Plates included
The number of individual plates in the device delivery set.
For operating the contact grill (see "Type"), two plates are needed, for other types of grills, one is enough. So if the characteristics state more such parts (4 or more for contact models, 2 or more for the rest) — this means that the device has removable plates (see "Functions") and is equipped with several types of plates that can be changed to your discretion. Most often, such replacement parts differ in the shape of the surface (see "Surface of the plates"); in addition, the set may include specialized devices for waffles, for pancakes (see below), etc.
A separate case in this regard is represented by pizza makers (see "Type"): although they use two-sided heating, but only one complete plate can be indicated in the characteristics. In such cases, we are talking about a removable plate that is attached to the upper half of the device (lid): when this part is installed, the pizza maker actually turns into a contact grill, and without it there is free space under the lid, which is convenient for cooking pizza and other similar dishes.
Baking tray levels (plates)
For grill ovens, which are as close as possible to ovens, the location of the workpiece for frying inside the device is relevant. Thus, the more height levels of the baking tray, the more options for more correct preparation of a particular dish.
Cable length
The length of the cable for connecting to the network provided in the design of the device.
It is worth considering the estimated distance to the outlet when choosing according to this indicator: a wire that is too short will not reach it, too long will get mixed up and create inconvenience. At the same time, also note that most electric grills are designed for use at home and other similar conditions, where there are no particular problems with access to sockets. Therefore, the cable length in such devices does not exceed 2 m, and in some models it is even about 80 cm.
