Choosing a contact grill

The most interesting thing was waiting for me further. The juice that leaked from the meat burned to the panels and I had to sweat with a metal brush

This scares me a lot. I do not want this laborious cleaning. Yes, and I am not friends with cast iron, well, I can't, how many times I've tried it.

Nothing?

Or play with De Longy, but don't overload the panel. So far I have just "NOTHING" ... The staff was already there, we were going through the grill with non-stick. The panels did not stand up to my requirements and exploitation.

You can stretch the chicken, but the beef ...

"Recipient: AlexeiK: Wednesday, 14 February 2018, 11:20 am"

good afternoon Alexey. thanks for the answer. Yes, I already took myself the same grill. picked up without having experience in grilling. the first time I made meat without greasing the grill with sunflower oil. The meat turned out to be tasty, but I'm tired of cleaning. it's good that I saw a video on YouTube of a guy cleaning a cast-iron pan with a grease remover (alkaline mixture). only with its help, the first time I cleaned the panels, about fifteen minutes. then I figured to lubricate the panels with oil, clean them much faster and without any chemicals.

here is Ustinov80's answer to me in a personal, back in those years.

Svetlenki says that the only thing that seems to be lacking is power.

I have doubts about beef

So far I have just "NOTHING" ...

Pancake. Are you not leaning towards anything? Or are there all the same options? Knowing your exactingness, I rely very much on your choice.

here is Ustinov80's answer to me in PM, back in those years

But I completely question the choice of oil. The fact is that sunflower oil has a very low combustion temperature and tends to create a sticky film that is difficult to remove. Always recommend peanut butter when frying steaks.

[AlexeiK]

AlexeiK, anyway, cleaning is not easy.

Or are there all the same options?

No. They are not. More precisely, they are not for discussion in this thread.

More precisely, they are not for discussion in this thread.

Where to go?

[caprice23]

caprice23, attention must be concentrated.
Well I said there in the 12th page that I put the foil.

[caprice23]

caprice23, as an option.

The price is only quite inhumane.

Cheto I did not understand, there was a market about mobility. And then WEBER appeared, even more trenchant than Gastrorag due to immobility.

the market was about mobility

Ops, but I saw about cast iron.
Well, yes, that's right, this is a great device for the home. Although they have a smaller model with cast iron.))
🔗

[AlexeiK]

I didn't understand cheto

AlexeiK, here they are women !!! Are you surprised at something? Weber is certainly a dream, but mobility and proper ventilation are big questions

as an option.
🔗
The price is only completely inhumane

The thing is cool! I read about him. But not for my kitchen. She's not small, of course ... And in general I don't like when everything is in plain sight, I take it to the maximum.

Yes, that's just, he said, from what here the topic swells.
Meat, you won't find it yet.
What about Delongy 1030 then? Normalek, if you look at the pictures from the Rada. Everything is shown correctly.

And in general I do not like when everything is in plain sight

Oh then! I wouldn’t resist grilling just for beef. Everything else can be contrived and cook in a good pan. Even burgers are possible.

What about Delongy 1030 then

Well, this is the only option to which I am inclined.

Meat, you won't find this yet

That's what I'm talking about. You can hardly find the meat you need here ...
So it will eventually have to cook chicken, fish and vegetables on it ((

I would not resist grilling specifically for beef

And Gastrorag will not cope?

[AlexeiK]

Better than fried on an open fire ...



AlexeiK, of course, cast iron rules, no one argues! But I can no longer "pull" weights in the kitchen, and therefore Delonge is an excellent compromise between the ideal on charcoal and cast iron in everyday life. In summer, yes, and sometimes in winter we grill steaks over charcoal. Yes, I also fry good meat in a grill pan, you cannot distinguish anything from an electric grill, but turning it over, splashing and so on ...
And yet, I firmly learned a long time ago - there is no meat for steaks, and there is no need to try to portray striploin and ribeye! Simmer, dry, twist cutlets. Everything will turn out deliciously. Steaks are a separate world and culture.
And washing cast iron for 15 minutes is still a task ... You can't cook on it every day. And on Delong I cook almost every day, so right now I will go and fry peppers for stew, and for breakfast there will be vegetable pancakes or cheese cakes.

