Abstract
An electric grill includes a base having a compartment in an upper side thereof. A control device is mounted to the base and includes a first electrical coupling mechanism adapted to be electrically connected to an external power source by a power cable. A grill plate is mounted above the compartment of the base and removable from the base. An electric heating device is mounted to the grill plate. The electric heating device includes an electric heating tube and a second electrical coupling mechanism electrically connected to the electric heating tube. The electric heating tube is non-conductive when the grill plate is removed from the base. When the grill plate is mounted on the base, the second electrical coupling mechanism is in electrical connection with the first electrical coupling mechanism, and the electric heating tube is controllable by the control device to be conductive.
