The secret is in the heat

Infrared, from above.

The Schwank Grill cooks with infrared heat directed down onto the steak from above. While conventional flame grills typically cook around 500°F, Schwank's ceramic burner tiles reach 1500°F, searing a steak in as little as 90 seconds per side.

It's the same technology as the broilers at some of the world's best steakhouses. The steakhouse sear, engineered for home.

THE RESULTS

taste the difference.

Overhead infrared changes how a steak cooks, and you can see it in every slice.

  • Deeper crust Deeper crust

    Browning starts once the surface passes 285°F and works best between 300 and 380°F. Overhead infrared gets the surface there in seconds, so more flavor builds in less time.

    CRUST IN ABOUT 90 SECONDS PER SIDE
  • Person wearing black gloves holding a sliced piece of cooked steak on a dark surface No grey band

    The grey band is a timing problem: the longer a steak sits over heat, the further it overcooks inward. A faster crust means pink from edge to edge.

    LESS TIME OVER HEAT, LESS GREY BAND
  • Juicier finish Juicier finish

    Fat and juices drip away from the flame into a tray below instead of burning off. Pour them back over the steak for a steakhouse finish.

    DRIPPINGS SAVED, NOT BURNED

ENGINEERING HEAT SINCE 1933

Three generations of infrared.

In 1939, Günther Schwank invented and patented the world’s first gas infrared radiator. In 1956, his son Bernd drew the first overhead infrared grill. By the 1970s, Schwank tiles were inside steakhouse broilers across America. Today, Oliver Schwank leads the family company, and that same heat is on your patio.

Since 1933 · More than 2 million heaters built · Named a World Market Leader by Wirtschaftswoche, 2024.