I wouldn't spend that kind of money on an electric grill ... It's electric anyway, the taste will be about the same from any worthy one.
And the main advantage of Delongy's cover is that the vegetables DO NOT stick!




But I didn't understand or didn't see ... Do you cook on foil right in the grill? If so, then this is not ice at all.

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dmsWell, as I see, grilling as a frying pan is a very convenient thing. The heating rate and the closed top have their effect.

I generally took such a grill for shawarma. There was a 12 page review from a steak lover, beautiful
Yes, grilled foil shawarma. Meat as it turns out. But nothing sticks to the grill, there is a crust of butter.
Although meat is difficult to find, only now, the meat contains what gives a buzz when eaten, and if you add the grill pattern to this, then you get a good dish.
Sausages are also beautiful, and hot dogs themselves. Even if you take a McDuck burger and grill it, you get crispy buns and a different impression.
A lot of food was passed through my grill for the experiment.

I bought a mini grill - to indulge. Coming soon to show off!

Intriguer, like ...

Hello, help me choose a grill. This will be my first one, because I have no experience in selection, but if I really want to take it, I want it with some kind of functionality / repair potential.

I am planning to cook burgers, with a very high degree of roast, which really suits me - do I have to take digital control for this? Why do I need a grill that cannot cook exactly the way I want it
And I don't really want to stand and guard without the temperature-time setting function.
True, I do not know how much faster the pressure grill cooks in comparison with the frying pan

Still interested, of course, that everything is removable and easy to clean

Eye on Steba 120

But the question is - what if I need to replace the trays with new ones? What if I want to make waffles?
I can't figure out how to properly look for grills from which accessories or a spare tire can be purchased

The budget is up to 10k, although the less you spend, the better - you still need a lot of things to buy for the kitchen

[Vlad Kosaryov]

Vlad Kosaryov, country of residence is not indicated ((if Ukraine, then invest half of this money from Delongy. I don't really know about other grills, I have Delongy, our friends also all have Delongy. One friend of my daughter Tefal is not bad, it seems, but compared to Delongy just a toy)). Read the topic - girls write about many models, you can quite get an idea of ​​the advantages / disadvantages / temperature conditions, etc. On the grill, everything is prepared very quickly - 3-4 minutes boneless meat (boneless and 15, for example, chicken shins). Vegetables are also fast 6-8 min. I don't know what interests you. Look at the topic at least diagonally - there are photos of cooked products, there is time.

There are other grills on the same site. Just turn the wheel down.

Hello everyone! And I have a sadness ... Yesterday I turned on the grill, it squeaked terribly for 30 seconds and gave an error
Does not respond to any buttons. I did not find the info in the internet. We'll have to get the guarantee, see if it's still relevant and hand it over to the service. I don’t even know without him, I worked every day.

[milka80]

milka80, Irochka, oh what a pity (((! Of course you need to go to the service! Unsubscribe later, what happened!

Yes, very much (((The instructions say that this error is the replacement of the temperature sensor. We called the service, we need to take it. Then I'll unsubscribe.

I decided to unsubscribe .... In general, when the grill was handed over, they promised to give an answer in 2 weeks .... A month has passed - silence, when you call there an answer - we are waiting for an answer from the manufacturer about your repair .... fse!
Neither anything with him, nor whether he will live - they do not give certificates. It is also not always realistic to get through, you will have to go in person along the way.
I'm thinking of taking a replacement for Black Friday, though with the model now there is a dilemma.

[milka80]

Neither anything with him, nor whether he will live - they do not give certificates. It is also not always realistic to get through, you will have to go in person along the way.

