8 main criteria to be guided by when buying a grill, as well as new useful features.
A juicy steak, like in your favorite restaurant, is the dream of all meat lovers. Choosing a press grill using the recommendations on the Internet is not an option. Many people believe the reviews of inexperienced buyers and, as a result, are disappointed in the products of this category. Let’s try to understand the proposed models and learn how to distinguish a high-quality grill press using the model as an example. .
Power
The first thing you should pay attention to is the power of the device. To keep the steak juicy, the grill must keep the heating panels high at all times. According to this criterion, we choose grills with a capacity of 1800 W and above. The power of the PGP 3002DP Optimal Temp grill is 2200 W – more than enough. For temperature control, the PGP 3002DP Optimal Temp model has three built-in temperature sensors.
Smart management
Often, owners of a grill press are faced with the fact that the device does not take into account the peculiarities of meat, its thickness and fiber structure. Meat hardness, pretreatment and temperature are important details that affect the quality and taste of the finished steak. But this problem has already been solved by Polaris engineers. In the model there is a special Smart-control with 9 automatic programs. The grill press determines the thickness of the steak and allows you to achieve the perfect result at the touch of a button. The roast indicators show the readiness of the meat on the display: Rare, Medium or Well-Done.
Not only grill, but also barbecue
The grill press is not a subject for individual use. In modern models, it is possible to open the panels by 180 degrees, thereby increasing the working surface by 2 times. The advantages are obvious: in the “barbecue” position, you can cook dinner for a large company and at the same time fry fish, meat and vegetables without mixing their tastes.
Material
There are stainless steel or enamel grills. However, these models have a very short lifespan. To fry steaks without adding oil, choose models with a non-stick coating.
On the reinforced panels are installed. A special double-sided ceramic coating prevents food from burning and promotes even frying.
To prolong the life of your countertops, do not use knives, forks, or other metal utensils to turn or remove food, or cut the food on the grill.
Removable panels
Grills with fixed panels are difficult and time-consuming to clean. You will have to try very hard not to wet the device itself and at the same time thoroughly wash the pallets. Just a few of these cleanings will completely discourage grilling.
Polaris PGP 3002DP Optimal Temp has removable panels that are dishwasher safe. To do this, it is enough to detach the panels by pressing a special button on the outside of the case.
Fat container
The working surfaces of the Polaris PGP 3002DP Optimal Temp grill have channels for grease to drain into the pan. A useful function for those who care about health and shape. Meat products can be quite fatty. After cooking, the tray can be removed and easily washed under the tap or in the dishwasher.
Temperature regulator
There are models that operate on only one power. Therefore, some products cannot be cooked on such grills, they will burn quickly. The device must have a temperature regulator. At low temperatures, you can reheat food and also make excellent toast. On medium to cook vegetables, on high – to fry meat.
Ergonomics
Comfortable handle, non-heating materials, safe coating – all these requirements are an important component of not only the appearance of the device, but also safety.
Grill press has a clever design, the handle is made of non-heating extruded aluminum. The heat-resistant glass cover does not overheat and is easy to clean.
