There are various types of equipment that, according to their technical description, speak of the quality of the output product. Attention is drawn to an overview of popular for this year installations for cooking shawarma from foreign and domestic manufacturers with their pros and cons.

General idea of ​​shawarma machines - selection criteria

Few people know that shawarma meat must first go through the marinating process, then it is fried using a special technology in special installations. The tenderloin is strung on a vertically located knife, which rotates in a circle relative to the heating elements. As soon as the meat is fried, it is cut into thin layers, which fall into a container located at the bottom of the installation.

Note! For cooking, mainly lamb, pork or chicken are used.

The taste of the finished product resembles meat on coals, which is why the devices are often called grills.

What are the installations - classification of shawarma grills

What should I pay attention to when buying equipment? You need to focus on the main components of kitchen appliances. Knowing the features of each link, it is easier to understand how to choose the right device.

Let's start with the most important thing - heating elements. These can be heating elements - tubular electric heaters of various shapes (straight, spiral, concave, etc.) with infrared radiation or gas burners - flameless metal pipes.

Professional units are always equipped with several heating zones, which can be adjusted independently of each other.In modern expensive appliances, several thermal elements can be located in one zone to ensure fast and efficient frying of meat.

Note! All units are equipped with rotary controls, indicator lights and start button.

According to the type of rotary pin, the devices can be manual or automatic (electric). In the first case, on the rails where the vertical spiral (vents) is attached, there are several holes located at a certain distance from each other. By changing the spit from left to right, the level of roasting of meat is regulated. In the second case, the adjustment of the distance from the meat to the heating zones is carried out according to a special mechanism, which, in addition, can take the third position - at a certain angle.

For safe operation, special mirror shields are installed on the equipment, which also increase the temperature when cooking meat. Modern models can cover the heating elements with a special layer, or they can completely block them with heat-resistant glass shields.

There are universal devices that allow you to cook not only meat on a spit, but also on skewers. As a rule, they have manual and automatic rotation. With your own hands, you need to regulate the roasting of the barbecue, but the meat for shawarma will rotate on its own. There can be up to 10 horizontal holes, and vertical holes only for installing one pole.

As for packaging for finished products. There are drainage trays, under the bottom of which there are trays for collecting unnecessary fat. There are solid, sealed pans, most often installed where the motor is located at the bottom of the machine, to prevent grease from getting on it. There are retractable and completely removable containers - it depends on which company the equipment is.It is better to purchase prefabricated structures, it is easier to care for them.

Selection Tips

There are general recommendations that it is advisable to listen to and follow in the future, so as not to make mistakes when choosing.

When purchasing an installation, you need to pay attention to how to install it. There are models that require the intervention of a specialist - a case when it is necessary to make grounding. Most often these are devices with a mains voltage of 380-400 V.

Maintainability. Low cost is no reason to rejoice, even though productivity is high and energy/gas consumption costs are low. As a rule, it is difficult to find spare parts for such models, and custom-made service will cost a penny. It is better to immediately ask the seller if there are parts in stock, whether it will be difficult to find them after a while.

How to properly care for the equipment is written in the instruction manual, as well as answers to other questions that require detail.

Where to buy equipment? According to buyers, such purchases should be made in branded stores of professional kitchen appliances, where a guarantee is given for the goods. If you consider the option of ordering via the Internet, it is advisable to study customer reviews.

For small or start-up entrepreneurs, it is better to purchase compact, inexpensive installations. For large-scale enterprises, equipment must be high-performance and high-quality (no need to spare money).

Note! The price range for professional shawarma equipment varies between 15-100 thousand rubles.
