Vapour Grills (Vapo Grills)

Vapour grills (Vapo Grills) are professional cooking appliances designed for grilling meat, fish, vegetables, and other products with gentle steam humidification. They are widely used in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and professional kitchens where it is important to achieve excellent grilling results while minimizing product weight loss during cooking.

Many models can be integrated into professional modular cooking suites, including 700-series cooking lines.

Applications and Benefits

Unlike traditional grills, vapour grills use a water reservoir located beneath the heating elements. Approximately 80% of the heat is transferred directly to the grill grate, while the remaining 20% heats the water. The water does not boil but gently evaporates, creating a humid cooking environment.

This technology offers several advantages:

• Reduced moisture loss during cooking;
• Juicier and more tender finished products;
• Improved grilling results for meat, fish, and vegetables;
• Lower product shrinkage and weight loss;
• Reduced risk of fat ignition;
• Consistent cooking quality.

The combination of radiant heat and gentle humidity helps preserve the natural texture and flavor of food.

• Heavy-duty stainless steel grill grates made from 10 mm rods;
