Choosing a contact grill

Waffles are not included, well, they bake for a very long time

Waffles in Delongy are baked superbly and very quickly, 2-3 minutes, although when I bought these plates were superfluous for me, I was never fond of baking Belgian waffles, but I found an excellent recipe here on the site, and now these plates are our priority.
As for the ready-made recipes from the play market, they are really very affordable, only the grill cooks even faster than the indicated time there. I usually insert the ikeevsky temperature probe and the desired temperature and it beeps earlier than the set time in the recipes.

[Taha]

Taha, Prus - 2, girls, thank you so much! It remains to visit Eldorado to evaluate live

[Irina]

You know Irina, I read negative reviews on both grills and come to the conclusion that this is as lucky as anyone. Or not lucky ... I, too, with Shteba were not lucky, I also extinguished for hours, and did not fry, but it was just a marriage in a single copy, the girls, the rest here on the forum are all happy. Therefore, buying is a big lottery ...
Good luck to you, in any case!

[Taha]

TahaNatasha, yes, definitely right! Judging by the reviews, the same situation is with Tefal Optigrill, someone is doing fine, while others are in trouble. Maybe it depends on the party?



Girls, I'll torment you a little more: here's what opens at 180 - do you need it? For pancakes and the like, I have a Princess pizza maker, she works every day. There is also a large pancake maker, I also fry on it when I need a lot, so I want to grill especially for meat, vegetables, fish and seafood.

here is what opens at 180 - do you need it?

Not at all, you will try it once and never want it again, because everything around the grill: the countertop, walls, the bottom of the upper kitchen cabinets will be in greasy splashes

I was also unlucky with Shteba, I also extinguished for hours, not fried, but it was just a single marriage, the girls, the rest here on the forum are all happy.

It is, rather, lucky for those who are satisfied, they have grills in a single copy without marriage

Not at all, you will try it once and never want it again, because everything around the grill: the countertop, walls, the bottom of the upper kitchen cabinets will be in greasy splashes

That is, except for how to fry pancakes in this form, is no longer good for anything?

Quite right!

Yes, in the open version I only bake pancakes (on a dry plate, without oil) and grilled tomatoes - they do not work well in contact. In the grill, the plates are large - if grilling chicken fillets - 5-6 pieces are placed at a time. Or 18 chivapchas. Prepares very quickly for contact, I already wrote above the time. Therefore, there is no need to cook on the open. But I have it, with my preferences in recipes. Others have different preferences and need a lot of cooking space. For me, for example, for 7-8 guests, the same chivapas, I need to make 2 bookmarks of 18 pcs. By time 1 bookmark is ready in 4 minutes. You can do, as I do, 2 bookmarks and put the first batch on a dish and cover with a lamb so that they do not cool down while the second is grilling. Or you can open the grill and lay out 36 pieces at once. And after 4 minutes, turn over and fry for another 4 minutes. Maybe someone likes it more and looks more impressive. Somewhere like that. Kara, not always greasy grill! Perhaps greasy and splattered, but not all products are like that! In reality, often all the fat is greasing the panels with a brush with olive oil. you just have to think about what to fry in the open and what not.

[Prus - 2]

Prus - 2, Lyuba, uh-huh, I understand.I was planning to make kebabs for children in the open form, I saw how they cook this on a flat plate. In the Princess, with the lid closed, they are more like a couple, than like a kebab.

Irochka, chicken skewers are not fat at all - are they from a fillet? Lightly grease the plate with oil - why splash? Or add a little oil to the meat marinade - then don't grease the plate. In this case, there is nothing to spray. Well, if the meat is fatty or, say, chicken legs with skin, and even the plate is greased, then of course it will be both greasy and dirty!



And yes, I have a princess strap with many removable panels. There, grill panels could only be used for butters. And for some reason, they made quail halves well for them)). And all the meat was steamed. Either the temperature was not enough, or the plates closed during frying? That's why I bought a large contact grill with heavy panels and high temperatures. And I have never regretted it! Very cool stuff! And everything turns out superbly on it! And yet - download yourself a recipe book for him - there are such goodies! And the book is very sensible and beautiful! There are both on the Google market, and erase in the epp.

[Lyuba]

Lyuba, yes, they are the most chicken. We will check tomorrow I hope I will be one of the lucky ones and the fate of exchange / replacements and service centers will bypass me

[Irina]

Irina, Ira, I will keep my fists for you! Be sure to unsubscribe how you liked the grill! And immediately install the Recipe Book on any gadget!

