Electric grills are safe, cook evenly, clean up easily, and are perfect for families or those in constrained spaces (think small yards and balconies), while painless to light or operate; forget hassling with fire or adjusting gas flames. Many condos and apartments won’t allow gas or charcoal grills but will allow electric grills. Modern electric grills offer high performance previously unheard of, and are being produced by some of the top names in grilling.
