Abstract: An electric grill comprising a large planar surface with shallow sides defining a first cooking surface and an adjustable grillpan carrying a second cooking surface. The first cooking surface is smooth and flat, suitable for cooking or grilling foods. The second cooking surface comprises a plurality of parallel ribs along its surface, and is adapted for grilling foods. Sloped channels between the ribs carry grease away from the food while it cooks. A reservoir on the downside of the sloping surface collects the run-off. The parallel ribs are flat on top, but are deeper as the channels approach the reservoir. Placement of the grillpan within the structure comprising the first cooking surface generates three separate cooking compartments. Juices from different foods cooked simultaneously on the three respective grill surfaces are thereby prevented from mixing.
