Types of electric grills

 

Before deciding on a model or doing a price comparison, it is a good idea to find out about the different types that are out there. Severin covers the entire spectrum so that you can find a model from every type. The selection depends on the requirements you place on the device.

Contact grill: A contact grill is an electric grill that has a fixed lid and two contact surfaces. This means that the grilled food can be heated and cooked equally from above and below. This ensures even heat distribution and a good cooking result. Even crispy searing is possible with these models.

Hood grill: A hood grill is a classic electric grill with which you can cook both passively and actively. The lid creates high temperatures inside, which is ideal for steaming or slow cooking.

Free standing grill: If you don't want to use the electric grill on the table but as a free-standing model, you have to buy a free standing grill. This type differs from the classic table grill in principle only in that a stand is included in the scope of delivery. Often the grill can then be used both on the stand and on the table. There are both contact and hood grills as standing grills.

Table grill: The table grill is the compact version of the electric grill. It is characterized by the fact that it does not need its own frame, but can also be used on the table. Depending on the design, the model can also be used indoors, provided it is designed in such a way that not a lot of smoke can develop. A good fat drip tray is required for this.

Advantages and disadvantages of electric grills

 

Compared to the classic charcoal grill , an electric grill has the great advantage that it is ready for immediate use. It only has to be connected to the power supply and can then be heated up immediately. It doesn't need coal or gas like a gas grill. At the same time, of course, this is also a disadvantage, because for operation you have to rely on a socket available nearby.

Basically, you can prepare anything with an electric grill that can also be prepared with a classic grill. However, the maximum possible temperatures are not that high, so that depending on the model, very spicy searing can be problematic. For passive cooking, on the other hand, electric grills with lids are ideal. If the device has a drip tray, it can even be used indoors as there is hardly any smoke. In addition, electric grills without smoke can also be used on balconies, on which one is actually not allowed to grill.

Cleaning is also much easier compared to a charcoal grill, because no ash needs to be removed. The removable parts can usually be cleaned in the dishwasher, which is very practical. However, depending on the model, cleaning the heating coil can be a bit complicated. At Severin, cleaning the IUD is usually very straightforward because it is easy to reach.

Of course, when using an electric grill you have to live with the fact that the typical smoke aroma of charcoal cannot be achieved. But this also applies to gas grills.

 

 

What makes a Severin electric grill?

 

Severin's models were able to convince across the board in the test. They are not only characterized by a good price-performance ratio, but also by the large selection of products. Severin offers both contact grills and open table grills as well as models with lids. Everyone who is looking for a model with a good price-performance ratio should find it here.

In the professional area, Severin is very thin, because the manufacturer places more value on the entry-level area for private households. Another characteristic of the Severin models is that they are easy to dismantle. As a rule, you can easily disassemble all the individual parts, which makes cleaning much easier.

Severin PG 1511 

The PG 1511 is a good, yet very affordable Severin electric grill. It works with an output of 2,300 watts and thus achieves good heat that is quite evenly distributed. The workmanship is appropriate for the price, so a bit simpler but sufficient. The operating concept is very good, so that the grill can be controlled very easily.

The grill area is 37 x 23 cm, which is very compact, but is easily enough for two to three people. Thanks to the removable grill pan, the development of smoke is very low, so that the grill is ideal for both indoor use and the balcony. The tub is filled with water before use. Although the housing is made of plastic, it impresses with its overall high stability and robust construction. The temperature preselection works precisely, which leads to an even temperature distribution. The dismantling is - typical for Severin - very uncomplicated.

In the test, in addition to the small grill area, the somewhat too undersized power of 2,300 watts was noticeable. Very spicy frying is not possible. Nevertheless, the power is absolutely sufficient for constant and even cooking. The bottom line is that the price-performance ratio is very good.

Severin PG 2792 

The PG 2792 is a quite simply constructed but functional standing grill for various areas of use. It offers a 2-way height adjustable grate as well as a shelf or the grill unit. The individual elements are very easy to clean and the chrome-plated grill grate can even be cleaned in the dishwasher. The removable tub can be filled with water so that very little smoke is produced during grilling. This makes the device ideal for use on the balcony. With a size of 41 x 26 cm, the grill area is already neat and is sufficient for three to four people.

The model works with an output of 2,500 watts, which is sufficient for searing meat and other dishes, but the heat development is not quite sufficient for a typical grill crust, because the output is a little too tight in relation to the area. In addition, the heat distribution is not ideal because it turned out to be somewhat uneven in the test. If you change the position of the food while grilling, this is of no great relevance, so that good results can be achieved despite this. The temperature control is more or less unnecessary, because in the test only grilling at the highest level was really possible. The lower levels are used to keep things warm.

The bottom line is that the model is very recommendable despite its simple construction, because the price-performance ratio is very good overall. The simple cleaning also contributes to the fact that the bottom line is that the model is highly recommended despite its weaknesses.

Severin KG 2392 

The KG 2392 is a very good contact grill from Severin. Above all, it impresses with its excellent workmanship in conjunction with good operation and a very good cleaning concept. However, the price is already a bit higher, so that it is certainly not an option for everyone.

The device is versatile, offers a grill area of ​​27 x 24 cm, which is quite neat for a contact grill and the grill plates can be easily removed, which makes cleaning very easy. The fat drip tray also ensures that a clean grilling is very easy. The results were very good in the test with vegetables as well as meat and sausage. Crispy paninis and toasts can also be prepared excellently on this.

The grill plates are non-stick coated so that nothing can burn or stick. In addition to the plates with grill patterns, two other smooth grill plates are included in the scope of delivery. The power is relatively tight at 1,800 watts, so that very spicy frying is not so well possible, but that is also not absolutely necessary because the results are very even and overall very good. With a weight of almost 7 kilograms, the device is very secure and stable and can be used both indoors and on the balcony. The temperature control works well, but you can only grill really well on the highest level. The other settings are more suitable for keeping food warm or for long-term cooking.
