Recently, in a slow cooker it has become possible to prepare grill dishes. The company's developers were the first to release a universal gadget that is used with any heat-resistant container with a diameter of 22.5 cm. This is the Redmond RAG-241 aerogrill.
Reviews show that it can be used not only with a multicooker bowl. A cast-iron or glass pan, ordinary dishes, or even a bowl - the device will really fit any container, but provided that it can withstand high temperatures.
New replacement for old appliances
The Redmond mobile universal grill assistant has replaced itself in the kitchen:
- ordinary electric grill ;
- an oven;
- a microwave;
- toaster;
- convection electric oven.
There is a saving in family budget and space in the kitchen. There is no need to purchase everything separately. You can only buy an air grill and enjoy cooking.
The complete set of the device
The Redmond air grill is delivered in a company box. Included with it are also:
- two gratings having a diameter of 19 cm and a height of 2 and 6 cm;
- lattice 16 cm in diameter and 2 cm high;
- special forceps;

By installing two grills at once in the container, you can cook meat and side dishes at the same time, which is convenient and economical. If you use book recipes, remember that when using frozen foods, you need to increase the cooking time.
The market value of the device today is 2999 rubles.
What does a universal grill look like?
Redmond rag-241 integrated in a glass lid and consists of an environmentally friendly halogen heater, a fan and two rotary knobs for adjusting operating time and temperature. The bowl that is available in standard appliances is missing here.
The grill cover of Redmond RAG-241 is equipped with a handle that performs the functions of a switch \ switch of the device. In the lowered position of the handle it works, and if you need to stop the cooking process - just raise it.
Principle of operation
It is the ease of use that makes Redmond RAG-241 aerogrill so popular. The feedback from numerous users is one in one: the device is easy to use. You just need to put the products on the grill, set the time, and the air grill will do everything by itself.
Heat treatment of the product occurs during the circulation of hot air flows. When choosing a container, it must be taken into account that there must be at least 2 cm above the grill and the cooked product. Otherwise, during cooking, the food will burn from above and will not bake inside.
The temperature range from 125 to 250 degrees allows you to cook as tender vegetables, and bake pork or veal. There is a convenient defrosting function, and the possibility of auto-cleaning makes the device as convenient to use as possible.
It is interesting to observe the process, as the heater glows. When a certain temperature is reached, the light goes out, then lights up again. So you can see the degree of readiness of products, and the “light music” makes cooking fun.

Security measures
Like any heater, the Redmond air grill lid requires precautions when used.

- In order not to burn yourself, do not touch the bowl and the appliance.
- The surface on which the aerogrill stands should be flat and stable.

- To prevent injury, do not allow children to operate the appliance.
The silicone mat included in the kit will prevent slipping and heating of the table surface, and will also allow you to safely use the Redmond RAG-241 air grill.
In addition, it must be remembered that the cooking time of some products is long. Therefore, interruptions in the power supply network or a voltage drop can negatively affect the cooking process and make it longer.
The air grill has a self-cleaning function, which is very convenient and takes less time than washing the oven. Since the parting is very hot, it should be put in order after it has completely cooled down.
Cooking secrets
You can cook almost any dish in the air grill. Such a process takes half the time than cooking on a stove or in an ordinary pan. A similar effect is achieved due to intensive blowing of products by hot air flows. Pastries in the air grill turn out to be rosy and lush, vegetables and fish - tender, aromatic and juicy.
If pork or beef is cooked, then the fat flows to the bottom of the bowl, and the dish becomes dietary. The minimum amount of oil or its absence at all is the technology of cooking products using a device such as Redmond RAG-241 air grill. Grilled mackerel recipes , for example, do not require oil at all. Fatty meats can be cooked in conjunction with a side dish - potatoes or vegetables. To do this, a “pan” with sides is made of foil so that vegetables absorb all the aromas.
If the recipe provides for stewed vegetables, they are prepared and pre-baked in an air grill. Caviar, sauté or stew is very tasty.
Few of the beginning cooks, having acquired an air grill, know that it can bake meat and vegetables in ceramic pots. But this is not only tasty, but also healthy food. In order to get the dish in this way at the exit, one must act as when cooking in an ordinary oven. Place food in a pot and place it in a bowl on a wire rack.
Some brochures and brochures for the appliance indicate a function such as steaming. However, judging by the reviews, the Redmond RAG-241 aerogrill weakly copes with this function. It is better, of course, to entrust this to a slow cooker or a double boiler. In addition, it is inconvenient to warm small portions in the air grill.
What else does this device do "excellently"? Sun-dried tomatoes are delicious and fragrant. Also, the air grill copes with drying, for example, mushrooms or greens. Many housewives use it to sterilize glass jars during the preservation period. Using the universal miracle lid, you can cook a lot of interesting dishes from meat, fish and vegetables, bake in foil, create desserts, cook porridges and soups.
Want to become a professional in the kitchen? The Redmond RAG-241 aerogrill will help you with this. Reviews show that cooking food for a large company at a time is unlikely to succeed, but dinner for 2-3 people can easily handle this appliance.
