Shawarma Grill

What should I look for when buying a shawarma grill?

Maxima has a wide range of shawarma grills to offer. The most important difference between these appliances is the way the meat is heated. There is a choice between a shawarma grill with either an electric or gas burner.

The size of the appliance is also important and should be based on how much meat you want to cook at the same time. There are grills with five burners, which can handle between 80 and 100kg of meat. The smallest and most economical model has a single gas burner. Here, the skewer must be turned manually, while the other grills have a motor that automatically rotates the skewer during grilling. It’s also important to take into account that some devices work on 230V of power and others on 400V so check what the capacity available to you is.

How much meat can I prepare with a shawarma grill?

How many kilogrammes of meat you can prepare at once depends on the number of burners. With a grill with one gas burner, you can place slices of meat up to a total weight of 10kg on the spit. A two burner shawarma grill can accommodate 20kg, while the three burner grills can cook between 30 and 40kg of meat. The appliances with four burners are good for between 50 and 70kg, and those with five burners can accommodate 80 to 100kg.

How do you clean a shawarma grill?

It’s important to start with a clean appliance when you begin cooking pieces of meat. Fortunately, these appliances are easy to clean. First, make sure the appliance has cooled down and remove the plug from the socket. The parts that come in contact with meat can be removed. You can clean these with a mild detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. The larger parts, such as the skewer and the meat plate, can be washed in the dishwasher. Just like the housing, these parts are made from stainless steel and, thanks to their smooth surface, are easy to clean.
