More than a grill
Revolutionizing home cooking with innovation, health, and design
Where it all began
‘In the 1950’s prosperity enabled Australians to eat meat with every meal. With this, heart disease grew significantly, as ingestion of meat sourced saturated fat became endemic. Cardiovascular disease became the leading cause of death.
Today, coronary heart disease is the second leading cause of death for males overall. This is followed by Stroke which is also closely linked to cardiovascular health.
When Robert was just 19 years old he tragically lost his father to a cardiac event attributed to high cholesterol. Doctors indicated that vertical grilling could have played a natural role in preventing his father’s heart attack. In recent times cholesterol reducing medication has become available and according to medical advice, can work together with vertical grilling.
In any event a diet containing less saturated fat has been shown to have numerous health benefits including potential weight reduction for those who eat meat regularly. These are benefits Robert wanted to share by bringing a smokeless vertical grill to market for the first time.
The original vertical grills were disappearing from the market due to their propensity to smoke and flare-up. Despite their antiquated internal drip tray, they still cooked brilliantly and removed much of the dangerous cholesterol laden fats. Robert decided however, it was time to reintroduce the natural health benefits of the vertical grill without the downside common to the original versions reliant upon an antiquated’ internal drip tray. This would require a new generation of vertical grill.
The VGRILL enables modern families to enjoy healthy food cooked quickly in keeping with our fast paced modern lifestyle.
Reinventing the Vertical Grill
Bonnie Lee Buzick, innovator and inventor conceived an external drip tray configuration facilitating airflow to eliminate the traditional unsafe internal drip tray storage.
The traditional design which relied upon an internal drip tray positioned beneath the heating elements could ignite combustible fats leading to flare-up and smoke.
Making a safer design a reality required redesigning the internal workings of the vertical grill and creating an airflow module comprising calibrated channels. This patented system would also use gravity to separate unhealthy fats and spoils from the cooking meat and the body of the vertical grill.
