Choosing a contact grill

I was looking for a similar topic - and did not find
If there is a similar topic - share a link - and I'll rub this topic

so Choosing a contact grill
There is a recognized favorite of BBK - cute, neat, - but I do not trust this company - I had a bitter experience
And I often see messages about breakdowns
There are grills with cast iron coatings
I looked at this Steba PG 4.4 Grill
But dear
A question for users and experts
It is necessary - it is not necessary in the house
What are the pitfalls
What good grills what not
Are there really German grills - or are they like Redmond and Bork - only foreigners.

Probably better at this thread
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=213.0

Thank you! I'll go read it.
But I will wait in this thread about the contact grill
I have an airfryer. Thoughts about contact b: girl_in_dreams: give birth

So there is just about the contact grill and there is a topic ...

There are a lot of unnecessary things in that topic, also about aero grills.
I'm in the process of searching for a contact grill - I didn't find the information I needed

Waiting for users - which is better to choose?

1) BBK - since it is promoted and known - but problematic in quality

Where are such conclusions from? BBK has no more problems than other grills.

I think so too. Marriage can occur in general in any, even the most sophisticated company. After the failure, I did not give up and bought the same grill again. Although she could have chosen another. And now there is a holiday on my street. I really like the grill. Yes, and only the VVK has a frying pan. I cook on it all the time.

Thanks for the answers. I am glad that not all of them have faults.
Ordered both grills.
I'll take one.
I don't know which one to take yet. Proficient seems to be more impressive - but it is not clear what kind of company this is - suddenly the same as Vitek and other supposedly foreign firms.
Cast iron grills are very expensive. And I'm not sure yet - how relevant is it to me. Maybe I'll play and abandon it.

Ordered both grills.
Maybe I'll play and abandon it.

I really can't imagine how BBK will let you go. The half-forum cannot get enough of them.

I have this alignment. If I want a more powerful BBK, I can always grill in a cast-iron grill pan on an induction hob. And so while I use bbk-shkoy. The temperature range is sufficient. And some things can only be done on it.

[Zvezda askony]

It seems to me that the VVK has a smooth plate

Zvezda askony, if you managed to order BBK, then consider yourself lucky, since this grill has already been discontinued.

P.S. You have no idea what a gorgeous fish it turns out. Among other goodies.

How needed and in demand are auto programs in BBk?
Of course the toad VVK is closer to her liking - half the price
And I'm all in doubt
VVK - so cool - like a toy
Profic - more impressive.
Maybe someone will write on the profile?
There is also STEBA - also nothing.
But to Profik and BBK - it does not hold out.
At first sight
But this is a subjective opinion - that's why I ask the collective mind!

[Zvezda askony]

Zvezda askony, if you managed to order BBK, then consider yourself lucky, since this grill has already been discontinued.
P.S. You have no idea what a gorgeous fish it turns out. Among other goodies.

And then I break my head - why is he nowhere to be found.
Why was it removed? Maybe a more advanced version is released?
Let's see what they will write in response to the IHC order

Yes, we play here mainly VVK, and the profile appeared only recently at Tanyulya. She filmed a video with him. In VVK I sometimes fry, and then I even make sauce in the same frying pan. nowhere else is there. I mainly use a frying pan, it makes the products much juicier.

TANULA seems to be different - the one that G (several beeches)
There are three types of them - not impressed.

Auto programs are not very much in demand for me, because I have not tried them. I liked the idea of ​​top and bottom heat + frying pan. Pancakes (American pancakes), dranniki, lavash, Ossetian pies, etc. I doubt that all this can be cooked in a regular grill. BBK is more versatile, because it can do what everyone else + his own due to the presence of a frying pan.

Why was it removed? Maybe a more advanced version is released?

BBK decided to abandon the production of household kitchen appliances. And an advanced grill is not foreseen, unless someone else picks up the idea, which is highly doubtful. I am guessing that at BBK some gourmet designed this grill. Or there were tips from someone's wife. Or Chinese development.

Eh! But how to compare the profile and VVKeshka?
Both there and there are removable plates
But it seemed to me that the professional just had two smooth sheets, and the VVK had just a frying pan - which was lump

VVK is the most pleasant and effective. Most advanced. And the most ... elusive

Eh! But how to compare the profile and VVKeshka?

Grab BBK first and compare later. By the way, you can even fry potatoes in a BBK frying pan (about 1 kg).

I really like G grills, but VVK is my favorite, precisely due to the lower frying pan. If you are attracted only by meat and fish steaks, burgers, vegetables, then perhaps you can do without a frying pan, but I am very attracted to croutons in an omelet, all sorts of meatball cutlets, I took VKesha ONLY for the sake of a frying pan. I am more than happy with it.

TANYULA
And what about PROFI COOK 1030?

TANYULA
And what about PROFI COOK 1030?

All grills are essentially the same, the main thing is power and some of them have a distinctive feature of the bottom pan. But I know a girl who has PROFI COOK 1030, she is very happy, the power is good, it fries well, although the maximum temperature there is 220.
But .... she still bribed VKeshka * JOKINGLY * additionally.

