DeLonghi Livenza Compact Grill

Grilling indoors is simple with the DeLonghi Livenza Compact Grill. This small, countertop appliance heats quickly and includes a drip tray to collect grease. It includes three interchangeable nonstick plates to make waffles, paninis, and grilled foods.



I was happy with how simple it is to operate this grill. Simply plug in the cord, wait a minute or two, and you can get cooking. It gets hot enough for the perfect grill marks on meat so no one will believe you cooked their food inside on a an electric appliance; the quality of the sear is that good.



Countertop appliances like this one are great, but if you have a small kitchen, it can be hard to find the space. That is what I love about this compact model. It is small enough to store vertically in a cabinet, or even in a drawer when not in use. Don't be fooled by the small size, you can make a ton of food in a short period with this grill. 



The nonstick design works really well, especially when making waffles. Batter does not get stuck, and food comes out golden brown. This also means you don't have to use added oil or butter.



It is so simple to convert this grill into a waffle maker or panini press. The plates snap on and off with the press of a button. Because they are removable, you can also put them in the dishwasher after use. Add in the drip tray and it definitely beats the clean-up after using a grill!
