Health enthusiasts praise cooking appliance that helps with 'portion control'

Health enthusiasts are praising Drew and Cole's 5-Minute Cleverchef Deluxe, with some noting it as ideal for small portions. This versatile hot plate-style gadget can be used to whip up everything from eggs to pancakes and toasties.

The 5-Minute Cleverchef Deluxe by Drew and Cole is available for £49.99 on Yimbly (a marketplace owned by The Express's parent company, Reach Plc). Throughout July, shoppers can get 10% off by using the discount code SUMMERDAYS10, bringing the price down to £45.

The appliance comes equipped with three easy-to-swap plates, including an omelette plate, a grill plate perfect for paninis and meats, and a waffle plate. The non-stick surface of the plates allows users to cut down on the amount of oil or butter needed in their cooking, The Mirror reports.

Users have also praised it as a great product for one person, with one review stating: "Useful for small portions - ideal for people living alone. Easy to use and clean."

Yimbly also offers a smaller version of the CleverChef on sale for £29.99, usually £39.99 (£26.99 with the discount code SUMMERDAYS10 applied); however, this model does not feature interchangeable plates.

For those seeking alternatives, Currys stocks the renowned George Foreman Flexe Grill for £59.99. Another option is Ninja's Sizzle Pro XL Grill and Flat Plate, which is available for £179.99.

The expansive grilling surface accommodates up to ten burgers, various cuts of chicken, or salmon fillets. This particular model is designed exclusively for outdoor use.

This grill requires minimal to no oil and features a built-in drip tray to catch any excess fat. The 5-Minute Cleverchef Deluxe by Drew and Cole can be purchased from Littlewoods for £46.99, where potential buyers can peruse more than one thousand ratings and reviews.

One Littlewoods customer left a detailed review: "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."

Another shopper said: "It's a great product for a single person or quick snack. My dad had one, and now both my sister and I have one. It works quickly, is easy to clean, and doesn't take up much cupboard space."

However, another purchaser expressed disappointment with the gadget, stating: "It's okay, but not quite what I expected. It's a bit small, and it doesn't cook well."

A further buyer said: "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."

A fellow shopper echoed this sentiment: "I use it every day, and due to its size, it is helping with portion control, so I'm not eating as much as I used to."
