Product Review

The Gold Chef infrared gas grill reaches temperatures of up to 800˚C/1472˚F within 2 minutes and enables you to easily and quickly grill the perfect steakhouse level steaks at home.Through the high temperatures your steak gets a delicious caramelized crust from the outside while its center stays juicy and tender.

Steak in the grill basket, bread in the thermo box, vegetables in the grill tray and sauce in the flavor tray. Prepare foods for 4 in 20 minutes. 

Temperature is critical for the perfect steak. With the Gold Chef thermometer, you could easily grill the Michelin level dishes.

Gold Chef has an original vertical grilling design and the grill basket with folding mechanism. With the vertical design, the dripping juices won’t flare up, creating hazardous fumes (PAHs), neither will them block in the grill, which makes it easier for cleaning. Meanwhile the flavor tray collects the meat juices so that you can use them for seasoning. 

Gold Chef is an effective device with an elegant design that will satisfy the demanding chefs. To further bolster the longevity of the appliance, Gold Chef is made entirely of 304 stainless steel that resists to high temperatures. More importantly, all the parts are dishwasher safe, easy to clean. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of grilling with heat from the side?

Grilling ‘in front of an open fire’ is a very natural feeling. Gold Chef “enables you” to grill completely intuitively as you can watch what you’re doing and adjust things with just a slight twist of your wrist. Grilling with a side-burner is definitely healthier too as the dripping juices are collected for delicate sauces and don't flare up, creating hazardous fumes.

How can I use the 4 different grilling/temperature zones? And what are the benefits?

Grilling on the telescopic wave-rack with the Gold Chef grill-basket is safe and convenient. You can roast your beef in different heat-zones by changing positions as needed by simply turning and twisting the grill-basket. Use the bottom flavor-tray to collect sauces and for gratinated meet, veggies or bread. 
You can also use the Gold Chef -grill-tray on the top level just like a BBQ for roasting vegetables and hamburger buns while the rear zone is ideal for keeping food warm or simply letting your steaks relax.

How long does the Gold Chef need to be ready for use?

The Gold Chef gets fired-up by its built-in piezo ignition and reaches an insane 800°C or 1472 °F in about 2 minutes! On the other hand, due to its outside burner, the Gold Chef is thoroughly cooled down for transport in less than 15 minutes.

So what is the secret of perfect meat preparation?

Most BBQ grills reach temperatures of 400°C or 750°F whereas famous steakhouses grill at ultra-high temperatures of more than 1472°F(800°C) so as to seal the steaks by form of caramelization. This means the surface of the beef is roasted in less than 90 seconds each side without the inside being overcooked. The caramelized top crust retains the moisture to achieve a perfect, juicy and tender steakhouse taste. Plus four grilling zones mean you can perfectly prepare vegetables, bread or fish too, giving you a whole meal in just a few minutes.

How much does Gold Chef weigh?

The entire body weighs only 8 kg/17.5 pounds and is made of high quality stainless steel. This material is durable and light for ultimate portability. You can fire up your Gold Chef wherever you want to: at a picnic party, on a boat or on a caravan trip, to name but a few examples.

Which complementary products do you offer?

We are planning to optimize your grilling experience even further by offering the following complementary products: 
a) The Gold Chef core temp meter. This accessory can be inserted directly through the grill-basket and in to the meat when grilling to ensure the steak is cooked to perfection. 
b) The Gold Chef HEF grill tray. It offers a griddle-zone on top of the burner for roasting buns, potatoes, corn-on-the-cob and other vegetables 
c) The insulated thermo box with its built-in thermometer fits neatly in the Gold Chef resting-zone. It warms up to 120°C (250°F) with indirect heat – the ideal temperature to allow your steak to relax. It’s stylish design will also look great on your table.

How long can I use the gas cartridge for?
