Overview of the electric grill KT-1631

The electric grill was delivered in a simple Kitfort branded box. By design, you can understand that the model belongs to the budget segment. However, this is not so important as the equipment, and here things are as follows. Opening the box, I found:

• Grill;
• Removable tray
• Removable panels;
• Instruction;
• Warranty card.

These components are packed with foam inlays. Panels with an installed heating element are additionally protected by cardboard gaskets. Actually, this is enough for the safe transportation of goods, since no damage was found.

At first glance, the model looks modern. Steel plate and metal sidewalls are harmoniously combined with a plastic case. Since the handle extends forward, it is difficult to burn yourself with an electric grill. But the same factor negatively affects the dimensions of the model. The grease tray is inserted effortlessly into the grooves that are located at the back. The top panel is mounted on hinges, so it is possible to smoothly adjust the angle of inclination. When you open the model is fixed at position 90. In the review of the electric grill KT-1631 it is worth saying that there were no special problems with understanding how everything works. To fully open the device 180 degrees - you just need to push the latch, which is located on the right handle. In general, everything is intuitive. Nevertheless, the instruction is provided, and I recommend that you read the manual for proper care of the device.

In this Kitfort contact electric grill there is only one control element - a mechanical regulator. In this case, you can set the temperature in the range from 100 C to 200 C. But you have to rely on intuition, since the indication is not provided. Nevertheless, the legs mounted on the body were pleased. With their help, you can increase the angle of inclination for draining fat. The manufacturer also took care of the presence of legs on the grill handle, which act as a support when using the device when unfolded.
In the description of Kitfort KT-1631 I can not help but note that the grease collection pan copes well with the task. For cleaning, just rinse in warm water without the use of aggressive detergents. Based on the instructions, it is better not to clean the panels in the dishwasher.

As part of the tests, it turned out that at maximum power the device consumes from 1300 to 1400 watts. Only 2 minutes are required before working heating. This is enough to reach a temperature of 130C. It takes another 90 seconds to reach mark II. By this time, the temperature will reach 190 C. It takes about 5 minutes to reach Max. It is worth adding that the panel heats up evenly. Despite the fact that the model belongs to an inexpensive segment, electric grill copes well with two-sided frying. In expanded mode, certain tilt problems may occur. In general, we begin to review the Kitfort KT-1631 tests.

Given that there is no recipe book, we decided to cook simple dishes that can be done using an electric grill. Started with chicken breasts. For their preparation required ordinary spices, which are used for grilled chicken, sunflower oil. Left to marinate for 30 minutes. After the designated time, set the position of the regulator to the second value - "II". As soon as the panels reached the required heating temperature, put the chicken breast on an electric grill. The timer was set for 6 minutes, and this was enough for uniform frying. As a result, the meat turned out soft but without a crisp.

Vegetables decided to cook on one side, and faced with a problem. The fact is that the panel leaned over and the vegetables began to slide towards the center. Therefore, it is better not to overload the fryer with products. Prepare the second half of the eggplant in a double-sided mode, laying it out on the most heated panel. After 5 minutes, they baked well, became soft and tasty, but again there is no crust. Thus, I was satisfied with the result, but I felt certain shortcomings in the operation of the brazier. With a maximum temperature of 200 degrees, it takes more time to cook, for example, pork steaks than on older models, he doesn’t have enough power, but since this is a budget model, we won’t pump it up, for 3,500 rubles everything is adequately collected.

Summarize the review of the Kitfort KT-1631 electric grill I want to share my personal opinion with you. In my opinion, the design feature of the device, due to the ability to use the grill also as a roasting pan, is a fairly successful solution, but it lacks a bit of power. Despite the low price, the assembly is good and the materials are of high quality. However, the device reaches the operating heating temperature quickly. Unfortunately, I did not have the latch for the top panel in fryer mode. But, the spaciousness and unpretentiousness of the device clearly compensate for this minus. In general, for the money this is a good solution, the model performs all the basic functions, and I want to say separately about the removable panels, which is what many models lack, it’s much easier to clean the grill, so when buying such equipment, always pay attention to the possibility of removing them for cleaning.

Contact electric grill KT-1631 is a good value for money. The floating top panel along with its compact dimensions, convenient pallets and burn protection deserve the attention of every lover of steaks, vegetables and fish. For a small cost you get a device that performs all its functions. If you are looking for an economical option, this model should definitely be considered as one of the candidates. At the same time, it is not worth placing special hopes on the roasting mode, since this is not the main task of the grill, but a nice bonus. We hope that in this review of KT-1631 we have sorted out all the nuances and brought to you all the necessary information.
