Features and Benefits

EvenSear™ Active Heat Cooking System (patent pending)

The active dual element grill system sears while it cooks by heating food directly. The
upper searing element reaches 650°F to lock in flavor and juices by searing your food.

The lower cooking element simultaneously provides precise even heat. The EvenSear
cooking system applies energy through both grill layers and heats the entire grill area,
for even cooking and maximum space utilization.

No Cold Spots

Because there are no variations in temperature, the PowerChef provides 100% use of
its grill area. The full 216 square inch grill maintains a consistent even temperature,
even in the corners.

Easy Automatic Grilling

With a few easy steps the electronic controls produce perfect cooking results every time
without any guesswork. Program the type of food, thickness and the desired doneness
of the food. The control chimes when it’s time to flip and time to serve, and in case of
no response, it automatically reduces heat to low. Select manual mode to cook the old­fashioned way or create a custom program to simplify a favourite meal (custom program
is only available on model BPC-2007).

Safe Operation

The PowerChef is safe, with no open flame, combustion or volatile fuels. It can safely be
used in areas that other grills cannot, including apartment and condo balconies.

Green

Using an electric grill instead of a propane grill can reduce your carbon footprint. A
40,000 BTU propane grill will produce up to 2.49 kg of carbon dioxide per hour. In
comparison, the PowerChef electric grill using electricity generated from an average mix
of sources will produce a maximum of 0.36 kg of carbon dioxide per hour. **

Rotisserie Cooking (Model BPC-2007 only)
Flip up the dual element to convert it to a rotisserie element. This feature eliminates

flare-ups and excessive smoking, meaning evenly cooked, juicy roasts every time.
