Schwank Grills Infrared Grill

Standard grills heat from below, which often causes flare-ups when fat drips onto the burners. The Schwank uses overhead infrared technology, so juices drip away from the heat source and into a dedicated tray, preventing flare-ups and creating a cleaner, more intense sear.

While it is engineered for steakhouse-quality searing, the high heat is also excellent for caramelizing vegetables, melting cheese on gratins, or finishing seafood. Because of the intense temperature, it is best suited for quick-cooking items rather than low-and-slow barbecue.

The lift system allows you to adjust the distance between your food and the 1500°F burner. This gives you precise control over the searing process, letting you move the food closer for a rapid crust or further away to gently finish the interior without burning the surface.

The 304-grade stainless steel construction is durable and easy to wipe down. Since the burner is overhead, it stays protected from grease, and the integrated drip tray is removable, making cleanup straightforward after you finish cooking.

The Schwank is designed to run on standard propane tanks. Because it is a portable unit, it is compatible with the typical propane cylinders you would use for a standard outdoor grill.

At 1500°F, you achieve the Maillard reaction—the chemical process that creates a deep, flavorful crust—almost instantly. This high heat sears the exterior so quickly that the inside of the steak remains juicy and avoids the 'grey band' of overcooked meat often found with slower cooking methods.
