Grilling is great for achieving charred, caramelized flavors in foods but not everyone has the space or safety concerns to use gas or charcoal grills. This is where an electric grill can come in handy.

These self-contained units heat up via a coil, so they don’t require heavy canisters of fuel. Some even have a double-sided cooking surface that cooks from two sides at the same time.

Steak

The most obvious advantage of electric grills is that you don’t have to worry about bringing along gas canisters or bags of charcoal. You just plug in the device and set it to work.

With a smart model, you can even choose the required temperature regime and time. You can cook steak, fillets and chicken wings, as well as burgers or other types of meat with the help of an electric grill.

You can also fry fish on an electric grill if you like. However, it is better to choose fatty varieties of fish, such as tuna or salmon. If you prefer to use a less fatty variety, such as flounder, hake or pike perch, you will need to add more oil or marinade.

Chicken

For those craving that charred, outdoor-grilled flavor, but who don’t have the time to lean over an open flame, eco-friendly grills are a fantastic alternative. Plus, they’re ideal for indoor use since they generate no smoke and do not require a propane gas canister or bags of charcoal.

Electric grills are easy to operate and offer more precise temperature control than gas or charcoal options. Some models also include nonstick or ceramic coatings to ensure that foods do not stick and can be cleaned easily.

Moreover, many models come with a grease collection tray for safe disposal of excess fat and oil. This helps in preserving vitamins and trace elements of food, resulting in healthy and tasty meals.

Fish

Whether they’re grilling up wings for the game or making a hearty salad with grilled fish, electric grills make it easy to prepare meals that are both delicious and healthful. The delicate heat treatment of an electric griddle preserves vitamins and trace elements, and the absence of smoke reduces risks associated with smoking.

The newest models are designed to be more convenient than ever. Many have features that can help you cook in less time, such as a power indicator to let you know when the device has fully preheated. Some even feature a drip pan to catch excess fat and grease.

The current Model G Dual Zone Smart Grill is a great example of how AENO’s electric grills offer convenience and quality at an affordable price. The product line includes fairly simple budget models, as well as multifunctional devices that can be used for both cooking and baking.

Vegetables

If you want that grilled flavor but don’t have a backyard to grill in or it’s the dead of winter, you can still enjoy charred and smoky burgers with electric grills. They heat up quicker than open flame grills and are more portable so they’re ideal for indoor use.

Besides meat, you can also prepare delicious and healthy fish fillets on an electric grill. And you can grill a variety of vegetables - zucchini, eggplants, mushrooms (champignons or forest), tomatoes, asparagus and corn. Vegetables grilled on an electric grill are juicy, soft and full of micronutrients.

Some models expand the possibilities even more – they come with removable surfaces that allow you to bake in the device. For instance, this option is available in AENO grills with double-sided work surface. One side of the device is ribbed and ideal for cooking meat, fish and vegetables, while the flat back is suitable for baking casseroles and cheesecakes.

Desserts

Modern household appliances for the kitchen help us cook healthy food in less time. Grills are popular among them, because they allow to make delicious dishes in the comfort of our home without having to spend much time over the stove.

Unlike gas and charcoal grills, electric models use electricity for heating and do not require propane canisters or bags of coal, which are a fire hazard and produce odors. They are also smaller and more portable, making them ideal for urban living.

Some models have built-in temperature controls, while others feature a smart panel with precise settings. Some electric grills also have removable grates and drip trays for easy cleaning. To add smoky flavor, some models come with smoker boxes that can be used to hold wood chips that burn as the food is being cooked, infusing it with natural smoke. This is an especially useful feature for indoor grilling, because open flame cooking can create dangerous fumes that are hard to keep away from the food.

Sandwiches

You can make a lot more than steaks and chicken with an electric grill. You can also make a variety of flat cakes and pizzas, cheesecakes and waffles.

The possibility to cook healthy tasty food for proper nutrition is really priceless. Delicate heat treatment preserves vitamins and trace elements, making your food healthier than before.

Many electric grills can be used indoors without the need for combustible fuel, so you can get that grilled flavor even when it's snowing or your apartment doesn’t allow open fires. And they're much lighter and smaller than gas or charcoal models, making them easier to transport on trips.

You'll want to look for models with dishwasher-safe grates and drip trays that can be easily cleaned. And always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for preheating and cooking. A good model will help you achieve great results in a relatively short time.
