Features of the Redmond brand

The name of the company is associated primarily with multicookers. But the brand’s product catalog includes the names of dozens of different kitchen products.

Another direction of the company is smart home appliances. Despite the fact that the brand uses all the innovative developments, the equipment remains easy to use.

Reference! The country of origin of the equipment is Redmond Russia.

The main feature of the brand is multitasking.
Many products include multiple functions at the same time, which saves space and time. There are several other features that make this company stand out from others:

1. Despite the fact that the product characteristics are very high, the price does not exceed the cost of other brands;
2. The brand has its own smartphone application. It allows you to program equipment and adjust it to your lifestyle;
3. Modern interesting design that will fit into any interior.

Smart technology greatly simplifies everyday life and allows you to spend more time on your favorite activities.

What to look for when choosing and purchasing?

The electric grill is a multifunctional and convenient appliance, indispensable for many housewives. What could be better than a crispy crust and juicy meat inside, cooked without using a lot of oil.

Grills differ according to some criteria:

1. Built-in grill. Great for professional use;
2. Floor electric grill. The best option for a private home. This type of grill is usually used outdoors;
3. Tabletop mini grills.

The latest models are the best choice for an apartment kitchen. They are also divided into several subspecies, according to the principle of heat treatment:

1. Contactless . The principle of processing products by blowing hot air applies here. The food does not come into contact with the grill; skewers or a spit are used for cooking. This processing method allows you to preserve the maximum amount of beneficial properties of the product.
2. Contact grills . Food is prepared directly on the grill surface. This option allows you to create a beautiful crust. The grill surface can be either smooth or corrugated.

When choosing a specific model of Redmond grills, you should pay attention to some more characteristics :

• Maximum power. The higher this indicator is, the less time the cooking will take;

Important! Fluctuations in electricity can significantly slow down operation, even with a high-power device.

• A removable tray will make cleaning the equipment easier;
• Timer and start with the ability to delay the start time of cooking;
• Ability to regulate temperature;
• Tilt angle adjustment. The function will help when cooking meat; the tilt will allow excess fat to roll into the pan;
• Handles with thermal protection will help avoid burns.

Packaging and delivery

The packaging, as always with REDMOND, is of high quality both outside and inside. The device is securely placed in a strong cardboard box of high-quality printing. Inside the device and its kit are fixed with foam trays. On the front of the package you can see an image of a grill and the delicious food prepared with it. At the ends there is information about the functionality of the device with a description of automatic programs and degrees of frying, model name, and technical characteristics of the grill. The manufacturer focused the buyer’s attention on a proprietary mobile application, which should make it easier to set up and select a recipe for cooking not only in this grill, but also using other kitchen appliances of the company. To make it easy to find the application on GooglePlay, there is a QR code on the package for quick downloading. Please note: the manufacturer provides a one-year warranty on its device, but you can get an extended warranty if you register in the REDMOND branded application - Ready for Sky. This will give you an extra year of free service.

The box is equipped with a plastic handle for convenient carrying of your purchase. Here, on the top end, you will see an image of the device, which is shown in the photo in barbecue mode. The QR code will help you find out the most comprehensive information about the product; by scanning it, you will be taken to the product description on the manufacturer’s website.

Description of the appearance of the device

In addition to its great capabilities, the device also has an excellent design. Color combination: a metal chrome-plated lid and a powerful base in a metal case harmonize well. The combined materials from which the grill and its kit are made have proven themselves well in practice. The top lid has a matte coating, it does not collect greasy fingerprints, and after cooking, it is easy to care for - grease and food residues are easy to wash off, if necessary, you can rub it well, but the top layer of this coating does not wash off. There is a sticker on the lid and I did not remove it during cooking. Also on the lid you can see the brand name embossed.

The lid is equipped with a metal handle with plastic inserts. Looking ahead, I will say that the handle does not heat up during cooking; it is located at a considerable distance from the heating elements. The handle also serves as a support when using the device as a barbecue. Thanks to the movable top panel, the grill can be rotated 180 degrees.

To unlock the cover, use the button on the end of the device. It is worth noting that in the normal state the lid opens perpendicular to the base and is fixed in this position while you place or remove products. There is a tray eject button at the top end of the lid. The lid has ventilation holes around the perimeter.

The base, as I mentioned above, is also made of metal. On the front side there is a control panel. It is presented in the form of buttons, an encoder with a built-in button and an LCD display. The buttons click with a click and there are no accidental presses.

On the left side of the base there is a button for removing the panel from the lower base.

The base of the grill is protected by a lid, which is made of durable black plastic with a glossy surface. A tray is made of the same material to collect oil or fat, the excess of which flows into it during cooking. It is quite roomy, and during the preparation of various dishes it has never filled to the brim with liquid.

