Electric grills are a safe and efficient way to grill food, with different types available for indoor and outdoor use. They are easy to use and store, and come in a range of prices.
As a popular alternative to charcoal or gas grilling, the electric grill has gained a lot of attention over the past couple of decades as an efficient and safe way to grill all types of foods. Here are some facts about electric grills, including different types and how to get the most out of your grill.
As a cooking device that uses electric heating elements instead of gas fires or a bed of hot charcoal as a heating medium, an electric grill offers quick and easy options for enjoying the taste of grilled foods without much hassle. Constructed with a grate that sits just above the electric heating elements, many types of grills have a drip pan located below the elements to catch any juices that run off the meat and other items during the cooking process.
Other types of grills will incorporate a deep grooved grill into the construction. Because the grate is positioned at a slight angle, the juices flow in a channel and down to the drip tray. Typically on nearly all models the drip pan is removable, so the drippings can be used to make gravies and sauces to go with the grilled items.
You can purchase an indoor electric grill and an outdoor electric BBQ grill. Many of the indoor grills are smaller and can actually be placed on the stovetop for use or even on a counter or table. This type of grill may be ideal for people who live in an apartment and may not have access to a backyard. Electric outdoor barbecues are available in different sizes.
For people with lots of space and who like to cook in the backyard, there are grills that easily prepare meat and vegetables for twelve or more people at once. At the same time, anyone with a small patio or deck can get standalone grills that take up very little floor space and still grill plenty of food for 3-4 people at a time.
One of the benefits of the electric grill is that the units can be plugged directly into an outlet. You don’t have to remember to collect the charcoal before you can grill. Plus, the grill is much easier to store during the winter months. Unlike the gas grill, which will require someone to disconnect the fuel source and then make sure the jet of gas is properly sealed off, you simply unplug the grill and rotate it to the storage area. Many models also have the self-cleaning feature found in kitchen ovens, which makes the process of cleaning the grate much easier as well.
Various types of electric grills can be found in most home improvement stores and general retail stores. Depending on the size and number of features you want for your grill, the price can range from little more than a good quality charcoal grill to the same cost as an indoor oven and range. With a grill that fits almost any pocket and space, it’s easy to enjoy the taste of your favorite grilled foods whenever you want.
