Electric grill First 5330

Electric grill First 5330

Expands 180 *
Smooth height adjustment (pieces up to 8 cm or even more easily enter):
Separate thermostat for upper and lower plates.
It is very important that the plates are removable: on one side a traditional grill grid, on the other a shallow pan with a smooth bottom. The plates can be removed and rearranged very easily. Here they dry after work:
And this is how the grill looks like an orphan without them:
This is with regard to appearance. On work, the report is still scanty: I cooked pork and chicken legs. With the pork, there was a slight slip: they had not yet adapted to the device, the temperature was not set to the maximum, the handles were tugged endlessly. The meat came out great, but it took a long time to cook. This is during the frying process: And this is a ready-made piece:
And today there was a chicken. This is shortly before readiness:
Photos of ready-made chicken legs, alas, no: we were too hungry
I tried to grill zucchini and eggplant. It would be nice if the slices were thicker. I butted them with Berner, that is, there was not even half a centimeter of thickness. As a result, it was tasty, but ugly, the vegetables spread, so I didn't consciously take a picture.
So, my feelings from two days of using the device:
I can’t say for sure whether I’m satisfied yet. Honestly, I was counting on a shorter cooking time than in the AG. So far, the gain is quite insignificant: the chicken was fried for 35 minutes on maximum heat, the meat was even longer (but it was my fault there, playing with the temperatures). The taste is not the same as that of meat / chicken in AG, no better and no worse, it is just different, worthy in itself, without any comparisons.
The handles of the thermostats upset: the numbers are almost invisible, the plastic looks terrible. I set them to the maximum and decided not to touch them anymore (away from sin). The case itself is metal, from above it is as if doused with black plastic. The connection of the upper and lower parts is free, but surprisingly reliable, in height the top lays down exactly as it should, without crushing the soft-boiled product. There is no slope for the drainage of fat / juice, but there are two corner containers where the juice still flows, despite the absence of a slope: (sorry, the pictures turned out sideways, with a spread too lazy to mess around). And here they are in action (again sideways) In general, useful things.
Impressed by the working area. Saturn, Russel, Arietka seemed tiny, one good piece of meat would fit into them. In First, they can easily be stacked three in a row. It is very convenient to fry zucchini and eggplant for rolls or moussaka. I think the cauliflower with the cheese should come out pretty good. Well, and a fish, of course, especially since you can shove any fish into this colossus. Well, almost any.
However, your favorite air grill will remain in place. First, of course, is not bad, but AG will not replace fully. I will alternate. But First is definitely easier to clean! I can't imagine how this could be done with fixed grilles. I marin the meat in dry spices, they burn great and even stick to somewhere. And so he took off the still warm plates, poured some water, dabbed with a rag - and they are already clean.
In general, the only major drawback is the cooking time. But it still turns out a little faster than in the AG. For the rest, I'm still quite happy with the unit

Congratulations, azaza ! And about the time - don't you think that the heating regulation is violated in it? Is there a description in the instructions with the cooking time of individual products? Is such a time really written? In the instructions for mine - a few minutes, and almost everything is the same.

Flax, I haven't grilled the thick pieces yet. And thin plastics lay for about 10 minutes. Also not to say that quickly.But in AG they either remain white or burn instantly. And here they are fried well. The main thing is to choose the correct thickness. And before grilling, it would be nice to grease them with butter. I barely brush it. The meat has its own fats, due to which it is fried and not steamed.
By the way, in Devaysaholics girls wrote that grilled meat comes out more steamed than fried. My meat and chicken turned out to be fried!

Thank you, Lar!
Oh, what is the instruction there ?! A few sheets of tissue paper, and I strongly suspect that this instruction is brazenly stolen from a similar device of another brand. Perhaps the temperature is falling short? I'll try to play with the regulators again.

Perhaps the temperature is falling short? I'll try to play with the regulators again.

Remember, I wrote, my legs were perfectly fried in 6 minutes, thick eggplants - in 4, and we have the same power. And in the instructions for mine there is a table with products and cooking times, so nothing is cooked there for more than 7 minutes.

: yahoo: Yeah, thanks, understandable. By the method of tests, you can, therefore, choose the size of the slices.
Doesn't it feel like enough power?

Pts liked that the plates are removable. Twisted Saturn in my hands today, I can't imagine how to care for him!?! With non-removable plates.

