Each type of grill has its own advantages, and this time we will discuss when to choose an electric grill.
- Electric grills are suitable for those who like clean cooking. You don't have to worry about coals or ash removal.
- Electric grills are useful for those who want a tasty dinner but do not have the safety of an open fire. Electric grills can even be used on the balcony.
- Electric grills heat up in just 5-10 minutes, so they are ideal for those who want to cook lunch or dinner quickly.
- Electric grills are compact, portable and lightweight, making them ideal for those with limited space. Electric grills can fit on balconies, terraces and, if you have a good cooker hood, in your home kitchen.
- Electric grills have a non-stick grill coating, so there's almost no need to use extra fat, and they melt about 40% or more of the fat in the meat you're grilling. For this reason, this type of grill is popular with athletes: it makes the meat less fatty and retains a high protein content.
- The aluminium alloy body provides good wind protection for even cooking.
- Electric grills also have cooking surfaces that distribute the heat evenly and the temperature is easily controlled, so that, for example, a steak will cook evenly, without burnt or undercooked areas.
- If you want to add a smoky aroma to your food, use a smoking cylinder that needs to be filled with wood chips or fire herbs. You can smoke your food using the same cylinder when you want to smoke it hot. The most important condition for smoking is that electric grills have lids.
- Maintenance does not require special attention. After cooking, use a brush to wipe the still hot grates. The most important thing is not to use water to clean the electric grill. From time to time it is necessary to use a spatula to scrape off stuck-on food residues inside the grill and grease from the lid. Electric grills also have an easily accessible grease collection system with an aluminium grease container. This aluminium grease canister needs to be replaced when it becomes full. In fact, the grease management system is also important to keep the grease away from the heat source, thus preventing the food from igniting and sizzling.
- Electric grills are more environmentally friendly compared to other grills, emitting relatively very low levels of toxins.
The only thing to consider is this: if you want to take an electric grill with you on a trip, on a camping trip, think carefully - there must be an electrical outlet where you are going, so it will be more difficult to grill in the wild than at home.
