But there are hundreds of devices of this type on the market and it&#8217;s not easy to choose the perfect one for your business. I would like to dispel at least some of your doubts by presenting the possibilities of the flat top and contact grill when it comes to hamburgers. I will be conducting a qualitative and quantitative test. If you&#8217;re curious about the results, I invite you to watch this episode on the Chef\u2019s Gear channel. I am, as always, very interested in your experiences and opinions.
