Grilling sustainably: The best tips for electric and gas grills!
Grilling is becoming very popular, especially with summer approaching. When choosing a grill, not only preparation but also environmental friendliness plays a crucial role. While the classic charcoal grill is valued for its distinctive smoky flavor, there are significant concerns about its sustainability. The origin of charcoal can be negative for the environment, especially when tropical woods are used. This makes gas or electric grills more sustainable alternatives, as Anke Scheiber from Stiftung Warentest highlights. The foundation has also found that electric grills powered by green electricity are particularly environmentally friendly and can be a lot of fun when grilling.
Energy efficiency plays a big role when grilling, especially when electric grills are used. To save energy, we recommend keeping the hood closed while heating up and grilling. In addition, the grilled food should be brought to room temperature before being placed on the grill. The entire grill area should also be used to avoid repeated heating. Ultimately, sustainability depends not only on the grill itself, but also on the selection of the food to be grilled. Vegetarian options have a better environmental footprint, while meat lovers can grill more environmentally consciously by eating locally and organically raised meat.
Advantages of charcoal grills
- Große Grillfläche für viel Grillgut
- Haube für indirektes Grillen
- Komfortable Arbeitshöhe durch Unterbau
- Praktische Seitenablagen
These features make charcoal grill stations a popular choice. The range includes models such as the Thüros stainless steel column grill and the Napoleon Charcoal Professional, which boasts a grill surface of 86 x 46 cm. The BULL Bison charcoal grill also offers generous space at 76 x 49 cm. An interesting option is the LotusGrill XXL, which ensures smoke-free combustion with its innovative ignition technology. The range is rounded off by Masterbuilt digital grill stations, which can be operated with both charcoal and briquettes and enable precise temperature settings.
Considering the benefits and sustainable alternatives, every barbecue lover should make an informed decision that benefits both the palate and the environment. Both the electrification of grilling and the selection of products used can make a decisive contribution to reducing the ecological footprint.
