Electric grills are a convenience for people who want the feel of a traditional barbecue grill but with a more time and energy-efficient device.
There is more than one type of electric grill available, to be chosen at the user's discretion. An advantage of all the types of electric grills is that cooking drains of the fat and the excess grease is drained down into fat pans. This minimizes the fat and calories in the food consumed.
Types of Electric Grill
1. Open Model Grills
Open model electric grills have the same feel as a traditional outdoor grill but does not produce food that have the charcoal taste that the conventional models unfortunately do.
The Disadvantage:
They produce a lot of smoke. If there are any fire alarms in the vicinity, they are prone to being triggered.
Advantages
When you look at the food cooked by an open model grill, you can instantly identify it as having been "grilled". This is because the grill marks are very distinct.
For an open model grill, the thickness of the meat is not a limitation. For thick slabs of meat, a contact grill will not be able to handle them, while the open model grill is capable of doing so. Even a whole chicken can be cooked by a open model electric grills. For the contact models, there is usually a limit of one inch thickness.
If the cook's takers or customers like their meat grilled in different ways- for example, rare, medium, or well-done, open model electric grills are more flexible to variety. Of course, part of this is the cook's own ability to judge the degree at which the meat is cooked, but with the open model electric grill, he has more control.
2. Contact Grills
Contact electric grills are named so because of its increased contact with the food, in fact, they appear to "sandwich" the food they are intended to cook. That means it is pressed in between two plates that have ridges, which cook from both the top and bottom. This makes it impossible to cook thicker portions of food, or to control the "doneness" of the meat, but it is very fast and efficient in cooking smaller portions.
Advantages
The contact models can be used as sandwich makers, apart from its usual grilling purposes.
They do not yield any smoke, and are safe in the presence of smoke or fire detectors. The only thing it does emit is occasional steam.
It takes less time to cook the food, since there is no need to flip it over. Cooking is being done from both sides simultaneously. Cooking time can be regulated.
3. Combination Type Grills
This type of grills is usually expensive. However, it has both the function of the open model type and the contact grill.
Whichever the type chosen by the cook, it is important to take safety precautions with the electric grills that apply to all kinds of electrical devices.
