Cinder Grill: Cook to Restaurant Perfection Cook PERFECT steak and salmon. No guesswork.

What foods can I cook with Cinder?

Anything you could put in a frying pan, grill, griddle, or shallow stovetop pan, you can put in Cinder: proteins from duck breast to seared scallops, and vegetables from caramelized apples to silky-smooth caramelized onions.

Here are some of our favorite things to Cinder:

Is it suitable for indoor use? Is there any smoke?

Cinder is designed as an indoor kitchen countertop grill. It takes up minimal space:It measures 13″ x 17″ x 7″ (Width x Depth x Height) when closed, and reaches a vertical height of 18 when open.

Cinder doesn't smoke when cooking your food. That's the benefit of precision temperature control: No parts of your food's exterior accidentally burn.

And, when optionally searing your food with Cinder, there's only a four-second release of very light smoke once you open Cinder's lid post-sear. It's something like 1/10th the smoke you'd get from stovetop frying.

When you cook with precision temperature in a sealed chamber, smoke isn't a factor. Like we said, Cinder removes the hassle from high-end cooking!

What is sous vide? How is Cinder different?

Sous vide is a modern cooking technique chefs use to accurately cook foods: Food is placed in a plastic bag and cooked in a water bath held at a precise temperature.

Cinder brings this same principle to the approachable and familiar countertop grill form factor.

Cinder doesn't require you to vacuum seal your food or wait 40 minutes for yourwater bath to reach temperature. Plus, whereas sous-vide can only get as hot as boiling water (212 °F), Cinder quickly reaches 450 °F to cook and sear your meat and vegetables.

How is Cinder different than a George Foreman or induction plates?

Control and precision. A typical countertop grill is just an unevenly heated surface — you still need to monitor the process and guess when the food may be done. Even in the best case your food will be unevenly cooked due to temperature variations across the cooking surface.

The Cinder Precision Grill uses a patent-pending thermal sensing technology (originally developed for the aerospace industry) to heat its grill plates evenly and constantly to within 1 degree (°F) of precision across the entire surface.

What cooking techniques can the Cinder accomplish?

Because Cinder has bothtop and bottom grill plates, you can use it either by closing the lid like a countertop grill or panini press, or you can use it open like a pan or griddle.

This means you can grill, broil, pan-fry, sauté, roast, sear, warm, and defrost. (Cinder is not ideal for baking, boiling or simmering liquid, or steaming.)

Do I need to use the app when cooking with Cinder?

No, the Cinder Grill can be used without the app — just set the temperature manually by turning the dial and waiting until Cinder beeps to let you know your food is ready.

However, the Cinder app provides a better set-it-and-forget process: Select the food you're cooking from a list, choose your desired doneness (e.g. rare, medium, well done), and Cinder will not only estimate how long cooking will take (P.S. Cinder is faster than sous-vide), but it'll notify you when your food has reached temperature.

That's all there is to it. We've kept the app dead simple. It gets out of your way.

The Cinder App is currently available for iPad and iPhone, and the Android app will be developed once we hit our Indiegogo fundraising goal.

How does the Cinder app know when the food is ready?

Cinder measures the thickness of your food based on the top grill's displacement when closed. Then the app takes your food type and target doneness into consideration when monitoring the internal chamber temperature.

The notification that your food has reached temperature is based on real-time data. Cinder runs a patent-pending algorithm to determine when this occurs.

Can I leave Cinder unattended?

Yes! The Cinder Precision Grill will cook your food unattended, letting you focus on side dishes (or chatty guests). You can even run out to the gym and have your post-workout meal ready for you when get home.

Cinder keeps your food at the target temperature for up to two hours with no loss in taste or texture.

Can I cook multiple foods at once?

If every item requires the same final temperature, absolutely.

Because Cinder holds food at the target temperature indefinitely, even foods that take varying times to cook can be cooked simultaneously — nothing will overcook or dry out while you wait for the rest to finish.

If the foods require different final temperatures, it's best to cook them in succession.

Do I need to use oil?

No, our grill plates are nonstick ceramic, so no oil is needed. (Save yourself the calories!) However, some oil is recommended to enhance the flavor, but that's up to you.

Do I need to stir my food?

Nope, no stirring required. Because Cinder's plates heat evenly and precisely, most foods you would cook on the Cinder don't require stirring. Just put the food in Cinder, set the temperature, and let it do its job.

Can I cook from frozen?

Yes, you can place frozen food directly on your Cinder. Cinder defrosts your food at a low temperature until it reaches 32°F, then it begins cooking like normal.

How do I clean the Cinder?

Thanks to the non-stick plates, all you do is wipe down the grills with a damp paper towel and occasionally washthe drip tray whenever it fills up. (Cinder keeps all the moisture inside your food, so there's almost never anything to empty.)

Is Cinder safe to use?

Yes, our grill plates adhere to FCC and UL requirementsand are teflon-free. Because Cinder can hold precise temperatures, it's able to cook foods that might be unsafe with less accurate techniques.

What is your return policy?

We have a 100 day no-questions-asked return policy. After that, refunds are not accepted. (Refer to Indiegogo's returns policy.)

How big is the Cinder?

Cinder measures 13″ x 17″ x 7″ (Width x Depth x Height) when closed, and reaches a maximum vertical height of 18.
