Today, the grill is not only an invariable attribute of cottages and country houses, but also ordinary apartments in high-rise buildings. To enjoy a hot steak, it is not necessary to go outdoors. It is enough to purchase an electric grill "Bork". Potential buyers are interested not only in the technical capabilities of such a technique, but also in the reviews of the owners: what features grills have and what kind of dishes you can cook on them.
What is a grill for?
It's no secret that the meat fried in a pan can hardly be called useful and dietary. Indeed, in 90% of cases, oil is required for its preparation. Quite another matter - meat cooked on the grill or grill in the open air.
In terms of taste, it turns out no worse, especially if you add seasoning (rosemary or red pepper) to it, and due to the lack of oil - much more useful. There are many grill companies. Models differ in power, appearance, plate design, control and price. Perhaps the most famous producer of grills can be considered the company "Bork". In this article, we consider the three most popular models of this company.
BORK G800
This is a 2.4 kW grill in a steel case. Of the features, one can note the mechanical control, represented by three handles:
- One sets the required temperature.
- The second is a timer that can be set in the range of 1 to 15 minutes. After the set period has passed, the device turns off.
- The third is responsible for the angle of inclination.
The upper working surface can be folded in 6 different positions, including at 180 degrees, ensuring the product is fried on an open grill. The device weighs a lot - 9 kg (due to the heavy steel case), but it can be folded compactly. It has a convenient carry handle.
The Bork electric grill of this model has a scratch-resistant non-stick coating that allows you to cook without oil. The heating elements are designed so that both work surfaces are heated evenly across the entire surface.
BORK G800 Reviews
In the line of the aforementioned company, the Bork G800 electric grill is the simplest in design. Reviews say that this model is very simple and reliable. Anyone can deal with the management principle. When cooking, just set the time and temperature. The surface heats up very quickly, thanks to powerful heating elements. The meat is fried evenly over the entire surface of the piece and does not stick, thanks to a special non-stick coating.
The only drawback that the owners of this model note is fixed plates. After cooking, you have to wipe the corrugated surface manually instead of putting it in the dishwasher or soaking it under the tap. You can only wash it with a soft sponge, otherwise the coating will wear off faster and the products will begin to burn over time. Failures also occur occasionally. Claims mainly concern the fastening of the cover, which can become loose and stop holding over time. As for the management, it is very simple and reliable, does not cause complaints.
BORK G801
This model of electric grill is more functional than the previous one. It has a display on which all selected modes are displayed. As for the basic functions, they remain unchanged:
- power 2.4 kW;
- steel case;
- two work surfaces with a strong non-stick coating.
The temperature control handle allows you to adjust the degree of heating of the plates in the range of 160 - 230 degrees, and the selected values will immediately be displayed on the screen. Also on the display you can see the indication of inclusion and the selected duration.
Another feature is the presence of an intelligent control system that turns off the grill if it is not used for an hour. It is very easy to determine whether the equipment is in operation or not - just look at the display screen. If it is highlighted in orange - the technique is at work. If it glows blue, the grill is in standby mode. In the same way as in the previous model, the lid can open in several positions and fully recline. In this case, you can cook two different dishes on the grill - one on each side.

All that was said about the reliability of the Bork G800 grill can be said about this model. Rugged case, convenient carrying handle make it mobile. The fat collection tray is another feature that the Bork grill boasts. The instruction prohibits using the device without it. When grilling, all fat flows into the tray, especially if the working surface is raised at an angle. The result is a delicious dietary product.
The only nuance noted by the owners is that fat can drain outside the tray, staining the table and case. The electronic display attracts with its visibility, in addition to operating modes, it can see error messages on it. In general, the model fits well into the interior of the kitchen, looks modern and stylish. As the owners note, during the operation of the grill a strong smell is felt, therefore it is better to cook on it with open windows or next to the hood. Powerful, convenient, reliable, fast cooking - this is what customers say about this model.
BORK G802
This model is the most functional in the line of this company. Its main distinguishing feature is a temperature probe, which allows you to control the temperature of the meat and the degree of its roasting. The G802 grill has the same characteristics as the 801: 2.4 kW power, non-stick removable plates, display, the ability to fix the top cover in several positions.
Another feature is the ability to set the type of steak and the degree of roasting. When laying the products with the regulator, you can choose what will be baked: vegetables, fish, offal, etc. The program itself will select the optimal cooking temperature. Gourmets have the opportunity to choose the degree of frying for different types of products and get medium-baked vegetables or a steak with blood.
BORK G802 Reviews
G802 is not only the most functional, but also the most expensive model in the lineup. Therefore, it is purchased mainly by those who plan to constantly use the Bork grill. Reviews indicate that few people use all the features of this model. The first to throw the probe. As a rule, people are quickly tired of setting the temperature of each steak, not to mention the fact that it is not suitable for other products. If there are cavities in a piece of meat (for example, in a bird), the grill may give incorrect information, and the dish is not obtained as planned. The reliability, speed of cooking, ease of washing and operation of the owners have no complaints.
Delicious recipes
Of course, owners are primarily interested in what the Bork grill is capable of? Recipes for him are not difficult. On it, just like on any other grill, you can fry sausages, sliced vegetables and steaks in a marinade.
The simplest option is to salt and pepper pieces of meat, and then lay them on a heated work surface. The temperature and time must be set based on the recommendations in the instructions. Cover the meat and stand until ready. Another advantage of the Bork grill is that the side dish can be cooked at the same time as the steak. This is a big plus of this device. Ss
