Bachelor griller

A bachelor griller, mini oven[1] or mini kitchen[2] is a countertop kitchen appliance about the size of a microwave oven but which can instead grill, bake, broil or roast food.

[3][4] It can be used to fry, bake and grill (American English: broil) foods.

These are steadystates, a combination of a potentiometer and a thermostat, which ensure that the temperature stays stable.

It has also been used as (and may have originated as) a brand name: the 1905 Journal of Gas Lighting, Water Supply & Sanitary Improvement (page 410) describes "illustrations of the firm's "Welcome" and "Bachelor" grillers, their "Vulcan" cooker, and an assortment of brass fittings for gas".

George Orwell used a bachelor griller in 1935 while sharing a flat with Rayner Heppenstall in Bloomsbury, London.
