Excellent for "Korean Style" BBQ! No smoke and very easy to clean
I bought this at Murakai Supermarket in Cupertino, CA after seeing it on display. Well, I had bought some Kobe style beef and other meaty slices to replicate the indoor Korean BBQs. My wife suggested I use our existing "skillet style" grills, which to me is not the same. For one thing I hate it when the meat "bathes" in it's own meat sauce as it is cooking and consequently doesn't give that authentic grill flavor. Therein lies the Livart Orange BBQ grill, which on a side note is actually made by LG, definitely makes thin slices of beef takes a 100 times better then if it was cooked on a skillet. What I didn't expect was a lack of smoke and as such it makes grilling indoors that much more enjoyable.
The grill itself seems to be very well built and a no-brainer to assemble. It comes with a pan that you will have to fill with water every time you grill. The water in the pan catches the fat drippings and makes cleaning a breeze. The description on the box said the grill...
Good info on this "Perfect Product"
I'm very happy, but heres some information I wanted to know before I purchased this. 115 volt, 1200 watts, 2 store bought bugers fit with room to spare, but 3 do not fit. Perfect for 1 or 2 people.
I can barely hold my hand to 3 Mississipi, estimating the temp. over 800 F degrees. The temp is there, but, the heat lacks the volume propane grills have. Figure 1 to 2 minutes longer per side.
Less important info. As teenager I started with charcoal, switched to propane for conveinance. I down sized to a small compact propane for more convienance. Nothing beats this electric for conveinance, heck I BBQ my beacon while frying eggs on the stove. I use this 1 to 3 times per day.
The instruction's tell me to turn off and unplug between uses, I just unplug mine. Also, cleaning and fat draining is recomended after use, I dont do that either, I clean after 3 days.
Exactly what I was looking for.
I've been looking for a Korean or Japanese style grill that is electrice and yet perform like a charcoal grill. Tried some of the other electric grills from DeLonghi to George Forman - they all work well but never did create the 'char-broil' meat I wanted. I was visiting Japan a couple of month ago and saw a grill exactly like the Livart Grill, so I decided to give this a try. Boy ... this was the grill I've been looking for.
Cooking: There are two height placements on this grill, I chose the lower setting because it sears the meat quicker. I tried fish fillet (cod) that's about 1" thick - cooked beautifully. I tried beef and pork medallion (all around 1" or less) marinated in Korean BBQ sauce - turn out wonderfully, just like what you get at the Korean BBQ restaurant. I even grilled a whole squad for my kids, and they loved it.
One advice I have is to preheat the grill before you start cooking. You know you are cooking when you hear the sizzle of the meat when...
