MBM Domina Pro 700 Charcoal Gas Grill with Smooth Surface

A charcoal gas grill combines the intense heat and smoky flavour of charcoal with the precision and control of gas. Instead of burning charcoal directly, gas burners heat ceramic briquettes or lava rocks, which then radiate heat evenly across the cooking surface.

The MBM Domina Pro 700 operates by igniting gas burners beneath a bed of heat-retaining elements. The heat rises to the smooth cast iron cooking grid, where food is placed directly. An extractable stainless steel drawer beneath the grid collects grease and juices, preventing flare-ups and simplifying cleaning. The grill's modular design includes independent heating zones, so one section can be set to a high temperature for searing while another remains cooler for slower cooking or keeping food warm.

To use the grill, the operator first ignites the gas burners and allows the heat-retaining elements to warm. The cast iron grid, which is reversible for meat or fish, is placed on top. Food is arranged on the grid, and the burners are adjusted to maintain the desired temperature. During cooking, grease drips into the removable drawer, which can be emptied and cleaned between services. Once cooking is complete, the grid and drawer are removed for thorough cleaning, while the heat-retaining elements cool down.

The Domina Pro 700 is constructed with a cast iron cooking grid, chosen for its ability to retain and distribute heat evenly. The grease drawer is made of stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and easy to clean. The grill's exterior dimensions of 400 mm deep, 730 mm wide, and 250 mm high allow it to fit on most worktops, while its 36 kg weight ensures stability during use. The 7.5 kW gas power provides sufficient heat output for professional cooking demands, though it requires a dedicated gas supply line.

Controls are straightforward: each burner is adjusted with a knob, allowing precise temperature management across the grill's surface. The independent heating zones enable different cooking techniques to be used simultaneously, such as searing steaks on one side while gently cooking fish on the other.

The 7.5 kW gas power rating indicates the grill's capacity to generate high heat quickly, suitable for busy kitchen environments. The compact footprint of 400x730 mm makes it adaptable to smaller workspaces, while the 36 kg weight means it can be moved with assistance but is stable once in place. The cast iron grid's double-sided design offers versatility, with one side optimised for meat and the other for fish, reducing the need for multiple cooking surfaces.

Cleaning involves removing the grease drawer and emptying it regularly to prevent build-up. The cast iron grid should be scrubbed after each use to maintain its non-stick properties and prevent rust, while the stainless steel drawer can be washed with standard kitchen detergents. The heat-retaining elements beneath the grid should be checked periodically for grease accumulation and cleaned as needed.

The Domina Pro 700 is categorised as a smooth grill surface, designed for direct cooking of meats, fish, and vegetables. It is part of MBM's professional catering range, intended for use in restaurants, hotels, and catering kitchens where consistent, high-heat cooking is required.
