The best one is electric

It is excellent to use a quality electric grill for grilling. You don't need any extra fuel for it, just plug it into the electricity at the place where you grill. There is no smoke and, if necessary, even in the event of a sudden change in weather, you can move it to the interior or summer kitchen, where the barbecue party can continue. You can continuously regulate the temperature of the grilling surface with thermostats and set the temperature that is optimal for the preparation of any raw food - from fine fish meat to baked steak. You will avoid charred pieces that do not do our health well. Whether you opt for a classic grill or a "knocker", with the electric grill you will enjoy the grill even more.

With a small sharp knife, cut the fish 4 times at an angle on each side, rub with oil and salt thoroughly on each side. Place on the grill and grill at medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until the fish is overcooked and the meat separates from the bone. Turn the fish halfway through the grill. Serve them whole, with a few rounds of flavored butter, pieces of lemon and your favorite vegetables. Use the remaining butter for consumption with any vegetables, fish or meat - it lasts up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, put butter, mango, chili and coriander in a cast iron casserole on the stove. Stir well until the butter is melted and everything is combined. Remove the cobs of corn from the water, spread with mango butter and then pull the leaves through them again. Place on the grill, close the lid and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn at half time. Fold the leaves down and smear the ears with butter again. Leave the leaves together, return the ears to the grill and let the leaves hang over the edge of the grill so that they do not get caught. Grill for frequent turns for another 2 minutes, then salt, season and drizzle with lime juice.
