Overview of the air grill Kitfort KT-2206 Eva

Already having experience buying Kitfort goods, I dare say that the box in which the grill was delivered is decorated in a classic style for the company: it is made of corrugated cardboard, supplemented with a bright glossy yellow film, outwardly the box looks not very beautiful in my opinion. Traditionally, there are no handles for transporting equipment. Therefore, carrying goods home is extremely inconvenient - it is better either by car or order delivery.

It was pleasantly pleased that the company employees professionally packaged Kitfort KT-2206 Eva aerogrill. The device is located between the cardboard inserts, but is fixed quite tightly. Together with the device, I found instructions, a warranty card and advertising from the company. By the way, I could not help but pay attention to the red sticker, which says about the ability to call at any time if you have questions. And, as personal experience shows, the company has really responsive technical support. Out of curiosity, he called, and they connected me to the manager for 2 minutes, and it pleases me.

Describing the appearance of the KT-2206 Eva I will not limit myself to the manifestation of emotions. The design is really impressive, I really liked it. I was surprised that the manufacturers of technology paid so much attention to the aesthetic side of the issue. In general, here I am proud not only of my own choice, but also of Russian equipment manufacturers. Glossy plastic blends perfectly with the matte control panel, which is implemented in black. Symbiosis perfectly complements the high-quality basket handle in black and silver.
The shape of the cylinder with the cut off top of the device, when the blue backlight lights up, makes you forget about the purpose of the device. It feels like you can turn on this device and it will fly beyond the borders of our planet.

In general, given the appearance and name of the device, we can assume that developers like to watch Disney cartoons. Users who watched the WALL-E cartoon will understand me. Regarding the convenience of the case, there are also 5+. A convenient handle for transporting the device is hidden in the case. In addition, the network cable pleases with its length. Hot air vents are located on the back of the case, which also does not spoil the impression of a stylish design. At the bottom there are soft legs with rubber pads that prevent the apparatus from sliding on the table. In general, the first impression of the Kitfort aerogrill is not just good, it is great!

“Not all that glitters is gold” ... About such a stereotypical thought tormented me until I got to the insides of the novelty. But, it turned out that the bowl with the basket was also made competently and with a non-stick coating. Items were removed without much effort.To complete the task, it is enough just to apply the onslaught in the horizontal plane. Inside the Kitfort KT-2206 Eva hot air grill is an aluminum surface, and the upper part has a heating element with a fan. To disconnect the basket, just click on the special button, which is located on the handle of the device.

It is worth adding that the controller for opening the case is protected by a thin transparent curtain - in order to avoid accidental touches. At the bottom, the developers performed perforations in the form of small circles, and vertical slots on the sides. Accordingly, due attention has been paid to protecting the device from overheating, and this is an obvious plus. Given that the basket does not touch the walls of the bowl, it can be assumed that the circulation of air masses is excellent.

I myself know, as a rule, the first positive impression of technology leads to a biased assessment of other important parameters. Therefore, before writing the next part of the review KT-2206 Eva, a short break was made. I decided to test the next day after inspecting the new items:

Liked:

• after turning on the device to the network, the control panel backlight immediately lights up;
• to activate the panel you need to hold the power button pressed for about 2-3 seconds;
• 8 automatic programs are installed, and you can adjust the temperature manually;
• To the left of the large digits of the display there are heating indicators.

I was able to understand without instructions that to set the required temperature it is enough to touch the “Plus” or “Minus” sign. In this case, the parameter range is in the range from 80 to 200 ° C.
On the right, similar buttons are responsible for the operation time of the Kitfort KT-2206 Eva air grill. Range from 1 to 60 minutes in increments of 60 seconds.

Did not like:

• large size of the air grill for a volume of 2.5 liters;
• fast scrolling of time is not available, because you need to hold the button.

To select any of 8 programs, you must touch the icon consisting of 3 lines. Each touch indicates a change of task: from left to right.
In the description of the operation of the air grill from KT-2206 Eva, I want to share another nice feature - auto power off. The device independently resets the settings and turns off if you have not used it for 5 minutes. You will be informed about this through a series of sound signals.

It is worth noting that the device did not smell like cheap plastic, which is typical for budget models, judging by the reviews of other users. For obvious reason, I did not wash it, as indicated in the instructions. I limited myself to washing the basket and the pallet with running water. Honestly, I’m not immediately used to the long touch of some buttons. But this feature is more likely an advantage of Kitfort KT-2206 Eva than a disadvantage if there are children in the house. In other words, it is a kind of protection against accidental clicks.
The design of the model is convenient:

• easy to transport;
• the bowl and basket are extended by the handle;
• the handle does not heat up;
• there is a button with protection for disconnecting the basket;
• Thanks to the quality coating, it is easy to wash the removable elements.

