If you have decided to make this kind of purchase, you must take into consideration the use you have to make (daily or weekly) and the place where you have to place the barbecue (garden, balcony, terrace). Based on the answers you give to these questions, you can choose the most suitable model, size, and material.
Barbecue Grills: Types and Sizes
Barbecue grills, according to use, are available in various shapes and sizes. There are around, square and rectangular grids, small and large, standard (bar), and flat surface. The grids can be portable, table-top, or integrated.
1.) Portable grills are easy to transport both at home and away from home; they are useful for those who go on vacation or decide to have a picnic.
2.) The table grills are small; suitable for those who go camping in tents; they are perfect for a grill for two.
3.) The integrated grills are part of the outdoor barbecues, those that are permanently mounted in the gardens of the house and allow you to cook for many guests.
Material
The quality of the material that the barbecue grills are made of is essential because the correct cooking depends on this.
- The enameled wrought-iron barbecue grill with non-toxic paint is the cheapest, but it is also the one that has a short duration and cannot be left under the elements. It needs gentle cleaning and needs to be changed often.
- The cast iron barbecue grill is the most requested one because it has the advantage of being made with an excellent material capable of retaining heat but has the disadvantage of requiring more thorough cleaning, and greater caution was given that the material is more delicate.
- The chrome-plated stainless steel grill has nothing to do with natural stainless steel; first of all, it has the advantage of being cheaper than the second but has the disadvantage that the chrome plating with the use or with high temperatures comes off.
- The best barbecue grill is in natural stainless steel. It has the advantage of not needing any maintenance, of being easy to clean and of being practically indestructible. You can leave them in the garden, under the weather and wash them whenever you want, they will always be new. It has the disadvantage of retaining less heat than cast iron and being the most expensive on the market. To understand if it is 304 steel it will be sufficient to approach a magnet if the magnet does not stick it is 304 if it is attached it is lower-quality steel.
Barbecue grills: Features
Today people are more careful about cooking food and have become more demanding. Everyone looks for a grill that allows them to cook slowly to avoid creating the burnt patina on the meat that the doctors talk badly about.
Furthermore, slow cooking allows the meat and the fish to retain the liquids and to enhance the final flavor. To get the best out of the barbecue, you can choose the one that has the most suitable functions for your needs, and that allows you to make succulent dishes.
Most grills are equipped with the ” Rotisserie ” function, which is used to turn the food slowly during cooking so that everything takes place evenly. Some models are equipped with ” Automatic Ignition ” and the ” Temperature Control ” function.
Others have, inside them, a small surface that is used for browning and smoking smaller pieces during cooking. There are grids that allow different foods to be cooked at different temperatures at the same time.
To grill vegetables, there are also ” flat surface ” grills that allow you to cook very small pieces that cannot be cooked on a standard grill.