[Lyuba]

Lyuba, thank you very much! The recipe book has not yet impressed, I will experimentally select the time

[Irina]

Irina, you still decided to buy ?! Tell us later which grill you chose and about your first impressions.

It is convenient that in addition to the temperature of 230 * on the regulator, you can set 250 * by additional pressing of the buttons

Lyuba, but you can in more detail what button you need to press, my instructions do not say anything about this ... I did not know about such an additional bonus ...

[Natalie]

Natalie, did not read the instructions carefully)), in the middle of the temperature controls there are buttons called SEAR. With this miracle button we add the temperature. True, my inscription on the screen is not displayed, but the temperature is added. In the same place, in the book (in the tables-recommendations), they often write about the use of these buttons. I will not give tables, but here is the paragraph from the instructions:

[Natasha]

Well, well, now I'm crooked


Girls, but how huge it is!
When the courier brought in the box, I even began to doubt whether it was worth taking
In general, I had to revise all kitchen equipment and make room for this important gentleman
Natasha, chose Delongy 1030D, it has not come to cooking yet, while I am doing other things, but I will definitely unsubscribe about first impressions
Unfolded

[Irina]

Irina, Congratulations! Long love and understanding with him! And yet - I looked on the phone - the recipe book does not open completely ((, but from the tablet - great! Go to the menu - the button on which the chef's hat is drawn.

[Lyuba]

Lyuba , here I am the tundra! After all, I always pressed the sear button, I thought so, but didn’t realize that it was to raise the temperature ... Live and learn. THANK YOU.

Irina, congratulations from the bottom of my heart. I feel directly responsible for the fact that they were inclined to this particular grill ... Let it plow and only please, but the fact that it is large is not news for the owners. Therefore, I never expand it to 180 - I don't have so much space ...

For dinner, I shaved chicken drumsticks, this is the amount that falls on one plate: In principle, more could have been placed, but there were five of us at the table)).

I could not resist yesterday))) I ran to the store for vegetables and chicken breast.
I marinated the vegetables (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper), cut the breast and marinated part of it in Worcester sauce with grilling spices, some just salt and pepper.
Judging by the reviews, the recommended cooking time is not true, so it was reduced by almost half and it turned out to be right.
So, vegetables, a timer for 3 minutes, maybe a little less.


You need to experiment with mushrooms, they were fried on top, but the juice did not have time to drain from the bottom and beautiful stripes did not work, but they were ready. Therefore, the next step I put under the front legs of the lids from under the cans, so that the liquid flows better.
Or you can reduce the temperature of the top plate and set the time a little longer.


And the rest of the vegetables


Next is the breast. The plates were NOT SOAP. The scraper is wonderful, I cleaned everything with it and then fried chicken. Timer 3 minutes.





When I was cooking, I put the portions in the Shteba for heating, well, it's very convenient, so the vegetables don't cool down and can be served hot.
There is no final photo, they ate everything quickly)) The chicken was immediately very juicy, when it cooled down, of course, not like that, but this is a chicken, it is always like this with it.

After cooking, she again removed the excess with a scraper, allowed it to cool to a warm state and washed off the remnants with hot water. All without tension.
Again, the Princess taught me to wash immediately in a warm state, so I was not too lazy to wash in hot pursuit. Something like this

P.S. Size for a family of 4 people - the most it! In the responses of the angry I read that it is not fried around the edges, as you can see from the photo, everything is fine. A couple of zucchini slices were not shaved on top, but they were thinner than the adjacent ones.

[Irina]

Irina, Ira, what are you clever! Everything is so beautiful and confident - delicious! Grill, he is a hard worker - he will quickly cook so many goodies. And very dietary-useful, minimum oils. Maybe you want to try these marinades: for vegetables - salt, pepper, oregano, basil (dry) and olive oil. For chicken - Provencal herbs, salt (a little), black pepper, sweet tablespoon paprika and olive oil - just to make gruel from seasonings. It turns out delicious!

[milka80]

milka80, Irina, congratulations on your purchase! Let the grill only please! I also started to look closely at him!

[Anya]

Anya, Lyuba, girls, thanks! I'm experimenting)) I didn't get to the steaks until I can overpower myself to pay 500r for 250g of meat, so I cook according to the usual recipes.
Today I baked my favorite apple waffles-pancakes I also tried the recipe from the Internet in milk, the family ate it quickly
For both types of waffles, the timer set 3-3.5 minutes, they came out perfectly.


