Kinka Okunoto Konro Grill - Medium 54cm

From the renowned manufacturer Kinka, the 54cm Okunoto Konro is the authentic, artisanal diatomite grill—often known as a hibachi grill in Australia—used by top chefs and featured on local cooking shows.

Sized for larger groups of 5-10 people, it is hand-cut from solid blocks of diatomite from Japan's Okunoto peninsula and is prized for its unparalleled heat insulation. This superior performance allows charcoal to burn longer while cooking food with exceptional moisture and developing deep, savoury flavour.

Key Features

  • Superior Diatomite Construction: Hand-cut from authentic Okunoto diatomite for unparalleled heat retention and cooking efficiency.
  • Professional Performance: The choice of restaurants for its consistent high heat and ability to enhance the flavour of grilled foods. Recommended charcoal use is approx. 2kg per session.
  • Radiant Heat Cooking: Reaches temperatures up to 1200°C to cook food with infrared heat, sealing in juices for a perfect finish.
  • Included Grill Meshes: Comes with two reusable 27cm grill meshes. An optional wooden base is also available for purchase.