I believe that you can find fault with the dimensions of the model, given its spaciousness, but I won’t, because I understand the idea of ​​the developers. In fact, the ratio of the dimensions and capacity of the bowl is easily explained by the quality of ventilation. So that the air blows around the products and you get such a delicious crust, this is a necessary measure. So that you have an idea of ​​spaciousness, I will say that about 4 large oranges are placed in it.

The air grill operates very quietly, emits little steam. Due to the presence of a timer, the risk of food burning is unlikely. At the same time, cooking fatty foods is carried out without problems, as the fat drains into the pan. Honestly, the initially too small gap between the basket and the reservoir for collecting fat was alarming, but it’s enough - don’t worry!

I decided to share my impressions about the care of the KT-2206 Eva air grill. I'm worried that someone will ruin the design from Kitfort craftsmen.I recommend to monitor the cleanliness of your hands, because leaving prints is very simple. I wipe the case regularly with a damp cloth, but this will only happen at first. In fact, an ordinary dry cloth is quite suitable for this task. The pallet is easily washed with warm water, which is due to the presence of a good non-stick coating. If you missed the right moment and the remnants of food had time to dry, feel free to send the indicated components of your kitchen assistant to the dishwasher.

So that the KT-2206 Eva air grill review does not seem like another advertisement from the company, I decided to test it with a power meter. I wanted to find a flaw, and I know where to look for it. When heated, power consumption is 1340 watts. However, here you judge. As for the standby time, the indicator is only 1 W. There is no fault!

It's time to share your impressions of the KT-2206 Eva air grill tests. To my shame, I will say that I was definitely not a culinary specialist in a past life. Actually, experienced users will be able to understand this from photographs. However, there are no complaints or complaints about the quality of the equipment. With an objective self-esteem order. It took less than a minute to reflect on where it made a mistake. Firstly, do not interrupt the cooking process. I had to because I initially overloaded the bowl with chicken. Secondly, do not worry about the presence of fluid inside, as the temperature is high and excess moisture flows into the drip tray. Unfortunately, I added time to the automatic mode, and the potatoes turned out to be rather dry. On the second attempt, everything worked out. But let's get it in order.

There was no mood for culinary fantasy. Therefore, I decided to cook a classic bachelor dinner of fried chicken and potatoes. Assuming that I could be disappointed with the result of the first experiment, I did not pickle the meat. He made a simple sauce of garlic, basil and mayonnaise, with which he smeared the ham and pre-cut potatoes into quarters. I put too many ingredients in the bowl, so after 30 minutes I decided to get the finished pieces and finished it for another 10 minutes. You don’t have to do this! It is better not to load the bowl to the maximum initially. Actually, the portion was too large even for two people.

I expected it to turn out worse, but the Kitfort KT-2206 Eva air grill coped with a difficult task. After cooking, I realized that you could add more sauce. Fat briskly drains into the pan, and the meat is obtained with a beautiful, crispy crust. At the same time, the inside of the ham is quite tender and soft. Cooked in 180 degrees mode.

In the review of the KT-2206 Eva air grill, I want to note that this device will not disappoint lovers of french fries. This side dish was cooked under the guidance of a friend who loves a Belgian dish. Following the instructions, he sliced ​​the potatoes into slices and placed in water for 30 minutes. After that, I dried the ingredients and greased them with butter. You can not bother - just add one and a half tablespoons of oil to the bowl with potatoes. Then close the lid and shake the bowl. Open and top with sunflower oil so that it spreads over the slices. In the "Free" mode, cooked for 20 minutes. Even in the process of cooking, I realized that I added a little sunflower oil. Nevertheless, the french fries turned out to be rosy and crispy.

Thus, summing up the description of Kitfort KT-2206 Eva, I can say that the device pleased throughout the acquaintance: from opening the box to the sink after cooking the potatoes. The design is very interesting, the functionality is quite enough. Convenience in operation deserves special attention. At the same time, you should consider that there are not as many 2.5 liter bowls as we would like. It mainly consists of the height of the walls, but the diameter is small. However, the device looks massive and weighs 4.5 kilograms. I wanted to find a grid installed inside the air grill to create two levels, but failed. In general, it cooks quickly, removes fat efficiently, and the ventilation is excellent.
