Buying Guide for Gas Grills: How to Choose the Right One
You have decided to buy a gas grill and you don't know which one to choose and what to pay attention to?
Let's see their main features and which ones you should give more importance to, based on the use you want to make.
But before we start, why choose a gas grill over charcoal or electric?
+ Speed: It does not require special preparation, like grilling with charcoal.
+ Ease of use: Just turn on the burner, select the intensity, and grill!
+ Cleanliness: Clean hands, clean grill! Charcoal can often dirty hands, the grill, or even... the floor.
+ Taste result: Although grilling with charcoal has its own distinctive flavor, grilling on a gas grill can give you a unique taste result.
What can make it difficult for you?
- Gas is a flammable material and requires caution in storage, as well as when changing the cylinder.
Let's find the ideal one for your needs! Let's start!
1. How many people will you be cooking for?
For 1 person or 2? For the whole family or for a large group of friends? While the exact needs may vary each time, make sure to choose the number of burners according to your needs. Grills with 2 burners are good for a small group or family. And if you want to cook side dishes at the same time, such as vegetables or buns, choose one with a side burner. For more people or if you want to make sure you cook them all in fewer rounds, choose grills with more burners.
2. How do you want to grill?
There are 2 main types of surfaces on gas grills that affect grilling: the grate, which is more suitable for grilled meats and resembles the classic grilling method, and the smooth plate, which is suitable for both searing and grilling vegetables, eggs, burgers, and meat. Of course, there are grills with both options!
#SkroutzTip - Pay attention to fatty foods, as if too much fat drips onto the burners, it can cause flare-ups.
3. Where will you have it?
Have you created a specific space in your yard or elsewhere and want to have it permanently there? Choose built-in.
Do you want to have it on a table? Choose tabletop.
Do you want it with a stand so that it can stand on its own? Choose floor-standing. And if you want to easily move it around the space, choose one with wheels.
4. Will you move it?
If you are going camping or simply want to be able to move it at any time. Choose a portable one and take it with you wherever you want! It can be floor or table top.
5. What other extra features can it have?
It has a wider range of temperatures and is ideal for quick grilling on the grill.
Such grills have a window so you can monitor the grilling without having to open the lid.