But .... she still bribed VKeshka * JOKINGLY * additionally.

Hint understood
I will wait - both
Question
When choosing, I saw grills with a temperature of 300 degrees and above - what is this for ???
220 - with contact cooking - as I understand it - more than -
The Profi has a capacity of 2000
VVK - 1200
Both are fried to 220 - I really don't understand why they have different capacities and what this gives each of them
But what can you do at 300 degrees? Coals?

At 300 degrees ??? I don't know, maybe the crust immediately grabs and it turns out in a couple of minutes a medium-rare steak with blood? I don't know ... these are just assumptions
VVK in my case, when compared with GF 150, fries more delicate and less energetic, in GF 150 such a crust is immediately obtained.
But I compared the fish in the VVK and at 150 in the VVK it turned out to be juicier, and at 150 fried. we liked VVK more, maybe the temperature should be set a little less or the time ... I will try in GF 200, there most likely the fish will turn out perfectly.
So they are all good, you just have to adapt to everything.

look for VVK --- for two

Well, he's on his way
And I'm in thought - I need another one, or I don't need one.
If you need what you need
By how much we eat - yes VVK - is enough.
And suddenly they won't send it, but suddenly - in general, we are waiting for the BBK - and along the way we keep an eye on - if not he, then who

A question for connoisseurs - since this topic is by choice - and precisely contact grill
1) Which grills have a latch - when cooking
2) How often is it needed and how much it helps
Are there owners of Steba's grills - what can you say about them.
I didn't understand what they have and
Are there contact grills with cast iron plates in the budget segment?
Those that I saw are really huge
Mechanics and electronics pros and cons
Choosing a contact grill - what to focus on7
Which brand is the leader in grills (contact grills)?

So I went for Profi Cook 1030
Found it for 5360. But it was not there. But I've already arrived. As a result, the choice fell on Steba
Steba 4.4 or Steba 95
Took to compare
4y4 - more powerful 2000 95-1800
Both mechanics
The 95 controls are much more interesting - outwardly it is also more interesting
4.4 has waffle plates
The 95 has a very large fat container. At 4.4 - I did not find where it is at all
The 95 liked the plate mounting better.
4.4 has two double-sided plates. Use the side you need
Either grooved grill - or waffles
The 95 has two corrugated grill plates - one smooth
Maximum temperature at 95 - 230 degrees

By weight
95-5.5 kg
4.4 -6.2 kg
I suffered for about an hour - and in the end I went home 95
But BIBIK - I'm waiting

[Anna]

Anna, congratulations on your purchase!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!
I will wait in this thread, restless in the choice of souls - I hope the happy owners of kratenko will tell + and _ their grills and what was the reason for the final choice.
When choosing a grill, this topic was not enough for me
It is over the contact grill
BBK is certainly out of competition - and now even more so - since there is no such thing and it will not seem like it yet.
So we buy the leftovers in Moscow - the only place where he stayed and after all, the price began to pick up - that's what is unpleasant

Anna, with a purchase!
Well, do you have any impressions? Share with us!
I wanted a VVK for myself, but we don't have them. I had to buy First. Everything would be fine, but slow, infection! But he has a huge plus - removable flip plates: ribbed on one side, pans on the other. It is very convenient for vegetables, but you have to wait for meat from it for a very long time. I think, what could I buy to help him. I don't want to screw it up a second time, I want something proven and fast-cooking. And we have Shteby, and 4.4 and 95. If the thing is worth it, maybe my torment will end

So I'm telling
First of all, TANYULE kowtow to fried Adyghe cheese with tomato - delicious !!!!!!!!!
Fried zucchini - super tasty and convenient.
Trout at 160 degrees - tender - very tasty
Very convenient to remove and change panels
Convenient top cover
Huge drain pan
A spare socket is stored in your grill.
But I'm waiting for Bibik, where am I without such a highly appreciated device by the forum users.
If he arrives, I will groom and cherish and use when a crowd of guests

Huge drain pan

Well, in my experience, it's not the most important thing about the grill. Somehow I don't have a lot of fat. Most of the time, the containers even stay clean.

Anh, what about the cooking speed? It is she who interests me first of all. How much vegetables, fish, meat are fried?

I will report on time and everything else after the event
Now I run in and unsubscribe - when I completely sew up and need to switch my brain
For me, the speed is very even

[Zvezda askony]

Something Temka fell silent. Zvezda askony how is Steba 95 tested

[Zvezda askony]

Something Temka fell silent. Zvezda askony how is Steba 95 tested

there will be an event 06 07 13 - I will report on it and return to the ranks of multicooking and grilling
I sleep 2 hours a day - I eat mainly goat milk -
And news: girl
Bibika replenished my small set of devices
I got it today - but there is no time to try
Then I will report
I am very pleased with the staff!
Bibika is completely different
I think both will be useful to me!

