Max. heating temperature

The maximum heating temperature of the electric grill panels supported by the device in normal operation. It is desirable that its optimal indicator is about 230 — 240 ° C. Electric grills with such a heating temperature threshold will be able to fry any food with high quality. A high temperature may only be needed for some specific types of cooking, and a lower temperature will not ensure proper grilling for home use.

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.

Cable length

The length of the cable for connecting to the network provided in the design of the device.

It is worth considering the estimated distance to the outlet when choosing according to this indicator: a wire that is too short will not reach it, too long will get mixed up and create inconvenience. At the same time, also note that most electric grills are designed for use at home and other similar conditions, where there are no particular problems with access to sockets. Therefore, the cable length in such devices does not exceed 2 m, and in some models it is even about 80 cm.
