Elite Gourmet’s EPN160 is a compact electric grill that solves a common kitchen problem. It’s for the person who wants a hot, pressed sandwich or a quick burger without firing up a full-sized appliance or dealing with a bulky panini press. At 520 watts, it heats up fast, and its 60-square-inch ceramic surface is the exact right size for a personal meal.

The ceramic non-stick coating is the key feature here. It makes clean-up genuinely simple after cooking eggs or a greasy grilled cheese. The plates open to a full 180 degrees, turning it into a small griddle for bacon or a single burger patty. We found the cool-touch handles essential for a device this small, as they let you reposition it on a countertop safely.

Just know its scale is its defining trait. It’s perfect for a dorm, office kitchen, or a household of one. You won’t cook for a family on it, but for a fast, satisfying lunch with minimal mess, it delivers exactly what it promises.