So sad - such an expensive grill and such unobtrusive service. I had a better opinion of DeLongy. milka80, Irina, I'm sorry! You have become so good friends with this device. The dishes were one better than the other. It turns out that active exploitation is contraindicated for him?

How often have you used it? Well, about how many times a week?

Svetik, every day and without him, as if without hands (((He even replaced the Princess for me: scrambled eggs, omelets, potato pancakes, pancakes, cutlets, etc., cooked everything on it. I generally keep quiet about the daily sandwiches. Meat / fish / shrimps - I have already forgotten how to cook without a grill, except how to bake in the oven)) In general, I look towards DELONGHI CGH 1012D, because the whole set of plates is there, and I don’t see any point in taking 1030d again. Another point is what to do if it is repaired, I don’t need two, I don’t need to take it to the dacha, it will not work there in terms of power.

Hi, Ira! I had such a problem at the very beginning, they waited a month for a replacement, maybe one and a half, they returned it and now it works without pretensions. Tune in for a month of waiting, but then everything will be fine. Apparently the sensors have a weak point. Patience!
P. S. Your photos are very inspiring !!

It is a pity that I stumbled upon this topic late (I ordered and already today should receive a grill with heating elements inside the case, and not on removable panels. Well, anyway, I ordered a budget device in the experiment cut, will I go to grill or not especially.
My question is: can you use disposable baking dishes in it? well, these are for example

I saw in the reviews that there is a small protruding in the sets for some grills. included with mine, there is no such good) so I'm thinking whether it will be safe to use this.
Thank you

[Omorale]

Omorale, but you can't refuse to replace the model?
And if you want advice, then write a model of your grill.

took it already. I haven’t started it up yet, but I have already taken it.
it looks not bad, the reviews are all completely enthusiastic and a lot of videos are on YouTube, but there is a suspicion that most of them are custom-made)))
shorter. took the Kitfort Grill KT-1602
selection criteria were
- absolutely not expensive, let's just say .. a trial version, which, if desired and without regret, can go to the country. (if only it did not break earlier)
- power from 2000 W and a more or less hot pace (the manufacturer said 230 s)
- removable panels.
well, in general, that's all

[Omorale]

Omorale, Alina, My congratulations! I advise you not to save it then, but immediately start actively using it! Especially inexpensive!
And that there is a baking sheet in Kitfort in which you can put such inserts - disposable baking dishes?
I watched a couple of rollers, your grill gives a good result! Even fried in foil. True, I do not risk frying in foil on my own, the shore is a coating and I think that it is not very useful to cook in foil at high temperatures. Somewhere such infa slipped. Well, a contact grill should live up to its name and purpose - quick frying at a high temperature, so as not to evaporate all the juices, but to keep them in the product.
We are waiting for the steak result! This will be the ultimate grill test!

Thank you!)

no, there is no regular deep flat panel. just plain grooved.
but I'm thinking if I put a disposable form in the usual way on the lower panel, and lift the top one to the required distance and set it parallel to the surface of the mold, will it work like an oven or not? (well, brown a puff or julienne, for example)
or am I already wisdom on something, it is not clear why

and along the way I think that this is probably a stupid idea. heating elements are dependent, the device does not support different rates in panels. it is possible that the bottom will burn while the top is reddened. Well, something like this.
after all, this kitchen device was invented for other purposes.

ok .. tomorrow I'll try to bungle at least something. today children have so many dz that I'm already falling off my feet with them

ps
but about cooking directly in foil .. well, in my opinion it is somehow doubtful. except that in order not to wash the panels then I see no other meaning.

brown the puff or julienne

A cooking burner will be cheaper than using electricity on the grill. It seems so to me

Well, I updated it.
fry norms. but the meat I bought I didn't like. it turned out tough.
the first portion was cooked with steaks. came out tough. I don’t know, maybe I cut thinner than required or overexposed (I cooked for children and was reinsured. 5 min.)
I beat off the second portion. but the pieces were thicker. maybe the same rubber in the end, or maybe the rules, I don't know. haven't tried it yet.
nevertheless, I am inclined to think that the beef was not ice
I have to stuff my hand somehow. or learn to select the "right" meat.
Well:

🔗
🔗

it turned out tough.