Lar, well, do not forget that I have a First machine, which, alas, is far from being the First in fact. It is difficult to find cheaper and more awkward than this brand. And I felt more worthy brands, but were not impressed: tiny, low-powered. In general, I'll play around for now, and then we'll see. Maybe there is a treasured button that knows about turbo speed. So far, I am neither disappointed nor fascinated. Nothing so - that's my reaction to the unit. But it often happens to me: at first I am not impressed, and then I get a taste. But even as it is now - and that's not bad. Let it take a long time, but the product turns out to be really fried, and not steamed, as in many analogues. And sooo pleased with the washing process

Len, here's the feeling that the power is just fine. Maybe my hands are crooked?
Removable plates are perhaps the main advantage of this device. If you fry meat without spices, that's okay. But pickled in dry spices ... In general, yesterday I felt the charm of removable plates to the full extent! Even in the process of frying, I began to panic: how can I wash it all ?! Easy!!! But in Saturn or some other device, where the plates cannot be removed, I would have to shake up no less than with AG.

Tanyusha, congratulations on your new toy! 🔗 Looks tempting. It all reminded me in some way of my Soviet waffle iron, only here on the side there is a gap in the thickness of the product. Doesn't the fat splash out of this gap?

No, Monchik, nothing splashes, everything is clean and dry. I would still learn to use it

We believe in you with the whole forum! Come on, train, and then maybe we'll get something like that.

It seems to me that a new virus is emerging in Ukraine, another, after a pancake maker

No, not nata viruses! Wait, I'll test it a lot. Pancake maker - she's worth a penny. And this one is like three cheap pancakes

So, we will urgently sign up for a doctor's office. The nachrenologist is called. Let him get us vaccinated. 🔗

Anya, Tanyulya, thank you!
And about the power, I still have a suspicion that the cable does not hold out. Or maybe not so much. Still, do not forget that this is First They could easily throw a lure in the form of more power than there is. I deliberately took the risk - after all, it was possible to buy Arietka for 2000 watts (for twice and a half more, but that's the same). It was the size that bribed me in this one. Well, I will enjoy the size if the speed does not work. The main thing is that the product turns out after all fried!

Uh-uh-uh .... Who is the extreme to the doctor nachrenologist ??
I have an aggravation of the Grill ...

I don’t keep track of patients, I don’t know who is the last one. But I don’t recommend getting sick with the fucking thing.
I don’t know if I was so “lucky” to be underpowered, or if it was originally a “surprise from the company”. If this Furst also grilled in a matter of minutes, like Dopletin, then yes, it would be necessary to buy without looking. In the meantime, in the bushes of waiting.

I continue testing.
Experimentally, I found out that the thermostat knobs are still set to maximum. However, not only meat, but also vegetables are not fried in 6 minutes. Mushrooms were fried today for 15 minutes

The top plate heats up a little less.
I cut the zucchini thickly, about 1 cm.

It turned out to be thick. It seems to be fried, but juicy inside. Well, they are zucchini - solid water. I will fry them on rolls, but I would have to cut them thinner, 0.7-0.8 cm. And I will have to indulge myself with eggplants - there is not enough water in them, you should get real fried ones.
For dinner there was cauliflower in egg and cheese. Parmesan did not regret it.

The cabbage was fried for about twenty minutes. A bit too long, probably, but for the taste I am ready to forgive the unit for its slowness. Either the power does not reach the declared one, or the temperature - I can not check either one or the other. However, in general, I am still satisfied with the unit.
By the way, the cabbage was fried on the smooth side of the inserts, like in a frying pan. Fine!
PySy: the pictures show not the final result, but the process. The second day I can not keep up with my husband with a camera down: he eats on the fly

Oooh ... so I found Temka about the grill)
And a cool thing, interprocess - and we will write it down
And the fact that fries for a long time does not matter, yeah. We can assume that this is akin to a multicooker - it is also not so hot in it as soon as the dishes are prepared
Tanya, and there is no gas at home - is the current lichtricity? Or decided to try it for a change?
Along with the airfryer, there is an advantage - the compactness of the device and the volume of food to be prepared, if you do not cook the same chicken of impressive size for the entire village, then a very good option
I wonder how this grill is compared to sandwich makers ...

[Tan]

Tan, the soul is happy, the husband is full and happy. then the tests are going well.

Tanyulya, namesake, happy birthday! All the best and the pleasures of the world !!! 🔗
Alena, I have no gas, I have to play with electricity. Which, according to my current concepts, is even good: because all smart devices are electric, not gas, and in the presence of gas, the price of lyaktricity is wow! And so it is also more profitable for me to use all kinds of multicooker. Grills, unfortunately, eat a lot, but what to do? Hunting is worse than bondage

If I remain silent, this does not mean that the grill testing has been stopped as unnecessary. Just using the device went into weekday mode.
The grill is clearly not up to the declared power. If someone else had such a device, it would be possible to compare the results and understand whether it is mine or the whole batch is like that.
Despite this, the unit I happy! Yes, for a long time. Yes, I like meat in AG better. But the cutlets, grilled sausages are great. And for vegetables this grill is simply irreplaceable! Your favorite cauliflower has never tasted more amazingly delicious than it is now!

From above, the heating is not as intense as from below. Here is a piece turned over for clarity.

