The lava grill is not the most popular representative of technological professional equipment, and in vain.
Yes, its scope is quite limited (compared to the same combi oven), but the end result can please any skeptic. The heat generated by this grill is enough to serve a medium-sized banquet.
Working principle
A lava stone grill can provide you with excellent "smoky" dishes that you can cook in a regular kitchen without allocating a special outdoor grill room.
The principle of operation is as follows: the lava grill is based on an ordinary heating element, covered with a high side on three sides. Above the heating element is a grate for cooking. Everything is normal, right? But the most interesting is placed above the heating element, but under the grate - these are lava stones! That is, the heating element built into the lava grill heats the stones, which, in turn, bring the food located on the grill to readiness.
SpecialThe beauty of the whole design is that during the cooking process, the dishes emit juice that drips onto the lava, burns and returns to the food back, only as fragrant smoke. Stones can be washed. The only "but" that you need to pay attention to before buying a grill is that it smokes a lot! Therefore, for comfortable work, it is necessary to take care of proper ventilation.

Equipment from France. Lava Roller Grill
For thosecases when the operation of gas equipment is impossible for a number of reasons, there is equipment from the French brand Roller Grill. The RG 140 model operates on 220V, has dimensions of 300550165mm and has an excellent feature - a variable arrangement of heating elements (about ten positions). This allows you to make finer adjustments to the equipment before work - for example, for fish and dense vegetables, the locations should be different. This lava electric grill, in addition to its miniature size, also pleases with energy consumption - no more than 2.5 kW, which is very modest for thermal equipment. The average price is 18,000 rubles. But you need to understand that the prices for foreign equipment are now directly dependent on the exchange rate (which means they can fluctuate significantly).
