Ideal for people who want to reduce the fat in their diet, non-stick electric grills are marketed as an easier-to-clean and healthier alternative to frying pans and other methods of cooking that require adding butter or oil. Any fat in the food drips down during cooking and is collected in the drip tray. Princess New Classics Grill, Model 2306 The puff: 'A multi-purpose contact grill suitable for making toasted sandwiches, grilling meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, snacks, vegetables, potatoes, etc. The grill plates have a groove system reducing fat absorption for deliciously 'light' food!' The look: It feels as sturdy as it looks, but its eye-catching design would fit well in any kitchen. Wow factor: According to Princess managing director Luc van de Kar, the development and design of the New Classics line took three years because of the distinct curved design. The Teflon non-stick coating should last longer than similar surfaces on a cheaper grill. The grooves keep the food above the cooking surface. This grill is said to remove 70 per cent more fat than traditional cooking methods, or more for those requiring butter or oil. The damage: About $700 George Foreman GRP99 Next Grilleration Grill The puff: 'A lean mean fat-reducing grilling machine.' The look: It doesn't look mean, but it cooks a mean steak. Wow factor: An easier-to-clean version of the former heavyweight boxer's popular original grill thanks to the removable grill plates, which the 1995 original lacked. The unit's oversized LED display provides easy readouts for the temperature control and timer. It comes with a grooved spatula and two removable drip trays (other brands usually have one). The cooking surface is 234cm, 10-20 per cent bigger than regular grills. The damage: About $1,000
