Electric Contact Grill Salter EK6237VDE ActiGrill Family with Adjustable Temperature and Floating Hinge

Salter EK6237VDE ActiGrill Family is an electric contact grill designed for household use that accommodates larger portions and varied food thicknesses. The device features adjustable temperature control and a floating hinge that adapts to sandwiches, paninis, steaks and thicker cuts. Nonstick plates and a removable drip tray make everyday cooking and cleaning easier while PFAS-free materials support oil-reduced grilling for family meals.

Advantages

The grill offers adjustable temperature control for consistent heat management and an automatic temperature maintenance system that helps achieve even cooking results. A floating hinge allows the top plate to follow the shape and thickness of the food, enabling you to grill multiple portion sizes up to eight servings. Nonstick cooking plates reduce the need for oil and simplify cleaning, while a removable drip tray collects excess fat and liquids for healthier cooking and easier disposal. Materials used are PFAS-free.

Suitable for

• Grilling sandwiches and paninis, including deep-fill varieties
• Cooking steaks, chicken breasts and burgers of varying thickness
• Grilling vegetables and fish for quick indoor meals
• Preparing multiple portions for family meals or small gatherings (up to 8 portions)

When it may not be suitable

This electric contact grill is intended for indoor household use and is not suitable for commercial or high-frequency professional catering where heavier-duty equipment is required. It may not be ideal for very large roasts or whole poultry that exceed the plate dimensions or for recipes that require open-flame grilling characteristics.

Key specifications

• Capacity: cooks up to 8 portions
• Temperature control: adjustable with automatic temperature maintenance
• Hinge: floating hinge to accommodate different food thicknesses
• Plates: nonstick, easy-clean cooking surface
• Drip management: removable drip tray for fat and liquid collection
• Materials: PFAS-free construction on food contact surfaces

How to use

Preheat the grill to the desired temperature using the adjustable control and allow the plates to reach operating heat. Place food on the lower plate and lower the top plate so the floating hinge closes naturally over the item; the hinge will adapt to thicker fillings or cuts. Monitor cooking progress and adjust temperature or cooking time as needed. When finished, open the grill, transfer food using suitable utensils to avoid scratching the plates, and allow the unit to cool before cleaning. Remove the drip tray and empty residual liquids; wipe the nonstick plates with a soft cloth or sponge following the manufacturer’s cleaning guidance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure plate dimensions and capacity meet your portion and ingredient size needs
• Confirm that indoor countertop space and electrical supply are suitable for the grill
• Decide if a contact grill’s cooking method matches recipes you plan to prepare (no open flame)
• Note that heavy utensils or abrasive cleaners can damage nonstick plates

Usage recommendations

For best results preheat the grill fully, use minimal added oil for lower-fat cooking, and let the floating hinge close without forcing to ensure even contact. Regularly empty the removable drip tray and clean the nonstick plates with a soft cloth after the unit has cooled to maintain performance and plate condition.
