A modern oven is a set of various options designed to perform certain tasks. Many potential buyers will certainly be interested in the grill mode in the oven. What is it - a necessity or a fad, why is it needed, what happens, how to use it, is it so important for cooking? Only knowing the answers to the above questions, you can purchase a high-quality multifunctional kitchen appliance.
Grill features
Fans of a golden crust will certainly appreciate the equipment equipped with a grill. Today, almost all models of modern ovens are equipped with such a thermal element - from large multifunctional to mini-devices. The grill is an additional heat element located at the top of the device. Its main task is to create a high temperature, which allows to achieve a crispy crust on products. It is important to note that the food prepared in this way remains tender and juicy inside. The grill is gas, electric or infrared. The latter is most often found in electric ovens.
This device is used for cooking meat, fish, vegetables. The answer to the question was yes, do you need a grill in the oven, lovers of toasts, hamburgers, hot sandwiches. If there is no time for a trip out of town, a delicious aromatic kebab can be grilled at home without any problems. This mode can be both primary and secondary. In the second case, a practically prepared dish is only slightly fried on the grill at the end of cooking to obtain a golden crust.
Types of grill:
- gas;
- electric.
The first option is found in ovens with a fairly modest set of functions - gas. Typically, a burner is located at the bottom of the appliance to quickly heat the cabinet. Grill is used, if necessary, to fry food or brown the dish. This heating element is located in the upper part of the cabinet. The problem with gas ovens is the lack of air circulation. Previously, the solution to this issue was slightly open during cooking.
Many modern ovens are equipped with convection mode. Thanks to the built-in fan, the hot air inside the device moves as evenly as possible. Devices with this type of grill sometimes have an additional element - a skewer. Although after applying it, you will have to spend more effort on cleaning the device, but the dish will cook equally well from all sides. If there is no such device, the cooking food must be regularly turned over.
A grill in an electric oven can use two types of heater: electric or infrared. In the first case, the role of the heating element is played by an electric spiral, in the second - a halogen lamp. Both options work by connecting the device to the mains. An electric grill is often equipped with a timer that automatically completes the cooking process. A grill that uses heat from halogen lamps for heating is heated and cooled faster, therefore it is considered the safest and most economical.
The electric grill is very convenient to use. Thanks to the presence of a fan and convection function, dishes are cooked quickly and evenly. The use of a spit in the presence of forced or wet convection is optional. There are no restrictions on the assortment of products used: any dishes that are cooked on an ordinary grill can also be cooked in electric.
Grill types
Grills are:
- usual in the form of a zigzag;
- with two circuits;
- turbo grill.
The first option equally affects the entire lattice. Products can be laid out over the entire area without worrying that they will not bake in any place. Cooking is best done at the upper levels, installing a baking tray for fat accumulation from below. For laying products, you can use not only traditional baking sheets, but also pans, baking dishes and other utensils. The use of skewers is ideal for baking chicken, large pieces of pork, veal. Foods prepared in this way resemble food baked on charcoal.
The second is considered more economical, consists of a small and large, located around the perimeter, contour. Small outwardly resembles a regular zigzag ten, it is used to prepare a small amount of food, and both include if the dish occupies the entire lattice. The heating element is located on the top of the oven.
The peculiarity of the small grill is that when it is used, only the middle section of the entire heater is turned on. It is important to remember that he uses a lower temperature for cooking. In addition, the products must be placed directly under the section, otherwise they will not be fully prepared. This feature is ideal for cooking sausages, toast, sandwiches, a small number of dishes or flat-shaped products. Small grill is an ideal solution for the final stage of baking, that is, giving the dish a fragrant crisp crust.
The turbo grill involves the joint operation of the upper grill and the built-in fan. Such a function is present primarily in an electric oven. Even with a large and small grill, this function is very popular, as it allows you to cook large portions and fairly large products (piglet, poultry meat, etc.). The presence of a fan helps distribute heat evenly throughout the pan. This mode differs from the previous two by the cooking temperature. If small / large use 240, then the turbo grill is 170 degrees. An additional plus is the refusal of the skewer, because the heat in the cabinet spreads as evenly as possible. In addition, cooked food does not dry out at all.
Today, many consumers opt for electric grills. Although the gas version is cheaper, the electric one involves more precise temperature control. This moment is very important for modern hostesses.
A first-class oven is an expensive technique, the choice of which must be approached with all responsibility.
It’s important even before going to the distribution network to decide what food to cook, perhaps the appliance is needed only for heating ready meals, what set of useful options you would like to have, whether you need a grill function in the oven, and what amount you are ready to pay for such a technique. Those who like to indulge in their homemade delicacies should prefer a multifunctional technique; for busy people, we recommend choosing ovens equipped with automatic programs.