I would like to note that the plastic had a smell immediately after unpacking, but lost it during testing. The base of the device has a compartment for storing the power cord. This, in my opinion, is a useful detail for compact storage of the device. The grill is stable on any surface thanks to the 4 rubberized legs at the base, but it is better that the device is placed only on a flat surface.

About the removable panels, it is worth saying that they have a large size of 31*24 cm and a corrugated surface, characteristic for preparing proper meat and vegetables. Thanks to the indentations, excess moisture is removed from raw products - vegetable juice or meat fat.

Both the top and bottom panels are exactly the same, and both have a drainage channel. This means that it is not necessary to control their correct placement: top/bottom. Each baking sheet has a non-stick coating. On the reverse side you can see that they are equipped with built-in heating elements. Heating elements are designed to distribute heat evenly over their surface. This technology is not used by all manufacturers of electric grills - we have expensive, high-quality kitchen appliances.

The panels can be easily removed and installed back with a characteristic click. When the grill is closed, they fit tightly together. But there is a height adjustment mechanism, thanks to which placing a very thick piece of meat on a baking sheet will not be any problem. And thus, it becomes possible to prepare a dish according to the oven principle: a special container with high walls is installed in the grill, where the food will simmer.

Removing the panels reveals a protruding block with a spring-loaded button.

This is what the grill looks like from the back

Device in operation

The very first, and most important, in my opinion, condition when buying a grill is removable panels. Of course, such panels are not only easier to maintain, but if damaged by time or careless handling, they can be replaced with new ones. Looking ahead, I will say that REDMOND sells them individually, and the panels, top and bottom, are identical and interchangeable.

The second condition that I would be guided by when buying such a device is the variety of programs. With good technology, it will be easy to cook correctly and tasty, and you won’t have to be present and constantly monitor the process, calculate the time; engineers should take care of this for you.

Of course, it wouldn’t be superfluous to be able to use the grill as a barbecue broiler or even as an oven.

Ahead of events, I admit that everything in this model was done conscientiously, and all the wishes I described above were satisfied.

So, I will describe the operation of this model. The device can perform the functions of three devices:

1. grill,
2. B-B-Q,
3. oven.

It is worth noting that the device is equipped with sound support; sound signals from time to time throughout the process will inform you about the stages of cooking. This model features push-button control and user information via an LCD display. The controls are very simple. So, on the front panel there are 2 buttons responsible for turning the device on/off and a button for switching to manual mode, as well as an encoder (rotary joystick) with a button located on it. The function of the joystick is to select an automatic program, change the temperature and cooking time.

A variety of automatic programs will be available for you to review on a black and white display. The manufacturer offers to use the device for defrosting, heating food, for cooking bacon, poultry, and offers a special program for preparing sausages, meat, fish, cutlets or burgers. On the screen you can also monitor the stages of cooking, and the inscription on the screen will inform you about the degree of frying of the product at this stage (RARE - medium-done, MEDIUM - medium-done, WELL DONE - well-done).

A complete description of all programs and their launch are described in detail in the instructions.

It is worth saying that the device can operate in one of 2 modes.

1. Smart mode Why smart? Yes, because the device will independently adjust the cooking time depending on the type of product and its thickness. Smart mode allows cooking only when the lid of the device is closed. All you need to do to start this mode is turn the encoder and select the desired program. Place the food and cover it with a lid. The device will automatically determine the thickness of the bookmark and the cooking time. The cooking process will then begin, during which indicators and sound signals will inform you of the level of doneness. You can interrupt the program or turn off the device manually at any stage. Otherwise, upon completion of the initially set automatic program, the device will turn off.

As I noted above, the manufacturer recommends preparing food according to specially selected recipes, which you can find in the Cooking with REDMOND mobile application.

First of all, this application is designed for users who like to cook according to recipes. In fact, this application is a digital duplicate of a paper recipe book. At the same time, the application itself has quite good functions, such as a timer, the ability to share recipes, add notes, mark available ingredients, and search for recipes by criteria.

2. If you want to cook a dish according to your own original recipe, then select Manual mode. To start it, just press the M button and use the encoder to set the temperature (range from 70 to 230°C in steps of 10°C) and cooking time (range from 1 to 88 minutes in steps of 1 minute). The manual mode allows for cooking with both the grill lid closed and open. You can also use the device in barbecue mode.

