Which is better - convection oven or electric grill?

The choice of home appliances is a difficult matter, since there are many subtleties and nuances. This fully applies to such kitchen devices as convection oven and electric grill.

The electric grill first appeared on the market in the 1980s, but only a little more than 20 years ago, two-sided devices were created. They immediately superseded impractical and inconvenient models of the first generation. Electric devices operate in contact or contactless modes. The contact grill is similar to a frying pan and is easy to use, does not give a strong child, but at the same time it will not be possible to heat the excess fat from the products.

Be sure to need to equip the kitchen with a very powerful hood. The melted fat, falling on the heating parts, litters them - to cope with this problem is quite difficult. Among open grills, it is recommended to choose cast-iron structures. But aluminum products show themselves worse than others, judging by the reviews. The main disadvantage is the impossibility of heating to high temperatures, which makes it impossible to fry meat well.

To be precise, the difference between aerogrill and electric grill is rather a marketing ploy. When working, it also depends on the power supply. But while there are a number of nuances that can not be ignored. Uniform distribution of heat allows you to cook almost any dish and satisfy the demand of even the most picky gourmets. Another convection oven has a lot of useful functions and is able to replace a whole “park” of kitchen appliances.

There is no need for the following kitchen appliances:

• plates;
• yogurt makers;
• standard electric grills;
• ovens;
• Microwave ovens;
• toasters;
• steamers;
• smokehouse.

When aerogrill works, the use of fats is not required, therefore this technique is invaluable in the preparation of dietary meals and medical nutrition.Food does not lose nutrition and nutrients. Having one convection oven and several containers, you can cook a variety of dishes, spending a minimum amount of time. The mixing of aromas of processed products is excluded, and the absence of a microwave generator allows you to avoid even the slightest danger from microwave radiation.

In any convection oven there is a flask of glass, equipped inside with a metal ring. Also in the design includes a cover, stand and control system. The distribution of hot air is due to the convector, which can supply a jet with different speeds. Professional-grade aerogrills are complemented with separate elements that are not found in household constructions and are distinguished by higher productivity. Almost every convection oven works with the help of heating elements. Separate devices use a glass-ceramic halogen lamp (this solution improves the environmental quality, but reduces the resource).

A considerable part of consumers believes that aerogrill is preferable to electric grill,because it creates less unpleasant odors. In this appliance, the cooking goes under the hood. But at the same time it is indicated that first of all these devices will suit those who already have electric stoves at home.

Aerogrilli successfully cope with a variety of dishes:

• meat;
• fish;
• confectionery.

The question of how such a device differs from a barbecue maker is removed automatically. No kebab house will not be able to defrost food and heat ready meals, it will not dry various food. Convection oven will easily cook the first dish and side dish to it, sterilize products and various containers. It is indispensable practically at harvesting, when drying fruits, vegetables and berries.

Convection oven still inferior electric grill for some indicators. So, the difference between them is connected with insufficiently fast heating of dishes. Convection oven can not cook steam dishes as good as a double boiler. If you want to cook for a couple, then you should buy it in combination with a conventional electric grill. Important: the convection oven consumes a lot of electricity, and if necessary, it is better to use other devices.

The electric grill is inferior to its “air” fellow with active cooking for a large family. But it turns out to be more practical than it with relatively rare use (for picnics and other trips). It is important to remember that the electric grill will not be able to boil or extinguish the vegetables, and that it can break if the voltage in the network is unstable. The upper part and the balloon of the aerogrill sometimes heat up very strongly, so this device is unsafe in families with small children. For the same reason, it is not suitable for limited space. Those who love grilled meat are in awe of electric grill, and fans of healthy or lightweight meals often take on aerogrill.

Fans of baking should prefer the oven rather than convection oven. The advantage of transparent aerogrill containers is that without lifting the lid you can assess the readiness of the food. The glass bowl is washed much easier than the metal strips of the electric grill.

Convection oven deserves attention for other reasons. It does not need special containers.By setting the timer and thermostat, the owners can safely do other things. The cup remains warm for quite a while. It should be noted that the capacity is quite large and heavy.
