The Breville Die Cast Indoor BBQ & Grill
(Father’s Day Giveaway)

Congrats to the winner: Sarah Daniels.
What is it about guys and grills? We’re going to a barbecue tomorrow and my friend is telling me all about how excited her husband is to grill chicken and other meats on their new grill. Even my husband (who has a pretty laid-back personality) gets excited when he hears that we’re going to a barbecue. He also loves “manning the grill” at various outings. Practically every man that I know just loves to grill – it’s like they have an inner grill-master inside! It’s no wonder that grilling gadgets are such top Father’s Day gift items.
Unfortunately, there’s not always a lot of space for grills in small, urban apartments. That’s why I’m so excited that Breville gave me and is giving one lucky Mom in the City reader their Die Cast Indoor BBQ & Grill ($249.99).
Normally, my husband is not excited about the items that I review or give away on this site. However, he was really happy about this one! I let him know that he would have to work for it though by sharing his thoughts. Here are the 5 things that we like the most about the grill:
1. It is versatile. The height adjusts so you can grill a variety of foods from pancakes to thick cuts of meat.
2. It is compact. Although you have the option of opening it to grill, it can also fit on a countertop when closed. For me, it’s replacing my Crock-pot on the counter while the weather is warm. (I really don’t like a lot of stews/chili type foods when it’s warm outside.)
3. It gives real barbecue results. (Although honestly, it’s impossible for it to have that same charcoal smell and taste.)
4. It is easy to clean. Some women love cleaning. It makes them happy. I’m not one of those women. Since I clean when my husband cooks, the non-stick plates on the grill get a thumbs-up from me!
And
5. It is a healthy choice. You have the option of draining the fat into the included dip tray. (My husband doesn’t really care because he has a crazy metabolism. He can eat whatever he likes and not gain an ounce.)
To enter, please share your favorite feature of the grill in the “Comments” section below by Monday, June 15th at noon.

Good luck!
I love that it is easy to clean and makes it possible to grill burgers in the winter.
I like that the top plate can adjust to 6 different heights, so it can be used to cook almost anything.
Thanks so much for offering this wonderful prize! This grill looks awesome! Thanks.
any grill that is easy to clean is for me
I like the fact that the drip tray is dishwasher safe. Also, the fact that the top plate is adjustable is nice. I have had other indoor grills that did not have this feature and were incapable of grilling a thick steak or burger. Thanks for the giveaway.
I like the fact that its compact and portable… but gives you the same barbeque results! I live in a condo with no backyard and its illegal for me to have a regular outdoor grill so this would be perfect! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
wow, great contest
I like that it is compact. I don’t have a lot of counter space so I like appliances that are smaller.
GREAT FOR INDOOR USE DURING THE WINTER

Well, have you ever met a man who didn’t like pancakes? The fact that you can cook pancakes on this grill is just stunning!
I want one!
My favorite feature of the Breville Die Cast Indoor BBQ & Grill is its an Indoor BBQ. This way I can BBQ all year round and not just during the summer.
i like the drip pan feature. too many of my friends and family have to go lean.
definitely the stainless steel and die cast arm because we will use it like crazy and it needs to last

My favorite feature of the Breville Die Cast Indoor BBQ & Grill is that it is easy to clean! As much as I love (insert sarcasm) cleaning, I do like this feature.
Thank you.
I love that its easy to clean and can fit on my counter. I love bbq but we have no room for a grill so this would be PERFECT!
I love that it’s easy to clean. This looks so great. Thanks for sharing~
The best feature is that it is easy to clean. wooo hooooooooo!
I love that you can grill year-round!
Love that it has both ribbed and flat plates- I need multipurpose gadgets! No room to store a griddle AND a grill in my kitchen, so this is right up my alley.
die cast arm so you won’t break it in a few minutes
dishwasher safe! i am sold!

easy to clean !!!
This easy to clean feature including the dishwasher safe tray.
you can throw the drip tray in the dishwasher.
Easy to clean and that makes it right up my alley!
My husband usually has to deal with the grill if we eat our food that way. This would be such a great thing for him because it is easy clean up and the fact that the drip tray can go in the dishwasher just adds to that feature.
I love it because you can cook so healthy with it. And it doesn’t take up a lot of space.

What else can I say? It is small and very easy to clean.
My favorite feature is it’s easy to clean. I’m always looking for ways to prepare meals with minimal cleaning time and this looks perfect!

I love that you can use it indoors and its dishwasher save.
that is one awesome grill- i like that it can be used indoors -there is a city ordinance where my daughter lives that does not allow grills out on the patios at condo’s, apts. etc. and this would just be great – i also like the dishwasher safe drip tray- looks like it is very well made.
I don’t have an indoor grill and this one looks like one I would like, compact and easy to clean — THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY !!!!!!

My favorite reature is that it is easy to clean, as I am always the one who has to clean up after dinner, being the mom.
I like the fact that it’s compact, stainless steel and non-stick!

I love the fact that it is compact and looks good!
I like the fact that it is small enough to leave out on my counter and its easy to clean.
I love the adjustable top plate feature. That is a huge plus in my book.
