Evo’s unique features offer many benefits to your varied way of life. Decide what’s important to you and explore how Evo enhances your particular lifestyle.
Certain cooking styles (more than others) reveal the wonderful flavor potential of a particular food. Grilling is just one of many cooking techniques possible. Evo has the ability to sear, sauté, braise, boil, roast, steam, stir fry, bake, poach, toast, fry and grill. So calling an Evo Flattop just a “grill” would be a major understatement. You can cook all facets of a meal on an Evo and get the distinct flavors you truly desire – indoors and outdoors.
With an Evo flattop, you are able to sear an entire piece of meat or fish on the solid cook top. Chefs know that searing caramelizes the carbohydrates, turning them into tasty, natural sugars. The contrast in taste between the crust and interior makes the food more interesting to the palate. The beautiful marbleized look across the entire surface, now preferred over old fashioned grill lines, entices the taste buds.
Evo’s solid cook top keeps the flame away from the food and prevents the negative effects of charring – burning is not the same as searing and carmelization! Leaping flames and pulsating heat cause proteins to repetitively contract and relax, expelling natural, flavorful juices and nutrients. Cooking with Evo creates moist, tender meats and poultry.
The slightly convex shape to Evo’s cook top allows liquids to flow towards the drip tray, so you can maintain the distinct tastes of items being cooked simultaneously. Grated grills allow drippings to smolder and smoke everything above with a universal charred taste. Evo cooking also provides wonderful aromas that enhance the taste experience.
The innovative design makes cleaning easy so you can be more thorough. You always start fresh on an Evo.
Steaming is a preferred cooking method for health conscious individuals because no cooking oil is needed, thus resulting in a lower fat content. Steaming also results in a more nutritious food because fewer nutrients are destroyed or leached away. Steaming vegetables on the Evo Flattop is very easy – add a little water and cover with a lid.
Medical science has proven that a diet that includes regular consumption of fresh produce is believed to help your body stave off a long list of serious physical ailments, including stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Evo is a superb platform for cooking vegetables – especially outdoors, where grated grills have accommodated mainly meats.
People are discovering the Evo plancha as a vehicle to expand beyond the beloved but constrained outdoor barbeque. Evo’s cooking versatility allows the theme to drive the food. Here are just a few ideas of what we’re talking about that can all be prepared on an Evo circular plancha:
Leaping fire flare-ups from open flame grills scare even the most seasoned backyard cooks! With Evo you can avoid singeing your hair…or worse.
Large gatherings are not an issue. Evo's Professional model has over 700 square inches of cook surface. Case in point: a chef for Outback Steakhouse catered an evening meal outdoors for 450 people where he cooked 65 filet mignons at a time on his Evo. So bring on the family reunion or block party! Or just be happy everyone gets to eat their pancakes at the same time as a family.
You can cook using direct (grill, sear, sauté, toast, stir-fry) and indirect (boil, braise, poach, steam and fry) methods on an Evo grill. You can even smoke (e.g. salmon on cedar plank). Cooking outdoors doesn't have to be one-dimensional (i.e. just heating the meat).
The Evo flattop allows you to combine and enhance tastes you desire, in combinations not possible on a grated appliance. Grill onions along with the hamburger. Sear peppercorn with your steak. Sauté a hazel aioli sauce while cooking your crab cakes. Marinades and spices also stay with the food being cooked. The culinary possibilities are endless.
Evo's stylish lines and modern look make it a welcome feature standing on your deck or patio, or nestled in your kitchen island. Recognized by leading designers and architects, and proudly positioned front-of-house by 5-Star resorts, Evo will draw out favorable comments from your guests.

Evo is very family friendly. You feel comfortable having kids around because there are no open flames and the hot areas are more confined. You also have less worries because flipping meats won’t cause a leaping fire flare-up that can burn them.
Evo allows the cook to be in the same party as the guests, without the billowing smoke and flare ups that usually keep people at a yard's length. You are no longer relegated to the far corners of the patio or deck, a demoted servant to your family and friends. The cook and Evo can be center stage!
Evo's top of the line gas valve and our electronically controlled electrical element allows for a tremendous variation in cooking temperature. Fast heat when you want it; regulated low heat when the food requires it. You control what's ready to eat when!

There are over 14 million charcoal and gas grills sold every year in the U.S. alone - mainly replacement grills. That's a lot of Chinese steel ending up in American landfills. At Evo, we feel you should be able to pass your grill on to your children as you would your other fine cookware – so we make our products to last.
Traditionally when you think of “grilling” you think of American fare – hamburgers, hotdogs, steak. Evo opens a chef’s vista to all kinds of wonderful cuisines with its cooking versatility. Just some examples of international dishes you can prepare easily on an Evo cooktop:
Evo’s design makes it easy to clean, and you can be thorough as well because you can get to all the places food touches. An open flame grill or char broiler has grease, food parts, sauces, etc. that have collected on the basin, burners and briquettes. Besides a source of mold, that debris continues to burn meal after meal and taints the taste. You always start fresh on an Evo.
Everyone enjoys backyard living especially when the weather is good and the scenery is beautiful. So wanting to cook outdoors is a logical move.

You can start at breakfast, and finish with a party at night!
