What Is a Charbroiler and Why Does Your Kitchen Need One?
Charbroilers, sometimes referred to as chargrills, use direct heat from burners positioned beneath grates to cook food. The hallmark of a charbroiler is the ability to give dishes those classic grill lines and a flame-kissed flavor that simply can’t be replicated in ovens or frying pans.
There are two primary types:
-
Radiant Charbroilers: Heat is distributed through metal radiants over the burners.
-
Lava Rock Charbroilers: Use ceramic briquettes or lava rocks to retain and distribute heat.
Charbroilers are ideal for:
-
Grilling steaks, chicken, burgers, and fish
-
Charring vegetables
-
Flash-searing skewers and kebabs
