If you want to take your backyard cooking game to the next level, you don’t have to settle for a basic charcoal grill. Most grill manufacturers offer add-ons that expand functionality beyond simple burgers.
Multi-tier grills add one or two additional cooking levels above the main grill. The heat decreases as you move away from the fuel source. You can use this top layer to steam vegetables or keep cooked meat warm without drying it out.
Side burners attach to the gas grill with a hose. Can be used to heat pots and pans. The sauce melts. Sides cook. You can freely place the meat on the main grill.
Rotisserie kits use horizontal metal bars. Spins slowly with an electric motor. This method is perfect for slow-roasting a whole chicken or a large plate of vegetables.
But what if you don’t need charcoal powder or gas cans?
Electric grills are the most common option. It is based on a heating element embedded in or under the cooking surface. Fat and grease drips into the container below. These devices are usually portable. Many are suitable for a table or worktop. Unlike gas and charcoal, electric grills can be used indoors. This is important if you live in an apartment building or in an area with strict fire regulations.
Infrared grills are becoming increasingly popular in the high-end market. They use special ceramic-plate burners. These panels emit infrared heat. Thermal Engineering Corporation (TEC) claims that infrared grills do not dry out meat. It also produces higher temperatures. We are talking about temperatures of up to 899 °C. It gets much hotter than other types of grills.
Which option suits your space?
Electric works for small balconies. Multi-tier handles large gatherings. Infrared sears steaks fast.
