Compact size and stainless steel construction, the BS41 offers multiple functions: it can be used as a traditional contact grill, as a panini press for making delicious sandwiches, as a half grill plate, or fully opened for grilling fish or meat, effectively doubling the cooking surface. It features a large, heat-resistant handle, and the temperature control, power indicator, and "ready to grill" indicator are conveniently located at the base. The device is equipped with two large, removable non-stick plates that have a special "Petravera" coating: these innovative stone-effect non-stick plates allow for healthier, natural, and fat-free cooking.
