Evo History

A WORD FROM BOB SHINGLER

Inventor and Founder of Evo America, LLC

“Gathering with family and friends to cook a meal is the foundation of many memorable experiences and the basis for much of my creative thought. So it was one day as I’m fly fishing along the Metolius River in Central Oregon and later cooking breakfast in a cast iron skillet that I envisioned an appliance similar to a cast iron pan but with a larger cooking surface and more controllable heat. It is this vision that launched production of the first Evo in 2001.”

DESIGNED AND BUILT IN THE USA

More Specifically, Oregon!

At Evo, bringing people together around food is our passion. It’s also what inspired us to design and build the most versatile grill that lets people share the joy of cooking. With its circular flattop cooking surface, Evo lets you prepare virtually any cuisine from any angle. By cooking foods directly on the cook surface, you can sear, sauté, grill, toast and stir-fry. Indirectly, you can use pots or pans to boil, braise, poach or steam.
