When it comes to dreaming about a trip to nature, and it's very tempting to try a delicious shish kebab, it's a very useful thing to get out of - an electric shashlik. Naturally, I want to find out which model will be the most optimal. To do this, let us compare the different types of these devices.
The location of the skewers is horizontal or vertical
In vertical devices having a cylindrical shape, the electric heater is located in the center, and around it - from 5 to 10 skewers. The heater is protected by a durable hood made of heat-resistant glass. Leaking juice and fat from the meat fall into a special container, located at the bottom.
Horizontal shish kebab is very similar to a grill. Its advantages are small dimensions and good capacity. It can be cooked more portions than in the vertical. The heater is located on the top or bottom.
We are determined with the power of
. Any electroshocker works from 220 volts. But in terms of power they are different. There are more economical models of 700 watts, which meat can cook a little, while not very hurrying. For a small kitchen, they are quite suitable. If you need to urgently feed a bunch of hungry friends, you will need a model more powerful - from 1000 to 2600 watts. And then you can even in 10 minutes( maximum for half an hour) to prepare a juicy shish kebab.
Which material is better
The majority of shish kebabs are made of aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum models are easy, but they are easier to crumple or scratch. Stainless steel in this regard is more reliable. But if you have to often carry the device with you, it is better to stop after all on aluminum.
And more: since the body and internal elements are dirty during cooking, it is worth choosing a demountable device. It will be great if the parts fit easily into the dishwasher.

Drawing conclusions
As you can see, the most popular models of electrosharpets have vertical loading. Perhaps, it is really more convenient. Well, while making the final choice, be guided by the number of eaters and the speed of cooking. If a shish kebab needs a little and is not very fast, take a cheap, low-power and compact model. For a large and very hungry company, look towards more powerful devices( from 1.25 kW)
Regarding the manufacturer, you can say this: domestic appliances of well-known companies( Caucasus, Neptune, Aroma, Picnic) are quite reliable and well perform their business. Shish kebabs are conscientious.
The imported shish kebabs have a beautiful and original design, often they are made using new innovative technologies. And still in these models often there are convenient additional adaptations. Take, for example, the above-mentioned model of the company Mystery, which not only can make shish kebab, but also the whole chicken bake, and fish on the grate to cook.
