Kitchen appli­ances in the mod­ern world are rep­re­sent­ed by a wide vari­ety of vari­a­tions. More and more peo­ple pre­fer one that can com­bine sev­er­al func­tions at once: to be a mul­ti­cook­er, a toast­er, and a bra­zier at the same time. The air grill is such a device.

The air grill is a mul­ti­func­tion­al and com­pact device that will fit even in small kitchens. With it, you can cook first, sec­ond cours­es and desserts. The main advan­tage of the device is that the ingre­di­ents are processed with hot air, so they retain most of the vit­a­mins and ben­e­fi­cial prop­er­ties.

The elec­tri­cal appli­ance is a bowl made of refrac­to­ry glass, under which there is a fan and a heat­ing ele­ment. The vol­ume of the con­tain­er can be dif­fer­ent — from 2 to 20 liters. Grids and trays can be installed inside, which will expand the range of dish­es for cook­ing.

There are sim­ple and mul­ti­func­tion­al air grills with elec­tron­ic and mechan­i­cal con­trol. Uni­ver­sal grills, unlike sim­ple ones, have a num­ber of use­ful options:

• timer;
• the abil­i­ty to select the cook­ing mode;
• auto pow­er off;
• pre-heat­ing;
• tem­per­a­ture con­trol;
• over­heat pro­tec­tion;
• rota­tion on a spit.

Togeth­er with experts Vladimir Golo­vanov and Olga Makee­va, in our rat­ing we will talk about dif­fer­ent mod­els, focus­ing on pos­i­tive cus­tomer reviews.

How to choose an aerogrill

The range of such devices for the kitchen is very large. But be care­ful when buy­ing. How to choose the best aero­grill, the sous-chef of the restau­rant told us Olga Makee­va. She focus­es on the fol­low­ing points.

Purpose

Decide what you will cook. If it’s just a bar­be­cue, veg­eta­bles, some­thing plain — take the most com­mon mod­el. If you plan to bake some­thing, bake, make piz­za, some exquis­ite mas­ter­pieces — look at the options, choose a more com­pli­cat­ed device.

The size of the container and air fryer

If you have a small kitch­enette, then a huge appa­ra­tus is not need­ed there. With a large room, you can choose some­thing large-scale. In some mod­els, an expan­sion ring is includ­ed, which can increase the vol­ume of the flask by one and a half times. This is also an inter­est­ing option. The main thing to remem­ber is what you plan to cook. If for a small num­ber of peo­ple, then you do not need large con­tain­ers.

Equipment

Nice bonus. In addi­tion to the expan­sion ring, these can be tongs, grills, bak­ing sheets, skew­ers, a stand, a poul­try roast­er. Such ele­ments will not be super­flu­ous. A recipe book, of course, where with­out it?

Functional

Watch for a set of auto­mat­ic pro­grams. If they are, then that’s good. It is impor­tant to have a timer. It is desir­able that it be cal­cu­lat­ed in time not less than an hour. Some mod­els have tem­per­a­ture con­trol, pre­heat­ing — all this will help you cope with the con­vec­tion oven with­out any has­sle. Watch for fan modes. If there are three of them, then it’s good.

Lid

With a remov­able one, you will get a mod­el with small­er dimen­sions. But it can be less con­ve­nient with it, because it heats up dur­ing cook­ing. The cov­er on a spe­cial brack­et is more func­tion­al.

Appliance power

It depends on how the cook­ing will go. If the air grill, for exam­ple, is up to 8 liters, then a pow­er of 800 watts is enough. For large vol­umes, more pow­er­ful mod­els are need­ed.

Heating element

There are three of them — halo­gen, car­bon and met­al heat­ing ele­ments. Each has its pros and cons. But there are no sig­nif­i­cant dif­fer­ences here. Depends in gen­er­al on the mod­el and its cor­rect use.
