Slick Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill
While others have flown through all barriers of Overkill, this little unit is just enough grill for what most people need in the world of indoor or urban grilling. This 120V electric grill features ~~Teflon~~ USDA non-stick non-Teflon food grade coating on the grates and disposable aluminum grease trays. Perfect, except for the Teflon. Teflon no longer has the stainless reputation as the neatest thing to come out of the space program. Teflon releases toxic fumes at around 536F which can be reached in boil dry situations, and one would guess, grilling. Ignoring the potential toxicity, how well will the Teflon coating hold up through the rigors of the American BBQ, even low key American BBQ? Best of Show, without the Teflon.
UPDATED June 5, 2007: BBQ does not feature Teflon coating, our apologies to Kenyon for our error.