The recipe is as simple as possible: slightly steamed color. cabbage, eggs, cheese, salt / pepper. But neither in a frying pan, nor in a cartoon did it turn out so tasty. In addition, zucchini and especially eggplants are excellent fried.What is important, a large batch is fried at once. That is, the size of the grill (which I, in fact, bought) justifies the purchase, even if the power does not reach the declared one.
Summary: I use the grill and will continue to use it, with the planned temporary registration in the kitchen, the unit received a permanent one. But I bought it solely to distract myself from trouble. I thought I would survive the difficult moment - throw it away. But no, I will not part with the Komsomol, I will be forever young (c)

The main thing pleases

If I expected a lot from this purchase, I would probably feel some disappointment. But the purchase had a psychotherapeutic rather than practical purpose. And at the same time it also fit in the kitchen

Tanyusha, you are a fine fellow! Let the grill serve faithfully for many years and perform all its functions, including psychotherapeutic ones, in a proper way. I just thought that there is probably a connection between the state of stress, in which, in principle, we are all in one way or another, and deviceogolism, which is sick here 90 percent of the people, and maybe more. And everyone too - to one degree or another. It's just that on a subconscious level, our body throws up protection for us - a lifebuoy in the form of I WANT TO BUY !!! This means that treating device addiction or wanting to buy something, but forbidding yourself to do this, means removing protection and exposing yourself, your nervous system to destruction from a stressful situation.
In, dashed off. Maybe a psychotherapist still start earning money?

Monychka, the grill just failed to cope with psychotherapeutic functions. In this regard, time works, albeit longer, but more reliable.
And if your theory is correct, then it is not fair to everyone. My device addiction has other roots. I have nothing to hide behind him (it was until recently). I just freak out when cooking turns from a grueling necessity into a carefree game with devices.

Agree. I just get high from cooking when I buy something that makes work easier. I want to create and create!

Here !!! If before the thought of the need to go to the kitchen was terrifying, now I just think: what else to cook? One thing is bad - there are not enough eaters!

Tan! Did you stuff shrimps?

Helen, in mine (although I have another, a little more powerful, well, so what?) I was frying shrimps. Just a couple of minutes. And then poured the sauce (soy + lemon + butter + garlic + herbs) - mmmmmm!

Len, no, did not fry. Somehow I have not been friends with shrimps lately. Mabut ate too much. Itself in
But I am 90% satisfied with the unit. I realized this: even if only eggplants could be fried on it, buying it would be fully justified (for me personally). Never before have I got such wonderful eggplants! In a frying pan, they are too fat, in AG they are dry and even harsh. And then mmm Tender, juicy! Only you need to cut them 7-8 mm, not thinner or thicker. Then you get perfect.
And, of course, the cauliflower in the cheese omelette is just awful! Favorite recipe.
But for a long time, infection. This is upsetting. There is no 2000 W in it, definitely not

The unexpected happened to my aggregate. The poor fellow crashed from the end into the flat position. Not from a height, but due to its own weight, the blow turned out to be sensitive
Well, I guess the grill is crazy. But no, he is working.I put the cabbage in the egg and cheese again - nowhere else does this dish turn out to be so awesomely tasty. Knowing the quietness of the unit, I calmly retired to my computer. And it's good that I returned to the kitchen for some nonsense. Fifteen minutes have passed, and I have already caught the smell of light burntness. My "the quieter you drive - the longer you will" coped with the task three times faster than usual
Immediately after the cabbage, I put in fake chops. To be on the safe side, she didn't go far. The cakes were fried in 11 minutes! This, of course, is not 6 minutes of the Dopletins, but for my slow grill, this is super-speed. It turns out that he needed a serious shake-up, and by no means a moral
Crosses upset the coating. I wouldn't call it non-stick - it's just some kind of alloy. Quite heavy, not luminous. But not cast iron either. If something sticks to the bottom plate, then only along the sides (on which, in theory, there should not be any product at all, but I always have little space, even in such a huge grill!). From above, the heating is noticeably less, because of this, the eggs are slightly welded. If there are no eggs in the dish, everything is OK. The plates are washed very easily: I soak them warm right in the sink in warm water with detergent, after five minutes everything goes away practically without my help.
In general, my opinion about the unit is growing. I don’t regret buying at all!

It's even good that you fell, isn't it?

Just that rare lucky break

I also have such an electric grill. Fried only meat, not impressed. Should I drop it a little too?

Try it Only mind you - I'm not responsible for the consequences
Meat wasn't impressed either. It will be necessary to try the thread now, after the shake-up. But still, for meat I have the first master of the AG. Although First was bought to replace him, but nevertheless, the newcomer very much took root. For vegetables, it is indispensable - nowhere else have they been so tasty for me
I'm even glad that First did not leave AG without work, each unit has its own specialties.
