Product Description

The Medium Wide Konro Grill

This Medium Wide Konro BBQ is the most popular grill by far! It is the perfect size for any kitchen worktop due to its compact design. It offers more versatility, better flavour and a more enjoyable cooking experience than you would ever imagine. It is the ultimate sous vide finishing tool, and believe us we have tried a lot of sous vide cooked food.

The Konro grills from Japan are the best thing to use when grilling meats, fish or vegetables. Recommended to be used with Binchotan charcoal due to its long burning properties and its ability to seal in natural flavours without imparting any other aromas.

The Konro grills are made with a special insulating material that helps reflect the heat back into the grill, therefore making the temperatures more consistent. A simple design with black metal corners and an air vent to control temperature.

Due to the nature of the material this item is made from, they are not designed to be submerged in water, get wet or be left outside. Doing so will invalidate the warranty.

So Why a Kasai Konro Grill?

It offers more versatility, better flavour and a more enjoyable cooking experience than you would ever imagine!

If you have ever travelled to Japan, you would have seen one of these small style BBQs on just about every street corner. Particularly as you walk around the entertainment quarter of Osaka (Dontonbori near Namba station) you will find a Konro at almost every restaurant with an expert operator twisting Yakitori skewers or some other delicious morsels.

The Konro is probably better known in the west as a Hibachi grill, but in Japan it is called Shichirin or Konro. It’s a bit complicated, but the Shichirin and Konro names probably evolved when these small clay or ceramic fire boxes started getting used for cooking instead of just heating.

Hibachi were originally developed in around the 8th century A.D. and their original purpose was to act as a small room heater. My guess is that they became a poor man’s Kamado or cooking range, like those cheap electric hot plates are today. Over time it was discovered that they were great for cooking Yakitori and other smaller food items and so they were rebranded or renamed Konro or Shichirin.

The Konro grills are the best thing to use when grilling meats, fish or vegetables. Recommended to use with Binchotan charcoal due to its long burning properties and its ability to seal in natural flavours without imparting any other aromas.

The Konro grills are made with a special insulating material that helps reflect heat back into the grill thus making the temperatures more consistent. A simple design with metal corners and an air vent to control temperature.

This is a compact and simple charcoal grill that is made using a natural material that optimises heat retention. Because these grills have superior heat-insulation properties, charcoal used in them burns longer than in conventional cookers.

Nothing tastes quite like charcoal grilled chicken skewers or yakitori. Now you can make delicious yakitori and other grilled dishes on your patio tabletop with this convenient Japanese style charcoal grill. With decent quality lump charcoal or Binchotan a Konro produces a very hot source of heat (750°C). The compact size and shape and the firebrick/ceramic construction makes these grills perfect for cooking skews of meat or sliced vegetables. The food is inches away from the charcoal and the juice that drips down is instantly evaporated into a smoky cloud of deliciousness that infuses with the food on the grill. The hot temperature is also perfect for creating crisp caramelised skins on chicken and other meats. Makes food taste great!
