Sometimes manufacturers use a different plate other than metal that is ceramics plate or known as ceramics plate burner. In ceramics burner heat is dissipated throughout the entire surface by means of radiation not by a direct conduction process. Ceramics plate burner using radiation is a lot more effective and efficient compared to the conduction type metal plate burners because of its fast ability to reach a higher temperature to heat.

Electric grills have no other source of energy also and all you have to do is plug it into your house then you are on the go. Unlike other types of grills you don't have to worry in refilling it with kerosene gas or some packs of charcoals which can be a hazard to health and in the atmosphere.

The only significant difference here is that when you cook your meat for example in the electric grill, you are eliminating more fats in the meat rather than that of the traditional charcoal grills.
