Rating with characteristics of the best electric grills: models in the TOP 10+5

Electric grill – household kitchen appliance, which allows you to fry various products on electrically heated grilling panels, between them or on skewers.

Grills are used to prepare fish, meat, sandwiches, shawarma, vegetables, and in some models, pizza and dough. It is also used for heating dishes or maintaining their temperature after cooking.

Advantages of household electric grills

• 

  The ability to cook food without fat or with a minimum amount of it (all modern grill models have a non-stick coating);
• removal of excess fat during frying;
• preserving more nutrients in foods thanks to the fast cooking of dishes (especially between two grilling panels);
• the ability to cook several products at once without extra cookware;
• transportability – the device is convenient for use while traveling.

What are the differences between modern models?

• Power. The higher it is, the faster you can fry food. At the same time, the device also becomes more energy-intensive.
• Availability of removable panels. They make it easier to clean the grill.
• Size. There are models that are convenient for one or two people, as well as those that can be used to feed a large family or company at once.
• Functionality. Grills can be used in closed mode (cooking takes place between the plates), some - also in open mode 180 degrees view.

This results in larger frying surface. A number of models also have other additional panels.

Cooking is possible with the upper surface hanging over the surface without touching the food, which allows you to bake pizza and cheese sandwiches. Toasters and waffle irons are built into some versions.

There are also models with one frying surface, sometimes these are floor-standing barbecue grills.

• Control. Some models do not even have a power button. The cord of such a device is inserted into the socket, and after cooking is finished, it is pulled out of it. Models with a timer and temperature control, electronic control and other additional features are more convenient.
• Design. Since the grill can be used in the presence of guests, this parameter is important for many consumers. Along with very simple models, the market offers table grills with a unique design, as well as floor grills-barbecues that attract everyone's attention.
• Price. The difference between the price of the cheapest and the most expensive electric grills can be as much as 10 or more times.
