Salter Marblestone XL Health and Panini Grill

Chances are if you have household appliances, and we believe it’s safe to assume you do, that some, past or present are from the Salter brand, I can think of at least two in my kitchen without even checking. This is because Salter has been around for over 261 years and is one of the UK’s oldest housewares brands.

This grill has a marble-effect non-stick grill plates this allows you to cook with little to no oil for healthier meals, it is designed so the grill can fold in half and be used as a panini maker or folded out flat into the electric griddle for tabletop grilling. There is an integrated drip tray to collects any excess fat and oil, draining it away from your food for a healthier meal and easier cleaning.
The plates measure up at 29 x 23 cm, not massive but you can just about squeeze two sandwiches in here, it can be used to cook a variety of meats, fish, vegetables and toasted sandwiches. The adjustable temperature controls have no numbers on to tell you how hot the grill is it just goes from zero to max, a bit more info here would be useful.

Salter claim you can save 81% off energy bills using this grill when comparing the energy used to cook chicken on a 1.8 kW electric hob. There are recipes on the website to inspire you and the instructions were easy enough to follow, it’s all self-explanatory. The build quality isn’t great, it doesn’t give me hope we will be using this for 10s of years to come, the drip tray is also temperamental when it comes to staying in one place.

The Marblestone XL Health and Panini Grill has room to improve, but we feel you get what you pay for here, it needs a little oil to crisp up the paninis otherwise you just get very warm bread. It could be a more robust, perhaps a little bigger also but it does a reasonable job at grilling most meats and veg. RRP £59.99
