The Redmond RAG-247 aerogrill makes a tasty healthy

Let’s test and evaluate the work of the air grill together with my so different household trapped in the insulation: my mother – a pensioner who loves everything healthy, and children – students who prefer tasty things without thinking about the benefits.

Let’s see how Redmond RAG-247 will be appreciated by such different people.

Operating principle

Redmond RAG-247 Aerogrill is a synthesis of grill, multicooker and deep fryer.

The grill gave the method of cooking, multivark – automatic programs and multitasking, the grill got the grate container from fryer, which is used for cooking. But instead of oil there is a hot cloud around the food, all the fat goes into the bowl.

Control

• On the touch panel in the center there is a power button. Press it – the screen lights up, showing the temperature and cooking time.
• On the left side of the power button there is a button for setting time from 1 till 30 min., On the right are temperatures from 80 to 200 ° C. You can select the required power level, press the power button again and go back to cooking: The aero grill switches itself off automatically after a set time, beeping when you get to know it.
• If you are not sure yourself to set the ideal parameters, trust the automatic programs. Under the power button there is the M button, press it, and on the panel the programs will be displayed one by one. When you have reached the right temperature, just press the on button and the process begins. And even if you don’t press the power button, the process starts automatically after a few seconds. A buzzer sounds at the end of the process, and the air grill stops working.
• Time and temperature can be changed while cooking, even in automatic programs.

Display

Everything is very clear. If you like to control the process, you can easily do this: the screen shows in turn the cooking temperature and the remaining time.

There is even a heat indicator, like in the oven. During cooking, it together with the indicator light flickers, creating a kind of beautiful dance, which is interesting to watch.

Totals

I tried the automatic test programs, but the manual control is enough for me: convenient and fast.

The young people in my house learned the aero grill very quickly. For some dishes, such as potatoes and steak, they preferred the autoprograms, for others, such as hot sandwiches, they set the cooking time and temperature themselves.

My mom is a lady of advanced years, it was easy to figure out the controls. But she did not want to use automatic programs it was much easier for her to use the manual mode.

It’s convenient that there are both automatic and manual modes. Everyone can choose the working algorithm that suits him or her best.

Functionality

In the set there is a book with recipes. This is where I started. It’s great that the book has a table of calories, it will help all who watch yourself, to calculate the number of servings.

All recipes are given with serving weights and exact amounts of ingredients. The manufacturer recommends keeping the proportions of all ingredients when recalculating the size.

A total of 50 ready-made recipes with such appetizing illustrations that it is difficult to choose one thing, I want all at once:

• appetizers: grilled chicken wings, chicken nuggets, chicken heart shish kebab, chicken toast, baked champignons, stuffed tomatoes, shrimps, mussels, tortilla chips.
• Meat dishes: stripline, beef medallions, steak, minced cutlets, French pork, veal liver, cutlets, ushtipz, grilled sausages, bacon cevapcici, pork cutlets, kebabs.
• Fish and seafood: salmon, trout with herbs, dorado, sea bass, white fish cutlets, salmon cutlets, scallops.
• Poultry dishes: wings with honey and garlic, wings with vegetables, turkey with gremolata, turkey kebab with kiwi, baked quails, pork shish kebab, pork steak, chicken shanks.
• Egg dishes: scrambled eggs, ham and cheese frittata.
• Garnishes: French fries, country-style potatoes, bacon baked potatoes, potato croquettes, eggplant with garlic dressing, roasted broccoli, grilled vegetables.
• Desserts: caramelized pineapple, biscuit, cottage cheese pie.

I’ve listed all the recipes on purpose, so you can see how many dishes you can make, just following the advice of the manufacturer. Anyone, even if he never cooked anything, can surprise their loved ones with great dishes, just choose a recipe from the book, and do exactly as written.

Functional test

Limited dough time didn’t allow me to try all the recipes in the book. We also cooked other dishes. In general, we made potato wedges more than once , stir-fries, chicken wings in different marinades, pork ribs, kebabs, grilled chicken, cutlets, baked fish, made various hot sandwiches, stewed broccoli and pumpkin.

• The potatoes come out fried like in an air fryer: golden on top and soft inside. And I pretty much didn’t add any butter. Chopped potatoes regular from the store , mixed in a bowl with salt, paprika or turmeric, a little splash of oil, stirred. We’ve made this dish about ten times. First on the automatic program, then in manual mode. Since the recipe calls for 400g and that’s not big enough for my family, I fried 600-800g and just added five minutes to the time. After about 10-12 minutes I would take the potatoes out – the air grill stops working automatically – stir the potatoes and put them back in. The program continued automatically.
• The meat dishes are great. The meat is juicy and tender. The meatballs come out with a crispy, dry crust compared to traditional griddle cooking. The biggest dish I made was half a broiler about 1 kg . I didn’t think 30 minutes was enough time, I added another 10 minutes. I was pleased with the result: tasty crust, juicy, well baked meat.
• Fish dishes. Also great results.
• Vegetables. I baked broccoli and pumpkin. Since I increased the portion size, I increased the cooking time accordingly I immediately added time when programming . What surprised? The ones that my teenagers agreed to try, and then gobbled up with gusto the baked pumpkin, which I had previously sliced into squares, buttered, salted, sprinkled with rosemary and cooked in manual mode for 20 minutes at 180 ° C.
• Hot sandwiches. This is my students’ favorite breakfast in isolation. Here they turned around and cooked complicated multi-storey sandwiches, where the bottom is necessarily bread and the cheese on the very top. In between, whatever we find in the fridge. In 10 minutes you get a deliciously tasty dish with beautifully spreading hot cheese.

Bottom line

The air grill is a multifunctional device, in which you can cook a variety of delicious dishes.

Two drawbacks: small portion size. Redmond RAG-247

Ideal for cooking for two or maximum three people. For larger volumes, it is of course better to use a standard oven. And not always enough 30 minutes – the maximum timer time.
