Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
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.
Take Grillex Outdoors or On the Go
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:
Appetizers
- Bacon wrapped Scallops
- Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Mushrooms
- Soft Pretzel Twists
- Grilled Herbed Broccoli
- Grilled Quesadillas
- Heavenly Chicken Nuggets
- Bratwurst
- Tequila Lime Beef
- Turkish Style Kabobs
- Grilled Teriyaki Skewers
- Ranch Roasted Potatoes
- Hot Dogs/ Polish Sausage--with a twist
- Green Chile and Lime Carne Asada
- Honey Shrimp and Turkey Sausage
- Mango Pork Tenderloin
- Orange Pineapple Chicken
- Peasant Lamb with Herbs
- Goat Cheese Stuffed Pork
- Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
- Blackened Portabellas with Tzatziki
- Crab Stuffed Chile Rellanos
- Garlic and Thyme Potatoes
- International Corn Husk Kubideh
- Grilled Dessert Pineapple
- Bananas Foster sans alcohol
- Honeyed Greek Achladis
- Cherry Cream Pastry
- Chocolate Cream Pastry
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. |
| 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. |

wonderful grilling device,

This review is from: Grillex US-10 Indoor Brazilian Portable Barbecue Grill (Kitchen)
This grilling device is everything the product description says and more! I bought it thinking I can make churrasco, but I've since made chicken tikka, Middle Eastern lamb kabobs and more. Everything so far has come out very tender and moist, and best of all, the cleanup is a breeze--no splatter at all! Anticipating that I'd probably need more than the 5 skewers provided, I ordered an extra set of 4 when placing my original order. Turned out it was a smart move on my part, very proud of myself! This piece of cooking equipment is definitely more than just a curious gadget, I will be using it over and over again, for sure.

This review is from: Grillex US-10 Indoor Brazilian Portable Barbecue Grill (Kitchen)
Got mine yesterday, used it for every meal except breakfast since. Marinate some meat, coat some veggies with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, throw it on the skewers when you're ready, and 20 minutes later you're eating! I was skeptical about feeding eight people, but if you use all the pieces it comes with, you really can cook about 4 lbs of meat, (well spaced cubes of chicken and beef) within the stated times.
I was also afraid to crank my gas all the way up to the "medium" specified as my burner generally runs hot enough to smoke up the house at that level, but if you follow the instructions (water in base), you won't have any problems. I've even gotten brave and cranked it to high a few times (I love that char-grill flavor) and still no smoke, but I've been pretty vigilant about the water, refilling every hour or so at least. Make sure to use the toothpicks included for veggies so they don't slide off the ends, so far I haven't really had a problem with meat slipping, but you never know, so throw 'em on just in case. I break mine in half and sometimes they burn a bit, but still no smoke alarms yet. I thought it was kind of gimmicky when I first saw it, but I can see it becoming a standby for lower fat and still tasty cooking.

This review is from: Grillex US-10 Indoor Brazilian Portable Barbecue Grill (Kitchen)
First night with the Grillex was way better than expected. It's much easier than I thought and the recipe times are spot on.
I made the following: Marinated chicken strips (sliced thin and then overnight marinated in Newman's Sesame Ginger.) Skewered up. 8 minutes over medium plus heat and then rotated. Best, most tender chicken ever. Pork loin. Marinated. (Basque sauce) Sliced and skewered. 10 minutes, rotated then like 8 minutes. Amazing! Salmon in the cage. Lemon pepper and rosemary. Forgot the times but again, prepped perfectly. Pros: Easy to use. SUPER easy to clean. SUPER GOOD FOOD! Cons: I wanted more skewers but it appears I can buy more. This is a great gift if you or someone you know loves Brazilian BBQ but cant afford Fogo de Chao.
