Health fans praise 'fantastic' kitchen gadget that uses little to no oil or butter

Health kicks are praising Drew & Cole's 5-Minute Cleverchef Deluxefor helping them to stay on track at mealtimes. The hot plate-style gadget can cook everything from fluffy omelettes to juicy burgers and golden toasties.

Drew & Cole's 5-Minute Cleverchef Deluxe is £49.99 on Yimbly (a marketplace owned by The Mirror's parent company, Reach Plc). Throughout July, consumers can drive the price down further using the discount code SUMMERDAYS10.

The offer reduces the price to £44.99. The 5-Minute Cleverchef Deluxe can also be purchased on Littlewoods for £46.99, where prospective buyers can find upwards of 1,000 ratings and reviews.

The gadget is built with three easy-to-change plates, including an omelette plate, a grill plate for paninis and meats, and a waffle plate. The plates are non-stick, so owners can reduce the amount of oil or butter they use when cooking.

Yimbly also sells a cheaper version of the CleverChef for £29.99 (£26.99 with the discount code SUMMERDAYS10 applied); however, this version does not come with interchangeable plates. It is cheaper to buy on Amazon, where it is priced at £24.

Alternatively, Currys offers the famous George ForemanFlexe Grill for £59.99. It requires little to no oil and has a built-in drip tray to collect any extra fat.

One Littlewoods reviewer left a detailed review for Drew & Cole's 5-Minute Cleverchef Deluxe, saying: "This little monster is so good I have bought a second one. I absolutely love it. Omlettes are a breeze and those toasties. Just so crispy.

"It helped me out so much when my mum was in the late stages of her life. She wouldn't eat, but if I asked if she wanted a baby omlette, she knew what it was and always said yes, it was the one thing she always ate. Thanks for making a little machine that did so much good in the end. Highly recommend this little machine."

An additional shopper was underwhelmed with the device, writing: "It’s okay, but not quite what I expected. It’s a bit small, and it doesn’t cook well."

A third added: "I bought this grill for portion control as I'm on a diet. This is absolutely perfect. It makes a fantastic omelette and cooks a cheese toastie to perfection (all I've tried so far, as I'm addicted to the omelette).

"It's so easy to use and clean. I'm really pleased."

Another alternative to Drew & Cole's Cleverchef Deluxe is Ninja's Sizzle Pro XL Grill & Flat Plate, which costs £179.99. The wide grill surface fits up to ten burgers, chicken (breast, thigh or leg) or salmon fillets. It is intended for outdoor cooking only.
