Portable Electric Grills
Portable Electric Grills are very easy and convenient to use. All one has to do is plug the grill into a power socket, turn it on and you are ready to start grilling. The downside to using electricity to power grills is the requirement to have power available, which limits the number of places where you can use the grill. However with increasing awareness that gas and charcoal grills are potentially high risk fire hazards, more and more authorities and sites are banning portable gas and charcoal grills, particularly during the summer months, so a Portable Electric Grill may become your only option.
With regard to choices of manufacturers and models there are not too many options available however we have looked at a number which are readily available.
Below are three of the best available Portable Electric Grills. They are typically designed for outdoor use but can also be used indoors.
Weber Q-140 Electric Grill
This unit runs on 120 volts and has been designed by Weber after a considerable development time. It is ideal to take to a place where gas and charcoal are not allowed. However 120 volts is not enough to generate enough heat to grill at very high temperatures. In spite of these drawbacks this is one of the most popular electric models that are available in the market.
Char-Broil Patio Caddie Electric Grill
This grill is a small sized grill ideal for people who have space constraints. It is only 28 inches at its full height. It is heated by a single heat element and provides about 187 square inches of grilling space. With this kind of space you cannot cook too many things at the same time - maybe just a pair of steaks or a couple of burgers.
Fire Stone Legacy 20i/e Electric Grill
This grill can virtually grill any food that you want and is a small, portable unit. This unit comes with two cooking areas and lets your grill and sear at the same time. This is ideal for those with limited space and constraint of not being able to use a gas or a charcoal grill.
Some people say that the flavor of the food is not what you get with a gas or a charcoal grill but that is mostly due to poor cooking techniques and the lack of "flaming" which some people like to use to give their grilled food that deep caramel flavor.
Before buying an electric grill, you need to make sure that there is a strong reason to buy one.
If you are just looking for portability and convenience then the best choice would be to choose from one of the many Portable Gas Grills. But if gas or charcoal grills are not allowed then the drawback of not cooking authentic grilled food is something that users of electric grill will have to live with.
David Steelex has spent many years travelling the outback in Australia and specialises in gourmet outdoor grilling. The new awareness of the fire danger posed by a whole host of "appliances & tools" has led authorities to tighten restrictions on what cooking equipment may be used in public and private outdoor areas. Electric facilities (often solar powered) are becoming commonplace.
