Despite the fact that picnics will have to be forgotten until spring, lovers of kebabs and steaks do not despair! After all, all these dishes can now be easily prepared at home.
Although electric grills have appeared relatively recently, they have already won the love of Russian consumers. Indeed, thanks to a variety of designs, a wide price range and the ability to cook both meat, fish and vegetable dishes, everyone can choose a model to their liking. But, before settling on a particular instance, carefully study the capabilities of the model you like. We will tell you what to look for before buying an electric grill.
Electric grill type
First, decide which model you need. There are contact and non-contact electric grills. Contact models provide for the frying of products located directly on the hot embossed ceramic surface. And in non-contact devices, food is placed on special skewers or a skewer and placed inside a special container with heated air.
Design
Then you need to find out which design of the electric grill is best for you.
Floor, for example, will be the perfect companion when cooking meat or fish outdoors. It will be possible to carry it out into the garden and bring it back in on its own. The main thing is that the extension cord is enough.
Desktop – the most compact type of electric grill. It does not take up much space and will fit into even the smallest kitchen. But, alas, large pieces of meat or fish cannot be cooked in it either.
Recessed more suitable for large enterprises, and it is in this that the popular grilled chicken is usually cooked. But experts do not recommend taking it specifically for the home, because the built-in electric grill will completely replace a modern oven with a similar function.
Functionality
It will not be superfluous to note that among the contact electric grills, one-sided (inexpensive and easy to operate), two-sided (they are fried on both sides and reduce the cooking time), universal (they are an order of magnitude higher, but they can simultaneously cook several types of products) are distinguished. In addition, do not forget about the power of the device, because the speed of cooking your dishes will depend on this, as well as about additional functions, such as the ready indicator, delayed start or automatic shutdown, which will greatly simplify the cooking process.
Experts recommend paying attention to those models of electric grills that have a removable tray and good power. After all, saving money on devices with low power, you will have to wait a long time for your food to cook.
