It’s an odd fact that since I’ve purchased this wonderful little Breville oven that I don’t use the big range top but rarely, and have been avoiding using the grille outside because of the heat. Try standing in front of a 500 degree grille when the standing air temperature is over 100 degrees! I’ve cooked lots of different foods in this little beauty including Salmon, Turkey Burgers, regular burgers, French Fries and so on. Money well spent!
