  • Patent number: 4342259
    Abstract: An improved grill containing a solid grill plate. Grooves disposed in the grill plate retain juices from the food cooked thereupon to enhance the flavor of the food. The edges of the grill plate curve downwardly allowing excess grease and juice to run off the surface of the plate. A drip tray funnels the runoff grease to a refuse compartment. A collar supports the grill plate and a housing supports the collar and a heating source. Holes in the housing allow air to enter and be warmed by the heating source. The hot air escapes through a space between the collar and the housing.
