Electric grills are powered by electricity. Most devices have to be heated up for a short time before the food can be placed on the grill. Some electric grills have a temperature controller with which the temperature can be continuously regulated. This is an advantage for successful grilling, as it can be cooked at the right temperature for the respective grilled food according to the cooking time. There are heating rods or heating coils in the electric grills, which heat up within a very short time and transfer the heat to the grillage or grill plate. Roast juices or dripping fat drains into the integrated collecting container. These collecting containers are filled with water before grilling in order to prevent fat from burning. The water that neutralizes the flammable fat ensures that there is no high smoke or odor development or the risk of suffocation when grilling. This means that electric grills, especially table grills, can be used in the apartment or on the balcony.
