Actually, its more like two grills in one. The even side of the grill is perfect for pancakes, crepes and bacon. The wavy side cooks meat, fish and vegetables to perfection right there on the dining table. Both surfaces are made from non-stick coated aluminum, the handles from heat-resistant plastics. The table grill can be set to six temperatures, and it comes with a double-end heat-resistant spatula one for each grilling surface. The grill, as well as the drip pan underneath it, is dishwasher safe. Why even own a stove, is the only remaining question.