And I'm already a little alive
I would stand for a day and for a night

Well scatter ... sleep, look at the clock, otherwise the event will pass you by!

[Zvezda Askony-Anna]

Zvezda Askony-Anna Congratulations on BBK. Unfortunately, we do not have it. So, I will wait for your feedback on Steba 95. It's good that we have them.

Anna, congratulations. VVkesha is good. I always have it ready, although I almost always use a lower frying pan. I think it will be happy.

Anna, congratulations on your purchase: rose: Looked at the Steba grill, good. But the price is off scale. Maybe when our VVKeychik breaks down, it will be possible to buy it. But for the price of Steba, you could buy almost 3 BBKeychik
We will watch the testing with interest.

Well scatter ... sleep, look at the clock, otherwise the event will pass you by!

The event survived
True, as always, the night before the event did not manage to sleep
But after - at 2 am - went to bed and until 10 am - the time flew by like one second!

[Zvezda Askony-Anna]

Zvezda Askony-Anna Congratulations on BBK. Unfortunately, we do not have it. So, I will wait for your feedback on Steba 95. It's good that we have them.

If there is no Bibika, then Shteba is an excellent choice - exactly 95
True, the rest differ mainly in size.
The shteba is strong, fries well - very large pan.
If there is no way to find Bibiku, then Shteba is an excellent choice
But! Tanyulya was right
If there is an opportunity - then BBK - it is worth taking
He has something that no other grill has
Both the grill and the smooth grille - have depth
Shteba is easier to clean
Very ergonomic
Fundamental
Comparison of Bibi-3 kg and Shteba 5.5 - makes itself felt
It would be interesting to cuddle BORK - and understand - where he "hides" excess weight
Bork weighs 8.3 (approximately - I don't remember exactly - but I remember that between 8 and 9 kg)
4.4 - has a greater weight (6.4) - due to the fact that he has double-sided plates

BBK |
I tried to pour milk over the fish, put the chopped mushrooms
I closed the lid - the lid got dirty - and it floated
Conclusion - you need to study ready-made developments and dance from there
At Shteba for now - grilling vegetables and cheese
Easy - tasty, fast. satisfying and convenient!

Trials continue

[Anna]

Anna, and how long are vegetables, meat, fish fried? I'm asking about Shteba, we don't have VVK-I.

I haven't fried the meat yet - and the Karelian trout fish is pretty fast

I am considering buying an electric grill GFGril GF-150. I choose this type with a swinging top cover and removable panels. I like the size of the frying panels: 324 * 260 mm. Who can tell what?

Nice grill. Sometimes it's even good to fry very much.

[Tanyulya]

Tanyulya,
do you mean frying when opened at 180 °? And where will everything drain from the top cover? And everything sprinkles, probably, be healthy ...

[Tanyulya]

Tanyulya,
do you mean frying when opened at 180 °?

It heats well both in the open position and in the contact position.
Meat, fish, vegetables, panini sandwiches, just bread, everything turns out well.

Thank you, I ordered for 3332r with a discount on DR.
I can already see how many cutlets will fit on it ...

I tried GFGril GF-150. He made cutlets. It turned out 2 centimes with a small thickness, striped and tough, like a sole ... I washed it down with meat juice that stacked into a container. It tasted better.
Apparently something I did not catch up ...
Turned it on to the full, put it down, closed it, pressed it a little. After 3 minutes, it was reduced to 200 ° C. When the thermostat cuts out, the heating does not turn on for a long time, so it stops squirting. The top fries better, which is not particularly surprising, since the liquid part is at the bottom and cools the plate more strongly.
How can I put it ... I haven't felt Nirvana from the grill yet ... In the pan there were incomparably better cutlets.

The grill will never replace the frying pan and the traditional way of cooking, including cutlets, which should be juicy - and the grill, on the contrary, is aimed at removing excess liquid.
If we talk about cutlets and hamburgers, then the minced meat is made practically without bread, it should be very soft, softer than on cutlets, and the thickness of the cutlets is not 2 cm, but about 1 cm.Then it will bake very quickly on both sides and remain juicy

We train further

I was without bread. Only kefir and grated onions are mixed in minced meat. Kneading for a long time, like the dough turned out and stayed in the wardrobe for 8 hours. Solil when sculpted. Roll in flakes.
My wife will come and feed it with what came out. I will say that the stars of the day have risen ... She makes fun of her and will probably even eat ... or feed the cats on the sly. They eat everything with meat in any form. And I will have to help them, we are a friendly company. When I was still drinking, I remember sitting and sleeping at the table, and the fried chicken in my hand. The cat will bite off on one side, and I will wake up on the other. We often dined together ... Now they do not have such a loaf.
I wonder if we can cook something on it that we all like?
Now I'll charge it thinner, in a centimeter ... I'll see what happens. I cooked the first batch for about 30 minutes.

Here are my GF150 grilled patties very juicy and soft. I have a terrible fastidiousness and "dry soles" will not eat, it would be better to say that he is not hungry.


it's a fish in the same place
