I think it's better to immediately figure out what is a brazier, what is a grill, and what is a barbecue, because many, due to ignorance, confuse their purpose and the dishes prepared by these devices.
The brazier looks like a rectangular iron box without a lattice, we all know it perfectly and have seen it many times. Here you cannot do without skewers, on which you will have to string meat. We all have many times enjoyed the taste of cooked barbecue on this particular device.
The grill is a round brazier with a grate on which meat is placed and skewers are not needed here. Experts say that a lid is included with the grill, which covers the cooking dish, which contributes to an even distribution of temperature.
A barbecue has one difference from a grill: no lid.
Even professionals cannot determine what is in front of him now - a barbecue or a grill without a lid. Although you should not bother, but it is better to decide on the choice of a specific device. Is there really something that can prevent you from putting the grill on the grill, and already frying meat on it, like on the grill? Nothing, of course. And now let's see what grills, barbecues and barbecues are presented in our market.
I think that it will not make sense to further distinguish devices by name, since everything is already clear that there is practically no difference among them, but let's consider what they are (stationary, portable, or disposable).
Stationary. From the name it immediately becomes clear that such a device is installed once and can only be moved as a last resort, and then by several meters. You could see such devices in summer cottages, recreation centers, cafes, restaurants. Sometimes they are lined with stone for beauty or covered with concrete so as not to be pulled apart.
Mostly portable grills, barbecues and barbecues are foldable, which makes it possible for the owner to fold the accessories into a suitcase to transport from place to place or simply carry it behind his back. Also, such structures are large enough and can cause some inconvenience. If the dimensions are too large, then usually such grills, braziers or barbecues are equipped with a pallet or a small table. They can also be equipped with wheels that allow you to freely rearrange the device. Most often, such devices are made of stainless steel, but cast iron products are also not uncommon. Many people make a mistake and choose a grill, barbecue, barbecue for its beauty. First of all, pay attention to the practicality and ease of use of the device. It is better to choose a model that is painted black, the soot will not be so noticeable, and you will also have to clean it infrequently.
Several models of these devices have several levels of the grid for cooking, which will allow you to change the position of the meat. So you can pamper yourself with well-done steaks, medium-cooked or "with blood". And at the lower level of the grate location, it is possible to heat the soup in a saucepan or boil water.
It is worth noting that not all models of barbecues, barbecues and grills can light a fire inside by putting firewood.Basically, the models of such devices allow you to cook on pre-heated coals, which must be brought to condition in a certain "starter", which is a metal container with a handle. These "starters" are used to fire coal or wood. But there is one inconvenience: the need to carry this starter along with the "suitcase" of the folding grill. Almost all imported portable grills will not allow you to enjoy the taste of barbecue, since they do not have the opportunity to keep the heat for a long time and are better used for cooking sausages, sausages and other semi-finished products. Do not forget to read the instructions, because it may indicate that it is unacceptable for hot coals to come into contact with the walls of the device. The grill may warp and cannot be folded back. In general, do not throw out the instructions right away.
Disposable devices are already becoming an excellent alternative to foldable grills, barbecues and barbecues, which are known for their inconvenience to use. A disposable device of this type is found in almost any specialty store or supermarket. They look like a tray, which is made of aluminum foil, plus sealed in polyethylene. The disposable device is already filled with a layer of charcoal, there is a thin metal grate and a wire stand. In general, such devices are designed for 90 minutes of continuous operation and can cook up to 4 kg of meat. The weight of such a grill is only 300 to 400 grams. Such lightweight devices are suitable for frequent trips out of town, they also allow you to quickly and effortlessly remove all the "consequences" of your vacation.
Another important tip: When buying a grill or barbecue, try to buy a model that has a lid. It is thanks to her that the meat can be fried with a smoke. Coals can be put alder or cherry or peach chips, then cover the meat with a lid, then it smokes a little, which will give it an even brighter taste.
By the way, the considered devices are divided not only by the size and weight of the device, but also by the type of heating element. There are barbecues, barbecues and wood-burning (or coal) grills, there are gas (when purchasing this type, you will also have to purchase a gas cylinder) or electric. Naturally, portable and disposable devices are not electric, and the food cooked on such a grill does not taste so good, but models have already been developed that ensure the impregnation of meat with smoke, which is obtained from chips placed in a special compartment.
Weber, Landmann (Germany) Ferraboli & S.R.L should be noted among the import manufacturers of barbecues and grills. (Italy). Braziers are produced by our domestic manufacturer. You can find all the above discussed devices in a specialty store or in almost any supermarket.
I wish you pleasantly enjoy your vacation!
