It turns out that you can fry a kebab with comfort.
The number of bans on the use of open fire is growing every year. Today it can be a problem to fry kebabs not only in the forest, but also on your own plot. An environmentally friendly and convenient solution is a portable grill.
You can choose a coal, gas or electric apparatus, which will allow you to spend time in nature comfortably and tasty.
What should be a gas grill, what to look for when buying and what dishes to cook on this device, says Irina Aleinikova, head of the Garden category of the Leroy Merlin hypermarket chain.

There is an opinion that everyone’s favorite barbecue flavor is obtained only on coals. But this is a delusion. The haze effect of a barbecue is created by dripping fat and juice from cooking food, which burns down from the grate onto a hot surface. In a gas grill, special metal plates perform this function. Therefore, the taste, smell and quality of the dishes are the same as those on charcoal.
At the same time, the gas grill can be used without special skills (not forgetting, of course, safety precautions) – it’s like turning on the stove in the kitchen.
It is easy to pick it up from the store by yourself and take it away by car. By the way, such a “field kitchen” can be taken with you on long trips to nature. The device is easy to assemble according to the instructions, and you do not need to buy anything additionally, except for a gas cylinder, which needs to be refilled as needed.
Unlike a charcoal grill, you can quickly start cooking on a gas grill: press a button, turn on the burners, wait 10 minutes – and you’re done. The gas cylinder is mounted on a special stand and securely fixed with straps. If desired, the grill can be easily moved to any place on the site. By the way, this is a great option for summer terraces. One has only to take into account that you cannot cook on a gas grill indoors, therefore it is not suitable for glazed verandas.
The device is equipped with a thermometer that monitors the desired temperature. Multiple burners allow different areas of the grate to be heated to different temperatures. There is a chip container if you want to make delicious and aromatic smoked meats.
The grill has a simple and convenient cleaning system. The kit includes a built-in grease collector that is easy to reach and clean. You can just as easily clean the cone-shaped metal plates from which fat and juice drip.
When choosing a grill, pay attention to the material of the body, lid and grill. It is better if it is thick stainless steel. Choose a porcelain enamel coating that reliably protects the lid and body from external influences (do not forget about the weather). A clear advantage – the handles made of heat-resistant plastic and durable all-season wheels. Check the ignition system – the burners should start easily.
Also pay attention to the number of grill accessories that the manufacturer produces. The enclosed kit will allow you to embody the most interesting culinary fantasies in the future without restrictions.
Do not be lazy to open the Internet and study customer reviews about the grill option you are interested in – many people willingly share their experience of using the technique in blogs and on the store’s website.
Once you’ve decided on your grill model and are ready to make your purchase, last but not least is to check that the device has an official certification. Only the grills officially imported into Russia are designed for the Russian gas consumption standard, the fastening of the reducers (it maintains the required pressure level) and their cross-section. In the best case, “gray” imports simply will not work on Russian gas and reducers, and in the worst case, it can even lead to tragic consequences if they are incorrectly connected to the cylinder.
A quality gas grill is a multifunctional device. For example, he can successfully completely replace the kitchen in the country. It can be used to fry meat, vegetables, seafood both on an open wire rack and with a closed lid. In this case, the oven mode works and the heat remains, which envelops the food from all sides. By the way, the lid allows you not to get attached to cooking – you put the food in, covered it with a lid, timed the time and did other things.
Thanks to the grill lid, you can not only fry, but also bake and smoke. The round removable grill in the center allows you to put a cauldron with pilaf, a frying pan with chips or a pizza stone. You can even grill desserts. And if the device has an additional gas burner on the side, then you can easily cook sauce, soup or any other dish.
Multiple burners allow you to use direct and indirect heat and cook foods at different cooking temperatures. There is also an additional removable shelf for warming up, on which you can put, for example, already cooked vegetables, so that they do not cool down, or remove a piece of meat from high heat so that it does not burn and calmly reach readiness.
The device is equipped with an additional table where you can put something during the cooking process. In addition, pliers hooks and cleaning brushes are usually included.
A gas grill is a miracle in the country, if you decide to eat right, but at the same time want to save time and have a good rest. The dishes are juicy and aromatic, and even a beginner can handle them. The device does not require complex maintenance, it is convenient and safe to use. You can regularly pamper your family and guests with delicious, aromatic, varied and healthy dishes.
