Roasting, drying food, baking and more: We checked Ninja's grill (Photo: PR)

Israelis like to do on the fire, and a lot, especially on Independence Day.

Whether you are hosting at home or considering hosting at home but do not have a grill, it seems that this year there are quite a few solutions that will allow you to cook on a high level fire and without a charcoal barbecue or on gas.

Ninja Company is responsible for the advanced and popular blenders and food processors we have seen in recent years, but the company has a few more surprises up its sleeve like the Ninja Grill.

This is a home grill that does not produce much smoke (almost not) and is able to do several operations in one product.

We checked.

Design and functionality

Ninja's grill looks like a frying pan in hot air, and not for nothing - he knows how to do it too.

It provides 5 different cooking programs: grilling, grilling, baking, frying in hot air and drying food.

On the face of it, this seems to be the perfect product, with the maximum temperature of the grill being 265 degrees, with a uniform heat distribution.

For example, if you roast an entrecote steak or any other portion, the degree of making will be perfect and equal, and you will not get one side that is too made and another side that is raw.

The ninja weighs 6.5 kg which is not too heavy, but on the other hand it is the kind of products that if they are used frequently, it is better to just leave them on the counter. The grill is made of quality materials, with a stainless steel finish and plastic at the top. It does not radiate extraordinary luxury Like the new generation, which is also 50% larger than it is, but it will also not spoil your kitchen.The

kit includes three parts for cooking: a cast grill plate for even distribution of heat, a frying basket in hot air, and a cooking pot with a volume of 5.7 liters. All parts are washable In the dishwasher and this is a great advantage that you just do not have to "break your head" on how to clean them (subject to a dishwasher at home). You can also find a spray shield in the kit that can also be disassembled and washed in the dishwasher. Of the grill.

Was he up to the task?

Ninja's grill pretends to do a lot, but it is enough to perform one operation perfectly (and it is of course grilling for me) for me to justify the premium of about 1,200 shekels.

For the test, I stocked up on a few chunks, sirloin and entrecote, using the ninja a few times.

It should be noted that the guides that come with the ninja, and while other importers are lazy, and attach recipes in foreign languages, the ninja (Sarig) importer attaches recipes in Hebrew regularly, in all the products I tested, and it may seem marginal, but it is definitely important.

It also provides instructions on how to use the grill to achieve the desired degree of workmanship.

I must point out that it is a bit tricky and requires quite a bit of "confidence", because unlike a pan or grill, here the piece is closed and you can not see and see how done it is, but only rely on the good instructions attached, but they are not enough to give me "peace of mind ".

The ninja got smarter and bigger head, and in the new grill they added a temperature gauge that can be stuck in the slice, thus making sure that you reach the exact degree of workmanship.

Here it is an accurate doubt, an intelligent guessing doubt.

Up to 265 degrees and about ten minutes per portion

The grill reaches a maximum temperature of 265 degrees for roasting, with the "High" temperature (one of four modes: Low, Medium, High and Max) intended for steaks.

Inside the instruction booklet, it is explained how much time it is estimated to leave the chunks inside, while inside the grill there is room for about two chunks of 300 grams each.

(If you plan to cook a meal for 10 diners, it will take you some time, and I would give up in advance. But if you plan to prepare a meal for two or 4 people in total, the grill is a good solution.

After I chose the desired temperature and the grill reached it (about ten minutes ), I put the chunks for a few minutes and waited.I took a safety factor and added another minute (out of 8 minutes, ninja's recommended time to get to the degree of doing I chose), to be sure the chunks would be at the desired degree of doing, and not too nice.To my surprise, I managed to score just a temperature wanted, stitch to becoming a middle to scorch both sides. scorch grill gives it surprising certainly, when it seems charring obtained a gas grill or pan stripes.

flavors were good, it's hard to say that it was similar tastes and aromas obtained a gas grill on the other hand, are not There were flavors that would be obtained in cooking on a pan.It was in the middle, and for the avoidance of doubt, in my eyes cooking on a pan and gas grill are great and everyone has their preferences.It is a better solution than making a steak on a pan (to my taste), and this is a better solution for those who want Make a steak, but also do not want to light the barbecue or for those who are looking for a device that is simply able to make everything from everything.

Not just a grill: a versatile tool for grilling, frying, baking and more

Although in most of my testing I referred to it as a grill, I forgot for a moment that it is much more than that, and it can perform a wide range of operations like baking, frying in hot air and more.

It has passed the grill task successfully, and whether you live in an apartment or a private home, it is a product that will upgrade your meal with a minimum of effort.

The Ninja Grill will cost you NIS 1,590, and in my opinion it is a particularly successful and affordable product.