Then she fried a variation of potato pancakes: potatoes with sauerkraut in half. Vkusnyashechka, but without butter it was not straightforward, I wanted fat content)))) Again, the family with sour cream was eaten with a bang!


Yesterday I was frying meat for further stewing. Since I don't use the stove at all, I used to do it in Steba and whatever one may say, the juice stood out, waited for it to evaporate, and then fry it. Here it took 2 minutes and then stewed it in sauce in a cartoon. By the way, the meat came with terrible veins, it was only suitable for cooking, but I decided to give it a chance in the form of goulash - it was right.


In general, while there are no negative emotions

[Irina]

Irina, Irochka, I'm so glad that the grill came to the yard! I was very worried so that there were no negative impressions! We have been at home for a year and a half over him, especially when we periodically go on a diet. During the diet, fried is prohibited, but from the grill you can! So our diet turns out to be tasty and healthy. Well, in other periods (not dietary) we use it in full. It's especially cool when guests come and come - a fabulous table is ready in a matter of minutes! And now he is working with us in tandem with Multicooker (Multicusine) DeLongy. In the grill, meat, and in the maker, the fries are practically without oil! And porridge, soups, borscht in a slow cooker and cottage cheese casserole in it. It's very cool now, with such helpers to cook! Not stressful, tasty, fast, healthy. Let the grill continue to please you!

[Lyuba]

Lyuba, Thank you! True, I was also worried, there were some reviews in the internet, but TTT so far everything is fine!
I continue to grill the usual recipes
Squid - timer 2 minutes

Fried eggs with bacon.
Eggs lasted 3 minutes, bacon 1.5

People ... and I think something ... besides meat and fish, is there anything else you can do? For example, how to fry cutlets if they are watery? Should they be turned over or something? I just looked at the model, but I doubt it ...

I have not yet reached the cutlets, it is on the list of experiments, but this will be purely an experiment, since I like to fry cutlets in the Princess.
Yesterday I cooked chicken, 5 minutes on the grill, 5 minutes in a multicooker on a heating, so that it would not cool down while the guests were sitting down.

Delicious and juicy!



Well, that's actually why the purchase of a new device was started - a red fish-grill
Coho salmon in soy sauce, sliced ​​quite thickly. Guided by the table: 200gr time 7 minutes. After turning off, I left it for a couple of minutes, while they covered it.
Juicy, not as fat as salmon

Dear forum users! I ask for help ...
Nobody has used a Polaris PGP 0202 Grill?
My daughter decided to buy, it’s not expensive ...
But I've never heard of one that someone would use and there are no reviews ...
And then you may be lucky and there will be an owner!



Here are the characteristics:

- Voltage: 220-240 V
- Power: 2000 W
- Coating of panels: non-stick
- Case material: stainless steel
- Dimensions (HxWxD): 206x382x355 mm
- Weight: 4.19 kg

[vatruska]

vatruska, Svetlana, we already have quite a lot of experience in grilling. In addition to meat and fish, very, very tasty vegetables are obtained! Even the son-in-law, who absolutely does not like eggplants, writes them after grilling on both cheeks)). Pancakes are amazing - 4 minutes - 6 pieces! This is if on one plate. If on two smooth ones at once, then 12! In general, there is a huge recipe book for it - we install it on a phone or tablet. Also great shawarma, pancakes, burgers, pancakes - this is what we cooked.

I'll raise a little Temko. A couple of months have passed - I'm not overjoyed! I have never regretted that I still stopped there! All plates are intact, no peeling coating.
All types of panels are regularly involved, every day something, but we will still cook in it.
Today a fish, again a coho salmon, but this time a fillet. Three and a half minutes and dinner is ready!
They cooked a humpback somehow, but it turned out to be rather dry for grilling, either smoke it or cook it in sauce, and the coho salmon is just perfect! A little soy sauce, a little rosemary, a few drops of lemon juice and you can lick your fingers!

Peace be with you bakers!
not long ago we made meat in maggi sheets - it turned out delicious

[shade]

shade, oh, I always forget to buy them for trial, thanks for the reminder

Yesterday in miratorg I saw banana leaves ... also for this?

