Exactly four years since the coronavirus completely altered our lives, yet the innovation in areas we didn't know our lives permitted comes from the revolution of the home grill to its next natural stage. More accessible, available, cost-effective - and no less scorching.
What began as a grand gadget aimed at lavish terraces and opulent home entries, now positions itself almost as a Passover gift, and beyond. The reasons are varied but mostly organic - supply and demand, responsiveness, and marketing. And of course, China.
Peerless's portable grill, marketed globally, is the epitome of this entire process - marking a V for victory on every checklist in its category.
It's not monstrous in size (69.2 cm length, 34.4 cm height, 55.5 cm width with open legs, about 27 cm when folded, and weighing about 20 kg), but serious enough to work hard. It doesn't require a home infrastructure overhaul (but does need a gas connection, be it home or portable cylinder). A 5 kg gas cylinder will cost you about NIS 500 online, with regulator, gas gauge, and a two-meter hose. It's flexible, folds neatly, cleans easily, presents an elegant exterior, ships for free, comes with customer service and professional assistance, and revolves the hot stone within it for a very reasonable price tag of NIS 1,299.
Hot, warming, scorching, in short.
The initial operation is easier than expected, and any concerns during work are overshadowed by logistical clutter and tedious bureaucracy.
The grill is intended for outdoor use (i.e., terrace or yard) and connects to the home gas network or, as mentioned, a gas cylinder. It's recommended to use a certified technician to avoid danger, but the connection is as simple as it gets, requiring only adherence to a few basic rules.
A quick adjustment of the folding legs, positioning the round stone on its axis, turning the manual handle, and you're set. From there, the power switch (and traditional lighter use) leads to blue-orange flames, increasing the heat and hunger.
Now, can we eat something?
The size of the grill's opening is your only limitation, essentially determining beforehand what goes in and what waits outside. With time and a few tasty sessions, skills develop, familiarity deepens, until the workflow becomes smoother, and the business professionalizes.
The internal space officially reaches 500 degrees (and the power knob can adjust it here or there), and the way it's built - a kind of deep, shallow cave - allows quick adaptation to these declarations. You just need to equip yourselves in terms of aids (work gloves, and also a suitable apron or tarp, though in any case, you can rotate the stone so that the food "approaches" you) and portions.
Doughs naturally interact well with the grill, enjoying its heat and providing a beautiful result - with pizzas that are oily and colorful in no time. Fish and steaks are a step up, and they too excel in this method. Likewise, vegetables for anti-pasta, cauliflower cut into "steaks" relatively flat, and any dessert that combines fruits with a little sugar will also provide an excellent dish. This is just the beginning, of course, and the business is eager for experiments, but the format is clear.
First and foremost, for yourselves With this price tag, free shipping, guaranteed warranty year, and efficient operation, it's hard not to recommend the grill as a well-invested gift, first and foremost for yourselves.
The well-known relationship between humans, their fire, and the food it extracts is based enough to do everything else and neutralize additional barriers here. There's tremendous heat, there are flames, there's a refrigerator - you'll manage with ideas and cooking. And if not, I'm available for orders.
