{"product_id":"sage-the-bbq-press-grill","title":"Sage: the BBQ \u0026 Press Grill","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BBQ and Press Grill removes the boundaries between breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Close it for perfectly pressed paninis and burgers with golden crusts, open it flat for an expansive 1500cm² grilling surface that handles steaks, seafood, eggs, and pancakes at different temperatures simultaneously. The reversible ceramic plates flip between flat griddle and waffle, both PFOA and PTFE free, so you're not compromising on safety for performance. One-touch Panini, Burger, and Sear programs handle the timing automatically, whilst independent electronic temperature control on each plate means you can sear steak on one side whilst cooking delicate fish on the other. The adjustable plate tilt drains fat during cooking, and the removable drip tray catches what runs off, so cleanup is genuinely minimal. The No-mess Moat design prevents waffle batter spilling onto your benchtop. It's the kind of grill that transforms your kitchen into a proper cooking space, handling everything from breakfast bacon to dessert waffles without switching appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReversible ceramic plate system: Flip between flat griddle and waffle plates, both PFOA and PTFE free, allowing one appliance to handle paninis, burgers, steaks, waffles, and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen BBQ mode with 1500cm² grilling surface: Open the grill flat to double your cooking space for burgers, steaks, seafood, eggs, and pancakes, with independent temperature control on each side for different cooking requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne-touch pre-programmed settings: Panini, Burger, and Sear programs automatically create ideal cooking environments and timing, removing guesswork and delivering consistent results for your favourite foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronic temperature control per plate: Adjust the temperature independently on each plate when opened in BBQ mode, allowing simultaneous cooking of different foods at their ideal temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable plate tilt and No-mess Moat design: Tilted plates drain fat during cooking whilst the Moat prevents waffle batter spillage, and the removable drip tray catches residual fat for easy, minimal cleanup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Reversible contact grill with open BBQ mode\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 35.1cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth: 37.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 21.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Brushed stainless steel with ceramic non-stick plates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlate size: 25 x 30cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen BBQ mode grilling surface: 1500cm²\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlate configuration: Reversible: flat griddle on one side, waffle plates on other\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlate coating: Ceramic non-stick, PTFE and PFOA free\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContact grill mode: Heated plates press from above and below for paninis, burgers, steaks, and closed-grill cooking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBBQ mode: Opens flat for expanded grilling surface with independent temperature control per side\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-programmed settings: 3: Panini, Burger, Sear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature control: Electronic, independently adjustable on each plate in BBQ mode\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable plate tilt: Controls angle of base to drain fats or create perfectly flat surface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable height control: Reduces pressure on delicate foods and prevents toppings being pressed out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrip collection: Removable drip tray catches fat in both contact grill and BBQ mode\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaffle design feature: No-mess Moat prevents batter spillage onto benchtop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlate cleaning: Dishwasher-safe removable plates, or hand wash with non-stick ceramic coating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower: 1510-1800W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoltage: 220-240V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarranty: 2 year Replacement or Repair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCARE INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning the ceramic plates after cooking: Allow the grill to cool slightly, then wipe the ceramic plates with a soft cloth or sponge. The ceramic non-stick coating allows easy wiping without scrubbing. For stubborn residue, use warm water and a soft brush. The removable plates are dishwasher-safe, so you can pop them out and run through the dishwasher for thorough cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmptying and cleaning the removable drip tray: After cooking fatty foods like burgers or bacon, empty the collected fat from the drip tray before it cools and solidifies. Rinse the tray with warm water and dry. For stubborn grease, soak briefly in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintaining the ceramic non-stick coating: The ceramic coating is PTFE and PFOA free and performs best with gentle care. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that can scratch the surface. Use soft cloths and brushes. Avoid metal utensils that could damage the coating. The coating maintains its non-stick properties for years with proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjusting plate tilt for regular cooking: When grilling fatty foods, tilt the plates to drain fat into the drip tray. For flat cooking like pancakes and eggs, level the plates for even heat distribution. Ensure the tilt adjustment is secure before cooking to prevent movement during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotor base and electrical care: Never immerse the motor base or electrical components in water. Wipe the brushed stainless steel exterior with a dry cloth to remove splashes. Keep the power cord coiled neatly and stored safely. Allow the grill to cool completely before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill the open BBQ mode really let me cook different foods at different temperatures simultaneously? Yes. When opened flat, each side has independent electronic temperature control, so you can set one plate to sear steak at high heat whilst the other cooks delicate fish at lower temperature. This is what opens up endless cooking combinations rather than forcing you to choose one temperature for everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre the ceramic plates genuinely safe, or is PFOA and PTFE free just marketing? PFOA and PTFE are perfluorinated chemicals used in some non-stick coatings that can leach into food at high temperatures. PFOA and PTFE free ceramic plates eliminate this risk entirely. Higher temperatures also mean better browning and crust development, so you're not sacrificing performance for safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's the No-mess Moat design actually for? When you pour waffle batter, it naturally wants to flow off the sides of the plate. The Moat is a channel around the edge that catches batter before it spills onto your benchtop. It's a small feature that removes genuine cleanup friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs the adjustable plate tilt actually useful, or just a gimmick? It's genuinely useful. When cooking fatty foods like burgers or bacon, tilting the plate drains rendered fat into the drip tray, which keeps food from sitting in grease and improves texture. For flat foods like pancakes, you can level the plates perfectly. It's proper engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39711326273594,"sku":"091381","price":209.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/products\/sage-the-bbq-press-SGR700BSS4GEU1-1.jpg?v=1671637830","url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/products\/sage-the-bbq-press-grill","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
