Hot-air grills

In an electrical hot-air grill of a type comprising a chassis, a grilling compartment supported on the chassis and bounded by an upper shell and a lower shell, which may be separated from each other to open the grilling compartment, a blowing and heating apparatus mounted on the chassis and arranged to blow hot air into the grilling compartment, an improvement wherein the upper shell is supported removably on a frame, which is mounted pivotally to the chassis, so as to be removable from the frame without it being necessary to release a fastening element and so as to be pivotable up and down about a transverse axis, which is located so as to provide that the grilling compartment is opened when the upper shell thus is pivoted up and closed when the upper shell thus is pivoted down and that condensate dripping from the inner side of the upper shell tends to drip mostly into the lower shell but not onto outer portions of the electrical hot-air grill when the grilling compartment is opened.
