Q: How is the Smeg 50's Style MultiGrill different from a basic sandwich press?
A: A multigrill is more flexible than a basic sandwich press because it is designed for contact grilling as well as broader grill-style cooking. That makes this Smeg better suited to panini, vegetables, burgers and thicker foods, not just sealed toasties.
Q: Is the Smeg 50's Style MultiGrill suitable for thicker foods like chicken or steak?
A: Yes, a contact-style multigrill is useful for thicker foods because the heated plates cook from both sides at once. Results are usually best with moderately sized fillets, chicken pieces or steaks rather than very large bone-in cuts.
Q: Can the Smeg 50's Style MultiGrill handle everyday cooking for more than one person?
A: Yes, a multigrill format is generally more practical for small households than a compact press because the cooking surface is broader and more versatile. It still suits benchtop meal prep, so it is better for couples or sides than barbecue-sized batches.
Q: Does the Smeg 50's Style MultiGrill work well for vegetables and fish, or is it mainly for meat and toasties?
A: Yes, it can suit vegetables and fish as well as meat and toasties, especially firmer items that hold their shape on grill plates. Delicate fillets need more care, and very wet marinades can reduce browning and make sticking more likely.
Q: Will the Smeg 50's Style MultiGrill give a different result from cooking in a frying pan?
A: Yes, contact grilling usually browns food faster than a frying pan because heat is applied from both the top and bottom. It can also create a grilled finish on panini, vegetables and proteins, while a pan is better for sauces and frequent stirring.