[Irochka]

Irochka, and will not climb if not mechanically damaged))). I already have two years of intensive use - the flight is normal! True, the panels are not washed in the dishwasher - everything is easily washed by hand!

Ira, she will not climb, if not mechanically damaged))). I already have two years of intensive use - the flight is normal! True, the panels are not washed in the dishwasher - everything is easily washed by hand!

I also don't put it in the dishwasher, there is nothing to wash there))) Now I already understand how much the reviews on the internet are customized. No, of course, and marriage happens, but not a single photo to confirm this was not. So we draw conclusions)).

And again with a quick dinner: the langoustines turned out to be simply amazing !!! 1.5 minutes at 210 degrees, processed them longer than fried

Excellent! We did it for the New Year too!

1.5 minutes at 210 degrees, processed them longer

Cool! Not a drop of juice! Respect to the grill

Cool! Not a drop of juice! Respect to the grill

All the juice inside the shrimp

seducers

I returned my staff pg4. I didn't use it so often, but when I got a taste, I noticed a violation of the coating. And that's all. I can't poison my own. Now I look around, because some products such as shrimp and bacon are not realistic to cook anywhere except for the grill Well, and beef steaks, of course

seducers

Yes, we are. What else to show to make the drool flow?

[milka80]

to salivate?

milka80Ir, without exaggeration, they are already pouring like a river. I carefully examined everything - and vegetables, and chicken, and langoustines ... And what is on the panels ... But there is nothing on the panels - there is no juice.This is a fundamental question for me.

There is only such a question for the owners - did you have to fry something (chicken, vegetables or meat) in several passes? How quickly does it reach the set / desired temperature?

Are there any zones of less heating of the panels? Or does he cook evenly over the entire surface?

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, Svetik, well, today I just fried it in four rounds, there were vegetables and after them Miratorg sausages.
There are no lower heating zones, everything is evenly fried even at full load. There may be places not toasting on top if the pieces differ in thickness. I did it with zucchini and mushrooms, the mushroom halves were higher than some of the zucchini slices. She took off the mushrooms and literally baked the zucchini for a couple of seconds.
The juice from the vegetables stands out and so that it immediately flows where it should be, we make a slope, otherwise the lower part will not be so striped-beautiful.
As soon as the timer beeps, I immediately press the button again, take off the first portion, spread the next one, close it and again on the timer. It is possible without a timer, but I'm afraid to be distracted and burn everything)))
After the vegetables I didn't wash anything, I cleaned off the burnt with a scraper and sent them to fry the sausages. They were 3.5 minutes on each side and stood for a couple of minutes in a disconnected grill. It turned out juicy, almost well-done, I took it off earlier with a specialist so that the juice did not leak out.




Seasoned vegetables with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Kitforth 1628

Rita Good afternoon. How many servings does this grill fit? Well, if for example pork steaks ... 2 will fit or is this grill "for one" the same size?

[Asvatova]

Asvatova, Anya, well, his working area is 27 by 17
One large steak fits, but with two it will already be difficult. Places 3 multi-storey sandwiches, 4 grilled sausages, 2 cutlets.
Maybe, of course, this grill is for one, but it cooks very quickly.

Lamb rack in GFgrill-130

There were about 750 grams of meat. Fitted back to back. I cooked for 6-7 minutes at max. temperature.

Good day, dear forum users. Please help with the choice ...
Redmond RGM-M805
Tefal GC306012
Steba FG 95
We have all these grills within 10 tons.
The first two attract power, Shteba with an additional flat panel (although I don't quite understand what can be done on it, which cannot be done on a ribbed one)
We really need advice from those who have used and studied these particular models.
The grill will be the first.
**
Needed initially in order to cook meat, vegetables

(although I do not quite understand what can be done on it, what can not be done on a ribbed one)

You can fry eggs, for example.
Between Tefal and Redmond, I'm behind Tefal, because its buttons with a handle, in my opinion, are made more conveniently.
My tefal has been living for five years

[Elmira]

Elmira, I do not have any of the listed grills, but in the last place I would opt for Redmond, and the rest is due to the circumstances, but I know that Tefalk grills are very good!

And I have Steba. I am very pleased. I would also choose from the last two.

[Belka13]

Belka13, Mirabel, Cifra, thank you for the advice .... girls are such girls, I have read a similar branch on ixbd and now I'm already looking at Delongy 1030D
At a price 2 times more expensive than what I watched, but reviews and recommendations ...
