As summer approaches, retailers can expect to see more of Fisher & Paykel's beefy-looking DCS Grill. The brand claims they do more than a regular BBQ, and to prove the point, F&P recently invited a group of Victorian retailers to the Wine Bar at The Graham Hotel in Port Melbourne to see the DCS Grill in action.
With high-temperature cooking and a professional-grade rotisserie, the DCS Grill offers consumers the opportunity to cook like a professional at home — that’s according to chef Glen Flood who was on hand at the event to cook food for guests and to spruik the benefits of the Grill.
“In a commercial kitchen space, there is the larder, prep area and then there is the grill,” said Flood. “The grill is top dog; it is where all the flavours come to life, ignited by the passion of heat and flame at just the right temperature to evoke the senses.
“With the commercial pedigree of Fisher & Paykel’s DCS Grill you can easily create all of these experiences in your own home, as the combination of industrial grade stainless steel burners and ceramic radiant technology provide the flexibility of firepower to reach temperatures of up to 400° Celsius (most BBQs only reach 200° Celsius).
“Full surface searing, rather than a single zone, together with a professional rotisserie that can hold up to 25 kilograms in weight and dedicated infrared back burner, means you can easily cater for up to 120 people. Plus no longer do you need to worry about flame outs or flare ups as the patented grease management system reduces these, channelling grease away.”
