The grill has a design that allows the grill to heat the top and bottom surfaces of the food, meaning that the food does not need to be flipped while cooking. Both heating surfaces are grooved to reduce the contact area, and covered in a non-stick coating. The lower heating surface is angled to allow liquid fat and other fluids to drain through the grooves into a removable drip tray that also shows the amount removed from the food. This design has been marketed as a way to "knock out the fat", to appear as a healthier way to cook food.
