CHATSWORTH, CA – SANYO, a leader in small electric kitchen appliances, expands its line of indoor electric grills as consumers look for different ways to cook healthy meals. The past success of the HPS-SG3 Indoor Barbecue Grill, established the grill as a growing category for SANYO. The two new models, HPS-SG2 and HPS-SG4 will be shown at the International Home and Housewares Show Booth #L11727, March 16-18 in Chicago.
The HPS-SG2 has an ample 120-square-inch cooking surface and powerful 850-Watt heating element at a reasonable cost ($49.99 MSRP). The 1300-Watt HPS-SG4 ($69.99 MSRP) is a grill/griddle combination with 200 square inches of cooking surface. About 1/3 of the cooking area holds a griddle section with lid while a traditional grill surface covers most of the unit.
The Indoor Electric Grill is gaining in popularity due to the health and wellness trend that is emerging around the country. “The popularity of the SANYO Electric Grills is fueled by consumers’ interest in eating healthier. Grilling is a healthy way of cooking since the fat drains away from the food,” said Derek Hines, SANYO Home Appliance Marketing Manager. “The unique design uses a dishwasher safe drip pan to ensure virtually smoke-free indoor cooking. Paired with the ability to sear foods just like a traditional barbecue, SANYO grills bring all the flavor and fun of outdoor cooking, indoors,” Hines added.
Each grill is packaged in a four-color carton featuring imagery of and quotes from Chef Martin Yan. SANYO is a national corporate underwriter of the new PBS series “Martin Yan’s China.” Chef Yan will hold cooking demonstrations at the SANYO Booth #L11727 on Sunday at 10:30AM and 2PM and on Monday at 10:30AM.
