GreenPan CC006585 Non-Stick 3-in-1 Contact Grill & Indoor BBQ - Cloud Cream

Just because summer is over, it doesn’t mean barbecue season is as well! With GreenPan’s Non-Stick 3-in-1 Contact Grill, you can bring the BBQ indoors, and keep on enjoying that hot-off-the-grill taste of your favourite meat and veg. And it’s not just all about the Barbie – thanks to its interchangeable plates, you can also use it as to fry, a panini press and to grill, so that’s breakfast, lunch and dinner sorted, all in one machine.

Versatile cooking

There are so many ways to use this Contact Grill, you’ll always be finding new ways to cook your favourite foods on it, but the three main ways are: as an indoor BBQ, as a grill, to fry meat and vegetables and to sear food at a high temperature to lock in the flavour.

As well as a conventional grill that can be closed to cook foods like juicy chicken breasts or filling-stuffed paninis, it can be opened up and laid flat to use as a hot plate for grilling and searing meats, frying eggs for breakfast, or even making pancakes. (And don’t forget the waffle plates – making four large, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, sweet or savoury waffles, at any time of day).

It’s even clever enough to have independent settings for the top and bottom plates, so you can set separate temperatures and cooking times for the upper and lower plates, or select the same for both, to give you even more choice and control over your cooking.

Removable and reversible plates

On the two grill plates you’ll find a flat side for frying and searing and a griddle plate on the other for grilling and getting those authentic grill lines on your food. And because the plates can be easily removed and changed, you can choose to have a griddle plate on one side and a flat plate on the other, so it’s perfect for cooking different foods at once – full English, anyone?

And when the weather calls off your outdoor barbecue plans, all you’ll need to do is pull out your GreenPan Contact Grill and bring the party inside. Using the griddle plate, you can cook all your favourite BBQ chow from sausages, burgers and skewers of veg, as well as using the flat plate to sear juicy steaks and fillets of salmon in a sweet chili glaze. And with the Sear button to give you a quick temperature boost, you’ll get them cooked and ready to eat in less than ten minutes.

We know it’s not all party party party all the time, so when you need a quick lunchtime option, it’ll grill a chicken breast in less than ten minutes or a panini in five. And it has four adjustable height settings, so you really can go overboard with all your favourite fillings.

Easy to use and store

With simple-to-use knobs to control the time and temperature for the upper and lower plates, the easy to read LCD display lets you check your settings for both plates at a glance so you’re in control at all times.

The dishwasher safe plates are easy to remove and clean and also have a PFAS-free, Thermolon non-stick coating, so there’ll be no nasty chemicals released during cooking. And the tough, ceramic coating is safe to use with metal utensils.

When everyone’s fed and watered, it can be locked shut and stored vertically, taking up minimal cupboard space if you don’t want to leave it out on your counter - plus the handy cord wrap underneath stops it from getting tangled up, leaving everything neat and tidy.

A Belgian company, GreenPan is the brainchild of two school friends, Jan Helskens and Wim De Veirman, who set out to create a greener, non-toxic alternative to conventional non-stick pan coatings – and 15 years on, their pans are loved all around the world. Refusing to rest on their laurels, they use upcycled stainless steel and aluminium wherever possible and are constantly searching for new innovations such as reinforcing their Thermolon non-stick with diamonds to give it extra durability and resilience.
