Borosil Prima 24 L Oven Toaster & Grill, Motorised Rotisserie & Convection Heating, 5 Heating Modes, Black

Borosil 30l otg: I bought this otg after reading and researching number of reviews and articles.
* Its made up of galvanized steel and the handle is chrome plated.
* 30l is sufficient for 3-4 membered family
*It looks elegant and sleek. It doesn’t weigh heavy
* Does the function perfectly for the price. The given light is much useful to view the food items inside the chamber.
* It has stay on option, i.e. you gotta set the timer in anticolck wise direction and so that the oven will not turn off automatically but you have to do it manually.
* After unpacking call 1800224550 borosil customer care and ask for demo. Also ask about warranty details to that person, he’ll explain and fill it up for you.
* Other reviewers has given the detailed info about dimensions and accessories. (No unwanted long repetition of stories ✌)

For the first time users:
*When you open it ,run it at 230c for 30 minutes to eliminate metallic contamination in food.
*While ordering an otg simultaneously place an order of good oven mitts
* Whenever you prepare dishes, preheat the oven every single time. Preheating means heating the oven without any trays except crumb tray.
* If you’re using any moulds place it over the steel grill rack.
* For preheating cupcake moulds or any kinda moulds heat the oven with grill rack after preheating you can place your mould with batter over the grill rack
* Use convection fan whenever you need even heat distribution.
* Use aluminum moulds than preferring to non stick moulds
* You can also use ceramic or glassware which is meant for otg, if you use local glassware or stoneware you’ll end up having crackedware!
* Make sure to use 15A socket.
* Don’t use it for steaming purpose or don’t use any veggies that has too much water content because it’ll end up in evaporation and spoil your entire unit.
* They’ll provide handles to take trays and grill out from the chamber, wear gloves and use those handles whenever you place or taking out the trays from the oven.
* When in operation switch off the power cable every time you open the glass door to insert or remove the tray from the unit.
* Initially follow the recipe book and have good understanding with your otg then you can try out other recipes from other sources.
* While following recipe book reduce 5-10min before hand to prevent food from burning.
* For the given recipe, the recipe book will give you clear idea on which shelf to place your tray inside the chamber. ( You don’t have to worry should I place the tray lower rack, in the upper or in the middle!)
* It’ll be lil nervous when you operate for the first time but once you finished toasting the bread you’ll feel like, is it all about it?!!

Conclusion: Recommend!!!

This is based of a few days of using the OTG regularly – it is perfect in what it delivers against what was promised – five stars for that . Easy to use , perfectly sized , the light inside illuminates the food being cooked clearly and the output is pretty good .

Where I would suggest caution is the engagement with the parent company. Borosil isn’t helpful. Their website for registration was down and the response i got from their representatives (over the phone and via email) was to go back to the website and register (which was ironical given that is what i was informing them doesn’t work). One star for this experience (and the site still isnt working) … So if this was the experience i dread what it would be like if we do need their intervention .

My recommendation would be to buy this product – its worth it .

Excellent OTG! Want to grill chickens, just blindly go for this OTG. No, need to look and compare with others. You will never regret! Check out the photos I have uploaded, just wonderful. You will find many mix reviews on other OTGs like temperature not reached, grilling takes long time. Forget those headache with this OTG, compact and powerful. More over, it has a inside light, which is quite helpful. The OTG also has a convection mode.

I have already grilled Chicken Tandoori (35 minutes), Mutton kebabs (20 minutes), baked cakes. All the grilled items are cooked out with awesome taste & in extact recipe time. Regarding the cake, it was not absolute perfect (it was too much bulging, may temperature was set higher), but the taste was very good. This is my second cake experience, I had made my first cake with American Micronic, which came out good. But that OTG could not grill! Again, BOROSIL is a very reputed brand and is a Indian company.

PROS:

– Excellent OTG to grill (came out perfect every time)
– 230 deg C (max temperature), when set always reached
– Solid build
– Inside lamp (when running)
– Convection mode
– Very good looking
– Manual timer (with continuous ON option)
– Basic but quality accessories
– When running, far less heat outside the OTG compared to other OTG
– Reputed Indian brand with onsite service
– Nice recipe booklet & instruction manual

CONS
– I too faced the issue of OTG switching OFF after 5 mins once at 210 deg C
– Felt, the convection fan should have been little more powerful

I would definitely recommend this OTG, excellent grilling capacity and very competitively priced.

N.B. Please be very careful when handling a running OTG, always use good quality hand gloves & keep children out of reach.

Today a service engineer (from BOROSIL) visited on a service call.
– He informs that the convection fan operates on when 65 deg C is reached.
– I did not face the turning OFF of the OTG after 5 minutes at 210 deg C
– Pre-heating must be always carried out at 230 deg C
– Except the cable damaged due to rat bites, everything of the OTG is under warranty and will be replaced FREE of charge in case of any defect.

I have now made 2 beautiful & tasty black forest cake with this OTG. N.B. For baking cakes, set temperature at least 20 deg C less than what prescribed in recipe manual. Always, place the baking mould on the lowest rack position.

So, friends live in peace with BOROSIL OTG