Was there a lot of liquid during cooking?

no, practically none at all! only patches of toasted soot.
Well, that's what's in the photo, that's all.
no juice spread over the frame, or in specials. capacity was not received.
that is, the fact that the meat was not cooked or stewed in its own leaked juice is one hundred percent.

the second batch (battered meat) came out with the same rubber tomorrow, somehow it will have to be reanimated (




I liked the panels. the coverage seems to be good. does not stick at all, does not burn and is very easy to clean.

no, practically none at all! only patches of toasted soot.

It is perfectly! Means such meat is caught. Congratulations, it looks very cool. The heat is enough to seal the juices in the meat.

[Omorale]

Omorale, make a beef stroganoff out of it! It is necessary to buy real cuts for steaks or our real tenderloin, cut thicker pieces. Then it will be clear.

Thank you!
well I tend to the same conclusion. I will continue to experiment

make a beef stroganoff out of it!

Here! It follows from this that flat panels should not be ignored. They are sometimes better for beef than ribbed ones. I watched at fairs how they cook ciabatta with steak. So, most of the time it was plancha, where they roasted beef, not ribbed. The result is much more predictable in terms of softness. They threw it, pushed it down with an angular scraper on top, a minute, turned it over, another minute - and you're done.

[Omorale]

Omorale, make a beef stroganoff out of it! It is necessary to buy real cuts for steaks or our real tenderloin, cut thicker pieces. Then it will be clear.

yes, great option, thanks)

frankly, I have always avoided fried beef for the very reason that I cannot make it tasty for today's masterpiece I took an entrecote. waited rubbing pens in anticipation of an excellent result, but got the same again as usual)
then I choose some wrong meat
track. once I will approach this matter more responsibly.




So)
yesterday's failed meat was turned into meat pancakes, went with a bang

and today I'm very happy! today I have pork, neck. cut 3 cm thick, did not beat off. salt, pepper and a little sprinkled with oil. about 4.5 minutes on the grill and the same amount under the foil. super tasty! juicy, soft, with the taste of meat, not fat
and baked potatoes.the taste is baked potatoes, only the haze is not enough) it turned out very tasty.

🔗

I like the anti-friction coating. not a bit sticks, does not burn, everything is fine! but I think this is because I do not cook on a completely dry surface, but still with a minimum of oil.
I still fried a couple of slices of bread) they turned out handsome! faster, prettier and somehow tastier even than in a toaster) I didn't have time to take a picture, the children immediately jumped

And tadaaaam, we are together again
Girls, how I missed him, beyond words! They made the burger patties right away, fried the burgers themselves and, mmmm, delicious!

So, a month for the delivery of a spare part, a week for its replacement, and for another three weeks I could not pick up, the Achtung was at work. Everything was done under warranty, the diagnosis was the replacement of the temperature sensor.
So that's it! Who writes reviews that the sensors do not change - they lie, or did not change, or custom reviews from competitors. By the way, I handed it over on the last day of the guarantee.

[milka80]

milka80What a fortune that we managed to pass it on the last day, now the service life will also last!
Despite the fact that a new toy has appeared, I will never sell my Delonge. A contact grill is needed, whatever one may say, and even the waffles are excellent, pancakes and so on, thanks to it, are excellent.

Omorale, Alina, exemplary potatoes and meat, it is clear that it is juicy, and so everything is smoothly fried. I am glad with you, we have already made friends with the grill.

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, yes, this is definitely luck !!! What's the new toy?
I can already see, I went to read))) Here Santa Claus is worried that he has not yet prepared a gift

Here Santa Claus is worried that he has not yet prepared a gift

Strongly worries when the Snow Maiden is imbued with and wants both two gifts!
Fortunately, March 8 is also just around the corner.
