Roast-steam-bake! TOP-5 aerogrills

Redmond RAG-240

The Redmond RAG-240 air grill is available in a lightweight version — a bowl is not included in its delivery. As a cooking pot, you can use a multicooker bowl or other suitable heat-resistant dishes with a diameter for a lid of 22.5 cm.

The device is included in the cohort of air grills with mechanical control. Therefore, it is elementary in development — there are only two large regulators on the body of the device: temperature (up to 250 °C) and cooking time (from 5 to 60 minutes). The timer ticks quietly during operation, counting down the time until the end of cooking.

The out-of-the-box grates can be positioned at different levels, allowing you to simultaneously cook mouth-watering crispy meats on the bottom section and vegetables for garnishing on the top. In the process of cooking, products can be loaded without fear of getting burned — when you take the air grill by the handle, it automatically stops its work. In this case, it is advisable to monitor the tension of the power wire, because. its length may often not be enough for comfortable and safe placement of the device on the surface you like.

The device takes work from kitchen utensils and appliances such as frying pan, convection oven, oven, toaster, grill and microwave. That's just because of the low power (800 W) it warms up longer than usual (compared to competing models in the class). However, this level of power does not in any way affect the final result — air grill dishes are juicy, ruddy and evenly cooked.

As a bonus, the package includes a small book with 20 recipes. Some owners praise it, while others find it of little interest. Nevertheless, when getting acquainted with the air fryer, her practical advice will help you master the principles of cooking.

Sencor SMH 330

The device from Sencor attracts with its high power (1400 W), ease of use and affordable price tag.

The heart of the air grill is a halogen heating element, which is controlled by mechanical rotary knobs. The left knob determines the cooking time (from 1 to 60 minutes), and the right one determines the temperature inside the device (from 0°C to 250°C). In addition, there are two indicator lights on the top panel: orange indicates the power is connected, green indicates that the air grill is heating.

The cover of the device, on which the control panel and the heating element are located, is removable. She puts on a glass bowl with a volume of 12 liters. It will not work to expand the useful volume, because. The magnifying ring is not included in the scope of delivery. The handle on the lid is recessed into the body and is not conspicuous when folded.

The device can bake, boil, fry, stew, fry and defrost food. And the main purpose of the air grill lies in the preparation of tasty and healthy food without the use of oil. For example, meat and fish get a browned crust while retaining juiciness inside.

Sencor SMH 330 is ready to become a faithful assistant in any kitchen. Its purchase will provide an opportunity to quickly prepare a wide variety of dishes — from meat and vegetables to sweet desserts. And all this with minimal impact on the family low-cost.

Reference. The self-cleaning function in models with mechanical control is often activated manually, which occurs by setting the necessary parameters (temperature and time) specified in the instructions for the air grill.
