Inspired by traditional Brazilian barbecues, this portable barbecue grill makes it easy to bring the authentic taste of outdoor cooking indoors. To use, place the unit over a gas-stove burner or a portable camping stove; the gas flame enters through a circular opening in the base of the unit, then moves through a diffuser to evenly heat the food inside. One pair of double skewers, five standard skewers, and a chrome-plated grill basket come included. Simply load food into the basket or onto the skewers and hang vertically inside the grill for cooking with the option to rotate with a quick turn of the stay-cool handle. The grill can be used to cook up anything from steak, chicken, and fish to carrots, onions, peppers, and more. Best of all, it serves up to eight people at a time, cooking almost 4-1/2 pounds of meat in less than 20 minutes. When used outside, a piece of charcoal can be placed in the heat diffuser to create the smoky flavor of an authentic outdoor barbecue (do not use charcoal for indoor cooking). Other highlights include a catch basin at the bottom to catch all meat drippings, an aluminum upper body and lid with an electrostatic painted finish, stainless-steel heat diffuser and skewers, and Bakelite handles that stay cool to the touch for comfortable handling and safe transport. When finished, the unit disassembles for quick cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher. A fun addition to any party or gathering with family and friends, the portable barbecue grill measures approximately 14 by 18 by 16 inches.

From the Manufacturer

The Brazilian barbecue phenomenon has exploded, but so far it's been limited to a restaurant experience. Grillex brings that same delicious taste into everyone's kitchen. Whether entertaining a group of friends or just spending some quality time with the family, the versatility of Grillex offers plenty of options for every household. It's simple, fast, and flavorful every time, making it the perfect product for any kitchen. Appetizers, dinner, and dessert--the possibilities with the Grillex are truly endless.

Grillex comes with five cooking skewers, a double skewer, and a basket that, after being prepared with meats, vegetables, and fruits, are suspended upright around virtually any heat source, such as stovetop burners, outdoor grills and camping stoves. A center diffuser provides even heat displacement to create the ideal environment for cooking various foods.

The Versatility of Grillex (It's Not Just for Brazilian BBQ)

While the origin of the Grillex is Brazilian, the versatility of the Grillex is unmatched. In addition to the traditional Brazilian fare, Grillex can also be used to cook a wide range of foods: appetizers, simple or gourmet meals, desserts, and more. Below is a partial listing of the recipes developed for the Grillex that go beyond the typical meats, vegetables and cheeses of a Brazilan BBQ:

    Another benefit of the Grillex is that more than one type of food can be prepared and cooked all at the same time without taking a chance on the mixing of flavors--try that in a rotisserie! A perfect example of this is cooking two skewers of Soft Pretzel Twists while also grilling four skewers of Turkish Style Kabobs and rounding this out with two more skewers of bananas for Bananas Foster. Only in the Grillex can you cook all these at once without the mixing of the flavors. Not only does this make for great tasting meals, it's also efficient.
    No Smoke and Easy to Clean
    Other makers of indoor grills have tried to make one that doesn't smoke, but only Grillex is truly smoke free. The patented design of the Grillex keeps the juices from dripping on the heat source, eliminating the smoke. The best part about the Grillex is that you are actually cooking over a real flame, just as you would on an outside barbecue. The Grillex sits right on top of your existing gas range top.
    Ask anyone what their least favorite part about cooking is and they'll tell you it�s the clean up. With the Grillex, clean up is simple. When cooking with the Grillex, we recommend placing 1 cup of water in the base. This provides extra moisture to the food while cooking and makes for a simple clean-up. The water only comes in contact with the juices that drip from the food while cooking.
    Combined with the non-stick coating on the base of the grill, clean up is a breeze. Simply poor out the water and rinse and the skewers and baskets can be placed in a dishwasher.
    Take Grillex Outdoors or On the Go
    Grillex doesn't need to be kept in the kitchen; the Grillex can be taken anywhere. Another patented feature of the Grillex is the flavor bowl that is housed in the heat diffuser. When grilling outside, this feature allows for a piece of charcoal to be added just above the flame and below the food to give the extra-added flavor of cooking over a real wood or charcoal fire. Just as one would never bring a charcoal grill into the house, never place charcoal in the Grillex while cooking indoors as adequate ventilation does not exist in the home. The space saving design makes it simple to store the Grillex among pots and pans in a typical cupboard when not in use. When designing the Grillex, a great amount of thought was put into how the unit would be stored when not in use. The engineers wanted to give the most amount of space inside the Grillex to allow for cooking larger portions however, this also created the need for more space to store the grill. In the end, the engineers settled on a brilliant design for the upper body of the grill to turn upside down and nest inside the lower body for storage. The end result is the Grillex only needs a mere 5-1/2 inches of clearance on the shelf.
    Great Materials, Built to Last
    The majority of the Grillex is made of aluminum. Aluminum is lightweight so there is no need to worry about moving a heavy grill around the kitchen. The total weight of the grill alone is less than 4-1/2 pounds. Aluminum was also used because of its ability to evenly distribute the heat throughout the grill, which is also one of the Grillex patented technologies. The skewers are made of restaurant grade stainless steel. The handles on the skewers, basket, grill body, and lid are made of Bakelite, which provides years of use without degradation due to harsh conditions such as the heat from the grill or ongoing cleaning in a dishwasher. In addition, the handles were designed with ridges to help dissipate the heat when in use. In most cases, a hot pad is not necessary when using the handles.
