Shish kebab fan made in China

Barbecue cooking is a whole art that summer residents master over time to perfection. The first May holidays can no longer be imagined without gatherings next to the barbecue, so experienced chefs do not get tired of looking for all the new devices that will help prepare a delicious and juicy shish kebab.

All summer residents and lovers of outdoor recreation are familiar with the ritual of "fanning" the coals - this is done in order to remove the white bloom that prevents uniform roasting of meat. It is unlikely that someone would think of fanning the fire on their own, and the heat will not allow you to approach the brazier. Most often, chefs use twigs, a piece of plywood or special plastic fans, but the most advanced ones have already managed to get acquainted with a portable barbecue fan.

In Russian online stores, the new device is presented in two versions: manual and electric. The cheapest manual fan will cost from 300 to 400 rubles. The body is made of durable plastic and special alloy. The mechanism of action is extremely simple: you just need to turn the knob to create an air flow.

You will need AA batteries to run the electric barbecue fan. The power of manual and electric devices practically does not differ, but the cost of the latter in Russian stores is about twice as much (700-800 rubles).

As you might have guessed, the barbecue fan first appeared on AliExpress. It was the Chinese who offered the novelty to lovers of fried meat, which many bought and are actively using in the country.

Manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom talk about the non-stick and heat-resistant body of the product, which allows you to bring it as close to the coals as possible. The barbecue fan has a very modest size (25 cm in length) and low quality, which is traditional for China. The flimsy grip does not tolerate rough handling, and the batteries inside the model become hot after prolonged use.

The cost of a handheld device on the AliExpress website is 186 rubles, a battery-powered product will cost 250-300 rubles.

According to customer reviews, it is still possible to light a fire or "refresh" extinguished coals with a simple device. However, it is difficult not to notice the responses of disappointed kebab lovers, because for such a modest price, instead of a manual plastic fan, some expect to see a powerful unit. If you nevertheless decide to buy this device, then feel free to place an order on AliExpress.
