Brentwood TS-643BK 1200W Electric Smokeless Indoor Grill in Black
At a Glance
- What it is: A 12.6 x 10 inch electric indoor grill that drains fat into a removable pan to cut the smoke
- Power: 1200 watts, cETLus approved
- Temperature: Genuinely adjustable, 200°F to 425°F, on a removable control probe
- Warranty: 1-year manufacturer warranty, published by Brentwood
- ⚠ Before you buy: The grill PLATE is not dishwasher safe - only the drip pan and base are. And smokeless means less smoke, not zero: there is no fan or vent
Indoor grilling usually ends one of two ways: a smoke alarm, or a disappointing grey steak. The Brentwood TS-643BK goes after the first problem honestly - fat drains off the ceramic grilling surface into a removable pan instead of sitting there and burning, which is where indoor smoke actually comes from. Add a real 200°F to 425°F temperature range and 1200 watts and you can get proper grill marks in a apartment kitchen in February.
Key Features
- Fat Drains Away Into a Removable Pan: This is the whole idea. Smoke comes from fat hitting a hot surface and burning. Drain the fat and you cut the smoke - which is why this works where a dry grill pan does not.
- A Real Temperature Range: 200°F to 425°F: Not a high/low switch. Low enough to hold vegetables and chicken without scorching, hot enough at 425°F to put marks on a steak.
- 1200 Watts: Enough power to recover heat when cold food hits the plate - the thing cheap indoor grills fail at.
- Removable Temperature Control Probe: Pull the probe out and the base and drip pan can be properly cleaned. It also means the control is replaceable rather than a permanent failure point.
- Ceramic Non-Stick Grilling Surface: Food releases, and the plate wipes down rather than needing to be scrubbed.
- Lightweight and Portable: Easy to store and easy to bring out - it is not a fixture, it is an appliance you actually use.
- cETLus Approved with a 1-Year Warranty: Independently safety-certified, and backed by Brentwood for a full year.
Before You Buy
- The grill plate itself is NOT dishwasher safe: Read this carefully, because the manufacturer's own sentence is easy to misread. The ceramic grill surface wipes down clean. Only the DRIP PAN and the BASE go in the dishwasher. If you were planning to put the grilling plate in the dishwasher, you cannot.
- 'Smokeless' means LESS smoke, not zero: There is no fan and no vent on this unit. It is an open grill that drains fat away, which dramatically reduces smoke - but a hot steak on a hot surface will still produce some. Expect far less smoke than a grill pan, not a literally smoke-free kitchen.
- The temperature probe must be removed before cleaning: The unit cannot be immersed with the control probe attached.
- Use it indoors, on a heat-resistant surface: This is an indoor electric grill, not a patio appliance. It needs clearance above and around it, and it must stay away from moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Q: Is it actually smokeless?
A: It produces dramatically less smoke than a dry grill pan, because fat drains into a pan instead of burning on a hot surface. But there is no fan and no vent, so it is not literally zero smoke. Expect a quiet kitchen, not a sterile one.
Q: Can I put the grill plate in the dishwasher?
A: No - and this trips people up. Only the drip pan and the base are dishwasher safe. The ceramic grilling surface is wipe-clean.
Q: How hot does it get?
A: 200°F to 425°F, adjustable. 425°F is enough for proper grill marks on a steak.
Q: Can I use it on a balcony or outdoors?
A: It is an indoor electric appliance. Keep it indoors and away from moisture.
Q: Is there a warranty?
A: Yes - Brentwood publishes a 1-year manufacturer warranty for this model.
Care & Use▼
- Remove the temperature control probe BEFORE cleaning. The unit cannot be immersed with it attached.
- The drip pan and base are dishwasher safe. The ceramic grilling surface is NOT - wipe it with a damp cloth once cool.
- Empty the drip pan after every use. Standing fat is what causes smoke on the next cook.
- Use silicone, wood or nylon utensils. Metal will damage the ceramic non-stick surface.
- Use indoors only, on a heat-resistant surface, with clearance above and around the grill.
