The Pebbles Stone Grill, As Hot As It Gets

Traditional Asian meals are recognized for their old origins and for the respect of the chefs for the original recipes and cooking methods. Yet, it was just a matter of time until these elements of ancient cooking tradition were touched by the modern approach – and the Pebbles Stone Grill is one of the best examples for such a transformation. One of the oldest Korean grill methods involved pieces of algamatolite, a special rock created by natural means, altering various minerals’ structure and generating a new one, with particular characteristics and response to heat.

The Pebbles Stone Grill is a very nifty touch to the traditional cooking method and benefits a lot from all the design efforts mankind has made until now, transforming the rock-laden grill into a kitchen gadget that has style written all over it.

 

Designer quartet Yongju Kwak, Dongbin Shin, Kukil Han and Young-Seok Kim worked their best magic and have finally come up with a shape that combined elegance and functionality, while keeping all the essential cooking parameters at their initial values and without diminishing any of the traditional stone grill's functionality. The Pebble is easy to carry around because its special structure is at the same time fairly lightweight and mobile: you can almost roll up the 6 by 6 rows of stones into a more travel-friendly shape, and carry it with you.

 

The Pebbles Stone Grill is perfect for cooking shrimp, shellfish or lobster, but it will also help you get awesome barbecue dishes, beef and especially fish. It's true that some of the Western food will be rather hard to cook on these rounded stones, but we're talking East food here. One of the 36 pebbles is the temperature controller and to get your grill going, all you have to do is press the button on this one-of-a-kind stone and then drag your finger on the special slider to set the temperature. Watch your food cook, enjoy your meal, then clean the Pebbles.

 

Now, this project looks indeed stunning and is a most welcome presence in the world of cooking, yet we cannot help wondering about all the juices that will drip from the food and the reliability of the flexible electric cords linking all the pebbles together. Until further notice, we just have to believe the four designers.
