      What are my options for electric BBQ and grilling?

      Electric outdoor grills and BBQs come in many varieties and offer plenty of benefits, without sacrificing the joy of outdoor cooking.

      Options for Electric Outdoor Grills
      1. Open grills: These resemble traditional outdoor grills and are ideal for cooking a variety of foods, including large cuts of meat and oddly shaped vegetables.
      2. Contact grills: These have top and bottom heating plates that press against the food, allowing for faster cooking and better heat distribution.
      3. Freestanding grills: Perfect for regular backyard cookouts, these grills often come with wheels for easy repositioning.
      4. Portable grills: You can easily transport compact models to use in different locations. Great for traveling and spontaneity!
