It is important to know
Before choosing a smart contact grill like the Vivax SM-2100SG B, it is crucial to consider how often and for what types of dishes you will use it. The compromise between functionality (temperature settings, power) and ease of cleaning and maintenance in the daily rhythm of use is especially important. If multifunctional food preparation means a lot to you, pay special attention to details that are not always obvious from the specifications.
- The adjustable temperature allows you to cook different types of food (e.g. thin sandwiches, burgers or vegetables), but the user experience may be limited if you frequently switch between foods with different cooking requirements and the grill does not have interchangeable plates.
- Higher power means faster heating and better results with thicker ingredients, but in a small kitchen, the grill may present practical limitations due to its size or the need for a more powerful connection (check the space and electrical outlets if you plan on using it more often).
- Cleaning is most often a challenge when preparing meat or greasy foods regularly; if the plates are not removable or dishwasher safe, routine maintenance can take more time.
- The compactness of a grill is an advantage for smaller kitchens, but it usually means a smaller surface area, which limits the amount of food you can prepare at once.

In practice
🟢 Quick preparation of warm sandwiches and paninis
Due to the contact mode of operation and sufficiently powerful heating power, the grill is very suitable for fresh sandwiches, paninis or toast - without waiting for a long time to heat up.
🟢 Preparing meat, burgers and vegetables
The adjustable temperature allows for adjustment depending on the type of food, so both burgers and vegetables are cooked evenly on both sides.
🟡 Simultaneous preparation of multiple portions
The grill can prepare multiple servings for a smaller household, but for larger quantities, the limited surface area requires dividing into multiple rounds or waiting.
🟡 Cleaning after baking greasy foods
If the grill does not have removable plates or dishwasher-safe options, cleaning after greasy food is more difficult and requires more manual labor.
🔴 Preparation of desserts (waffles, donuts)
This grill is not intended for baking desserts such as waffles or donuts, as it does not have the appropriate additional plates or attachments.
