An appliance for cooking foodstuffs includes an electric grill plate adapted for use atop a horizontal table top surface, a plate component of the electric grill plate, and a frustum-shaped cooking surface on the plate component that slopes downwardly in all horizontal directions from a central vertical axis in order to promote drainage from foodstuffs during cooking. One embodiment also includes concentric ribs for holding the foodstuffs from sliding downwardly across the cooking surface, a two-position marinade cup mounted in a central chimney for containing marinade in a selected one of high-heat and low-heat proximity to the cooking surface of the plate component, a scalloped cup lip for receiving skewers, a perimeter fence for retaining the foodstuffs on the cooking surface, indentations along the fence for receiving the skewers and providing a flow path for steam to pass out from under the cover, a see-through glass cover, a removable grease tray, a cool-to-touch base, and a submersible electric grill plate.

Table top grill

A cooking device including a lower cooking plate which is positioned at an angle to the horizontal plane of the device has grilling members supported in heat conducting relation and an upper cooking plate movable to a closed position forming a cooking chamber which substantially restrains the escape of vapors and permits the cooking and removal of small pieces or ground foodstuffs. In one embodiment, the device includes a collecting member positioned beneath a downwardly extending portion of the lower cooking plate, which can have an opening and through which liquids emitted from the foodstuffs during cooking can be removed, and into which the foodstuffs after cooking can be collected for removal from the device.
