When you remem­ber the smell of bar­be­cue and its rich taste, you imme­di­ate­ly want to go to nature. There is a feel­ing of cel­e­bra­tion and fun, but what if the weath­er is bad out­side, and the soul asks for fra­grant meat? Even rains and win­ter frosts will not inter­fere with real gourmets! An elec­tric bar­be­cue grill will help you pre­pare a deli­cious shish kebab accord­ing to a sig­na­ture recipe. A small device will take care of all the has­sle.

What is an electric grill

An elec­tric bar­be­cue grill is a house­hold appli­ance in which the cook­ing process is as close as pos­si­ble to the bar­be­cue. It con­sists of a heat­ing ele­ment, 5–10 rotat­ing skew­ers and a con­trol but­ton. The more rods, the more capa­cious the tech­nique. There are mod­els with a spit for cook­ing a whole chick­en or a large piece of meat. Uni­form heat­ing of prod­ucts and con­stant rota­tion of skew­ers allow you to get a deli­cious dish with a per­fect crust at the end. This applies not only to bar­be­cue meat, but also from fish, veg­eta­bles and mush­rooms.

A tray for fat and juice is struc­tural­ly pro­vid­ed, which facil­i­tates the care of the device. Man­u­fac­tur­ers offer mod­i­fi­ca­tions with a com­plete­ly closed ther­mal pro­tec­tive screen, which is part of the body, or only half. For ease of use, some mod­els are equipped with tongs for remov­ing bar­be­cue.

How to choose an electric grill

House­hold assis­tants are pur­chased for many years, so their choice must be approached respon­si­bly. To choose the right mod­el, you should decide on the fol­low­ing con­fig­u­ra­tions.

Electric barbecue or electric grill

Both options are rec­om­mend­ed for home use. To enjoy deli­cious dish­es, you do not need to buy fire­wood or coals, the appli­ances are mains pow­ered.

Con­sid­er the main sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences:

What are electric grills

There are two types of elec­tric grills — ver­ti­cal and hor­i­zon­tal.

vertical

Mod­els belong to home options and out­ward­ly look like a cylin­der. A heat­ing ele­ment is locat­ed in the cen­ter or on the side, and around there are racks with rotat­ing skew­ers (4–11 pcs.). Below there is a spe­cial con­tain­er for flow­ing fat. The fry­ing cham­ber is insu­lat­ed with a met­al cov­er or glass.

The prin­ci­ple of oper­a­tion is sim­ple: when the device is start­ed, the heat­ing ele­ment heats up, and the racks with meat begin to rotate auto­mat­i­cal­ly. The heat that accu­mu­lates in the cham­ber is reflect­ed from the met­al walls of the lid, which allows the dish to fry even­ly on all sides.

Pros and cons

Horizontal

Out­ward­ly, they resem­ble the usu­al bar­be­cue grills. This option is more often used in restau­rants and cafes due to its large size. The prin­ci­ple of oper­a­tion is sim­i­lar to the pre­vi­ous view, but the heat­ing ele­ment is locat­ed in a hor­i­zon­tal posi­tion (in the mid­dle or on the side). Not all elec­tric bar­be­cues have the func­tion of auto­mat­i­cal­ly turn­ing the skew­ers, so you have to spend time and mon­i­tor the prepa­ra­tion of the dish. A sin­gle load can be up to 24 rods.

Pros and cons

Power

The indi­ca­tor affects the speed of cook­ing prod­ucts. There are mod­els on the mar­ket with pow­er from 700 to 2500 watts. For home use, devices with an aver­age of 1000 watts are suit­able. This will save on ener­gy con­sump­tion and cook meals with­in 20–40 min­utes, depend­ing on the type of meat.

Electric heater type

A cast met­al tube (TEN) is found in most elec­tric bar­be­cues. The ele­ment is char­ac­ter­ized by grad­ual heat­ing and high heat dis­si­pa­tion. How­ev­er, it is cost­ly in terms of ener­gy con­sump­tion.

Appli­ances with an infrared elec­tric ele­ment heat up in sec­onds and cook food quick­ly. These char­ac­ter­is­tics jus­ti­fy ener­gy sav­ings.

Ceram­ic heaters reach oper­at­ing tem­per­a­ture imme­di­ate­ly. They are usu­al­ly enclosed in a glass flask and are easy to clean. The ele­ments are durable, eco­nom­i­cal, but more expen­sive than oth­er options.

>

>

Heater placement

The most con­ve­nient loca­tion is in the cen­ter of the work­ing cham­ber. Heat comes from the ele­ment, which ensures uni­form fry­ing of prod­ucts rotat­ing around it. Side heaters do the same job just as well.

Number of skewers

House­hold mod­els are com­pact and designed to cook 4–11 serv­ings of bar­be­cue per cycle. The length of the skew­ers varies between 20–42 cm. When choos­ing a kebab mak­er, it is nec­es­sary to take into account the num­ber of rods and their height, so you can deter­mine the max­i­mum load. For a fam­i­ly of three, a tech­nique with 8 ele­ments of medi­um length is suit­able.

Rotation frequency

Hor­i­zon­tal and some ver­ti­cal mod­els are equipped with a rotat­ing plat­form. Option­al­ly, the rods can rotate around their axis. The fre­quen­cy of their move­ment aver­ages 2.5–3 rpm. Pre­mi­um mod­els do up to 12 rpm.

Material

Alu­minum skew­ers are light (2–3 kg), but are sub­ject to mechan­i­cal stress, dents with a care­less atti­tude. Stain­less steel mod­els are durable and wear-resis­tant, easy to clean. Sep­a­rate struc­tur­al ele­ments can be made of heat-resis­tant plas­tic: han­dles, hold­ers, stand, but­tons. The pro­tec­tive screen is made of steel or glass, which affects the com­fort of use.

Equipment

Mid-range mod­els come with skew­ers and saucers to col­lect fat and juice. More expen­sive options are equipped with grills for cook­ing fish, a skew­er for roast­ing a whole chick­en. Some bar­be­cue grills are equipped with clamps — they fix pieces of food and pre­vent them from slid­ing down.

Additional functionality

To cre­ate com­fort­able oper­at­ing con­di­tions, man­u­fac­tur­ers have added addi­tion­al options to the devices: auto­mat­ic rota­tion, timer, sound sig­nal and indi­ca­tion, ther­mo­stat, auto-off. Use­ful func­tion­al­i­ty makes cook­ing as easy as pos­si­ble, but affects the price of house­hold appli­ances.

Expert review of electric barbecue grills

She shared her per­son­al expe­ri­ence of using an elec­tric bar­be­cue grill Ele­na Pishchug­i­naexpert mer­chan­dis­er:

“I use a 1000W elec­tric grill. The kit includes 5 skew­ers with heat-resis­tant han­dles, which can hold up to 1 kg of blanks. Trays are installed under each rod to col­lect fat. The cen­tral elec­tric heater is pro­tect­ed by a glass flask. The elec­tric bar­be­cue has no addi­tion­al options, only basic ones: auto­mat­ic rota­tion, Start-Stop but­ton.

I cook all kinds of meat in the elec­tric bar­be­cue grill: beef, pork, lamb, chick­en, turkey and fish. The fin­ished prod­uct turns out to be tasty, but, unfor­tu­nate­ly, with­out the char­ac­ter­is­tic smell of smoke, like bar­be­cue grilled. Liq­uid smoke can solve this prob­lem.

If you install skew­ers already in a heat­ed elec­tric bar­be­cue, then the meat will not turn out dry — a quick­ly formed crust will retain all the juices.
