The integrated, removable drip tray is designed for effortless cleaning, as it pulls out from the front even though the plates drain towards the back of the base. The Adjustable Plate Tilt feature gives you the flexibility to either let oil and grease drain into the drip tray or keep the bottom plate flat for cooking eggs and pancakes.

Using the Breville BGR820XL is a piece of cake. First, plug it in and set the temperature using the variable control. You can choose from LOW, PANINI, and SEAR modes according to what you're cooking. If you want to use the full 260 - square - inch surface for BBQ, use the BBQ Lock Release to flatten the grill. When cooking fatty foods, tilt the bottom plate so that the oil, fat, and grease drain into the drip tray at the back. For making eggs or pancakes, keep the bottom plate flat. After you're done cooking, let the grill cool down completely. Then, you can remove the drip tray from the front for easy cleaning. The plates are dishwasher - safe, so you can just pop them in the dishwasher for a thorough clean. Remember, this item is discontinued, so take good care of it. Don't use abrasive cleaners on the non - stick plates as it might damage the titanium - infused Quantanium™ coating. And always make sure the grill is unplugged when you're cleaning it or doing any maintenance.
