Work surface size
The size of the work surface installed in the grill — that is, the surface intended for the cooked products.
The amount of food that can be cooked directly depends on this indicator at a time. On the other hand, a large work surface requires high power, and also directly affects the overall dimensions of the grill. Therefore, when choosing according to this indicator, it is necessary to take into account the expected volumes of cooking and the amount of space available for installing the device first of all.
Note that this parameter is indicated by the length and width of the working surface, regardless of its shape. Therefore, the same dimensions — for example, 30x30 cm — can mean both a square and a round device, while the usable area in the first case will be noticeably larger than in the second. So in such cases, it will not prevent clarify the specific shape of the working surface.
Tray for fat
The presence of the
tray for fat in a set of delivery of a grill.
As the name suggests, this tray is used to collect fat and other liquids released during cooking. It is removable and performs several functions at once. Firstly, such equipment greatly simplifies cleaning: it is much easier to remove and wash the tray than to clean the non-removable parts of the device from fat. Secondly, in many models, the tray also protects the heating element from contamination — and this not only facilitates cleaning, but also prevents the appearance of fumes and unpleasant smells that among other things can spoil the taste of ready-made dishes. Thirdly, the collected fat can be useful for cooking purposes, as an ingredient in some recipes.
Note that the specific design of the tray may be different, depending on the type of grill (see above). For example, in some barbecues, instead of one common container, separate bowls are used for each skewer.
