The benefits of using an air grill are tantamount to using high-tech multicookers. In fact, both mechanisms can quickly prepare food while preserving all its beneficial properties. Moreover, the main feature of the air grill is its method of frying, which occurs without adding oil. Thus, the food becomes the most useful and rich in vitamins, which with normal frying simply disappear. However, in order for the air grill to bring only benefit, it is necessary to know certain selection and purchase criteria. So how to choose an air grill?
Expert Reviews on Cooking Modes
It should be noted that this tool can be designed not only for homemade dishes, but also for cooking barbecue. The versatility of the air grill is determined by the number of its functions. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to the modes in which this or that device is capable of working. As a rule, air grills have 10 functions, but there are more functional devices. Accordingly, the price for them will not be cheap, so decide in advance exactly how you will use this equipment so as not to overpay “for air”.
Aerogrill: how to choose? Pay attention to the sizes
After you decide on the required number of functions, think about where and in which place in the kitchen the device will work. Do not choose too large, as it may not fit on a shelf and will only bother you. Therefore, compactness is the second point that is precisely appreciated in "multi-ovens" under the name "air grills".
How to choose the optimal volume of the bowl?
An important point is the number of people for whom you will cook food. If the volume in the device instructions is indicated by two digits, do not be alarmed. Just the bowl can be further increased with the help of special rings (they, as a rule, are already included in the air grills).
How to choose the number of fan modes and device weight?
Each air grill is equipped with a special fan, which can have from 1 to 3 operating modes. It is best to choose the device with the highest number, that is, 2 or 3. Also pay attention to whether the device has an automatic heating function. Its presence makes the use of the mechanism more convenient and simple to operate. But this is not all the criteria by which air grills are selected. How to choose the weight of the device? It should be noted that heavy devices will be much more difficult to wash, so before you buy, feel if you can hold this mechanism in your hands. And just during operation, weight plays a significant role. Not every housewife will like to drag a heavy air grill daily from one place to another.
How to choose (price is our last aspect) we have already found out this mechanism, now about the cost.
Cost
It can be an average of 2.5 to 10 thousand rubles. The price largely depends on the brand of the manufacturer, a variety of functions and modes of operation of the fan. Some hot grills cost up to 50 thousand rubles, but such “super-sophisticated” devices are unlikely to be fully utilized even in everyday use.
