Every cook has a signature sound they chase. For some, it’s the slow crackle of skin-on chicken. For others, it’s the sharp hiss of a steak meeting heat. Whatever your soundtrack, it starts in the same place: temperature.

At Current®, we built the Model G and Model G+ Electric Grills to take the stress, and the guesswork out of cooking. Their heat doesn’t wander or flare. It holds steady right where it matters: at grate level, where food meets flavor.

Because when you control the heat, you control everything.

The quiet power of even heat

Most people crank their grill to high and hope for the best. Chefs, on the other hand, think in gradients. They know that flavor lives in the difference between 550 °F and 600 °F, that gentle heat builds tenderness while high heat builds crust.

That’s the beauty of electric grilling. Instead of chasing unpredictable flames, the Model G and G+ deliver uniform, responsive heat, steady enough to caramelize and quick enough to recover when you lift the lid.

Preheat like you mean it

Here’s the first secret of perfect grilling: give your grill a head start. Close the lid and let it preheat for about fifteen minutes, just enough time to prep your ingredients or pour a drink.

That preheat period evens out the grate temperature and eliminates the guesswork later. You’ll know it’s ready when that first piece of food lands and sings back. The sound tells you everything.

Even better, food releases more easily from a hot surface, leaving less residue behind and fewer post-dinner regrets when cleaning (for more help there, check out our full guide to cleaning your electric grill).

Two zones, infinite control

If you’ve ever watched a chef move food around a grill like chess pieces, this is why. Both the Model G and G+ feature dual heating zones, which means you can sear on one side while finishing on the other.

Set one zone to high—around 550 °F—and keep the other closer to 375 °F. Drop your steak or peppers on the hot side for that bold sear, then slide them over to coast to perfection. It’s the same strategy professional kitchens use every night.

You’ll feel it after a few tries: the rhythm of heat and rest, sear and finish. It’s intuitive, almost musical.

Your internal cheat sheet

Every ingredient has its sweet spot. Get familiar with these and you’ll stop watching the clock.

Feel, don’t just read

The Model G+ gives you a digital LED readout, so you’ll always know your exact grate temperature, but don’t be afraid to trust your senses too. Lift the lid; listen for the change in sound. Watch how the edges brown. Heat is something you learn to feel, not just measure.

Still, the tech doesn’t hurt. When food hits the grates or you open the grill lid, the G+ registers sharp temperature increases and decreases then adjusts to help maintain your desired temperature. Add the optional smart probe and it tracks internal food temperatures in real time, your own sous-chef in sensor form.

Electric vs. gas: two different conversations

If gas grills are all fire and flair, electric is quiet precision. Gas gives you open flames and occasional chaos; electric gives you stability and speed.

Current® electric grills heat evenly across every inch of the grate, recover faster after opening, and keep emissions to zero—ideal for patios, balconies, or anywhere that open flame isn’t an option.

Real-world fixes from real cooks

Even the smartest grill can’t fix human impatience. But it can make troubleshooting easy:

• If your grill seems slow to heat, check your outlet—extension cords can sap wattage.

• Seeing a little smoke while preheating? That’s just residue burning off; it’s a good sign.

• Uneven cooking? Double-check your zone settings or use the difference intentionally.

• If you’re ever stuck, our Current® Support Team and online FAQ have you covered.

A little patience goes a long way. So does a well-built grill.

The confidence that comes with control

Mastering temperature isn’t about memorizing numbers. It’s about developing feel.

After a few meals on a Model G or G+, you start to anticipate what the food wants. You notice how the grill hums when it’s ready, how your ingredients react, how dinner becomes effortless.

Electric heat gives you that edge—steady, responsive, and refreshingly drama-free. It’s grilling reimagined for people who love to cook.

So the next time you fire up the grill, don’t rush it. Listen for the sizzle. Watch for the color. Trust the heat. And know that you’re in control of every degree.