I would like to say that the body of the device does not heat up during cooking in any of these modes, and its handle accordingly. The cord is long enough, and the grill can be placed at a distance from the outlet and apron in the kitchen; the tray is very capacious, and during the preparation of various dishes it has never been filled to the top. The device is quite weighty, but has compact dimensions. We easily take it with us to the dacha and even to visit (at the request of friends, who, by the way, live in their house with a stationary barbecue))) We go to their place for a barbecue, and they, in turn, at the same time prepare steaks for themselves at our grill. It looks funny. But this is a fact: grilled meat and fish are delicious! )

It is very easy to care for the device. The materials are practical. The panels are removable, replaceable, with a non-stick coating. They are easy to clean and therefore quite simple to care for. The main thing is to avoid using aggressive household chemicals and abrasive materials. And allow it to cool naturally for cleaning in order to prepare the next dish.

An electric grill in a country house, outside the city, where there is no gas supply, is simply a salvation for the housewife. To tell you the truth, my parents don’t use gas at their dacha: it’s expensive to refill the cylinder, and there’s essentially nowhere to refill it. Recently, the use of gas on the site generally needs to be registered. Therefore, they have stopped saving on electricity and are actively starting to use induction cookers, multicookers, and now grills. Our granny, inviting her grandchildren to the dacha, manages to do everything: feed them, play, and tend to the garden. Cooking with a grill is very simple.

• For breakfast, it can be sandwiches baked with boiled sausage, vegetables and cheese. Or pre-cooked pancakes stuffed with chicken and cheese, grilled.
• For lunch, you can cook meatballs in sour cream sauce in a special baking sheet with high sides or bake fish with carrots and vegetables.
• For dessert, children will enjoy sweet chocolate cookies covered in powdered sugar and berries.
• If for some reason you can’t cook barbecue at your dacha, that means... it’s a bad dacha))) No. This means that for dinner the hostess is ready to surprise you with delicious steaks or a piece of baked red fish
• We fry vegetables in the grill: eggplants and tomatoes, grandma bakes open pies from yeast dough with meat filling or boiled sausage.

They seem to be ordinary dishes, simple recipes, but they take on an unusual taste when grilled. This is true. Moreover, any dish is prepared very quickly.

That’s how tasty I’ll move on to testing and documenting this action.

The first thing the grill is actually intended for is cooking steaks.

In the morning I marinate the meat with salt, spices, soy sauce, lemon juice, bay leaf. This time I used the neck of the pork. I know that steaks are ideally made from beef, but my husband can’t stand this meat. I started the automatic program - Cooking meat, and selected the degree of doneness as MEDIUM. As a result, the meat was fried, juicy, aromatic and very soft.

Having launched the smart program “Cooking cutlets and burgers” , I fried these delicious envelopes from puff pastry, boiled chicken fillet and 2 types of cheese. For comparison, I’m posting photos of the same envelopes, made from the same dough and filling, but prepared by my daughter and baked in the oven at her request. Having tasted the envelopes from the grill, she refused to eat the pies from the oven. To be honest, the same dish has completely different tastes.

• Out of the oven, the envelopes looked appetizing, but very dry, the filling was crumbly and dry.
• Unlike grilled envelopes. They are very tasty and juicy, with gooey cheese melted inside and a crispy crust.

And here they are - out of the oven!

Using the Vegetables program, it’s delicious to fry eggplants

Sprinkle the fried eggplants with parsley and garlic or bake them in a special baking tray, placing it on the grill using the oven mode.

For a sweet dessert, I made cookies. The recipe was chosen from the REDMOND recipe book. To prepare cookies, I chose the Manual mode.

The dough has no added sugar, if you noticed. We made a lot of powdered sugar in a blender. Sprinkle it on the cookies when they have cooled, to taste each one. It turned out to be a very tasty delicacy. For the last batches I made smaller dough balls, the cookies turned out thinner and crispier.

Conclusion

I am very pleased with the purchase. Having tested this kitchen appliance, in particular the RGM-M816P model, in different modes, I was convinced once again that a grill is not an extravagance in the kitchen. This device can easily compensate for the lack of, for example, a compact oven or become an additional huge frying pan, like a barbecue, when suddenly “guests arrive on the doorstep.” The dishes will be ready in a matter of minutes. With the help of such a device, it is easy and simple to prepare dietary meat and vegetables, without frying in oil, without mayonnaise and fatty cheese batter. Practical materials, high-quality assembly, thoughtful design and high-quality execution, easy controls, manual and automatic operating modes indicate that the manufacturer made this smart equipment to simplify the life of the housewife and to celebrate the belly. The compact dimensions of the grill generally allow you to take it with you to the dacha or to visit friends who, strange as it may sound, live in their own house with a barbecue on the terrace, but are delighted with hot and appetizing steaks!
