have any other baskets, trays or the griddle preheating as well. Use a preferred cooking spray that can be used at high temperatures for all your accessories including the grill grate this makes cleanup tons easier. Once grill is preheated turn it off and quickly spray grate or accessories you will be using with cooking spray then close grill turn back on (this will minimize any flare-up that may occur). Now adjust temperature to the desired temp. There are excellent cooking guides at Charbroil.com plus you may want to register your grill for parts later on. Overall this beast is totally cool! And remember keep the lid CLOSED while cooking, a kettle grill requires the lid to be closed for proper airflow. Happy Grilling Everyone!
