Benefits of technology

[0009] Another object of the invention is to provide a tabletop cooking appliance that can cook two types of food simultaneously; draining fat from one side while cooking level on the other side.
[0010] Another object of the invention is to provide a tabletop cooking appliance that is assembled with dual sliding pin hinges, allowing for multiple positions and accounting for varying thicknesses of food.

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage to such appliances currently available include limiting the user to the closed cooking position, preventing viewing of the food during cooking, cooking space limited to one half of the appliances available surface area, storage limited to the least space efficient configuration whereby the appliance lays flat and occupies a large portion of the shelf, and limited cleanability due to fixed cooking grills.
