Vertical electric barbecue grills: features of use and advantages

Even in the summer season, the weather is not always favorable for a picnic with barbecue cooking. To prepare your favorite dish at any time, regardless of weather conditions, an electric vertical barbecue grill will help - a convenient alternative to the traditional barbecue.

The basis of the electric shashlik maker is a tubular electric heater (TEN), around which skewers are vertically installed. This kind of grill is located inside a metal case. The latter can be made of aluminum or stainless steel.

During the operation of the device, the meat is fried under the influence of the heat emanating from the heating element. In order for the kebab to be well fried from all sides, the skewers continuously rotate around their axis. The fat dripping from the meat is collected in a pan or in separate small containers installed under each skewer.

The stainless steel barbecue electric appliance for the home has a number of advantages:

• you can cook a barbecue at any time, regardless of weather or other conditions;
• for such a kebab maker there is no need to look for firewood or coal;
• meat in an electric analogue of a barbecue is fried much faster, while there is no need to constantly stand nearby and turn over the skewers.

For objectivity, it is worth noting those factors that many kebab lovers attribute to the disadvantages of electric barbecue makers:

• the need to connect to the network;
• in order for the meat to turn out tender and juicy, it must be marinated longer than for cooking on the grill;
• lack of smell and taste "haze" - an obligatory companion of a barbecue grilled over coals.

The last drawback can be corrected - it is enough to put a few branches of fruit trees inside the barbecue, or string thin pieces of smoked bacon between the pieces of meat.
