Practically Flat Portable Cookers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The ‘Fold Flat Grill' Makes Barbecues Seem Easier

— April 12, 2012 — Lifestyle
No need to worry about taking apart the home barbecue and packing it up safely to take to the beach with the ‘Fold Flat Grill’ from Hammacher Schlemmer. This grill is just like the fold out chairs you’ll be packing as it condenses to a mere 1-inch thick. This makes the cooker the most portable cooking grill out there.

It can slide safely in between whatever else is packed in the trunk for a day out in the sun or can be stowed away easily in the home until the next backyard barbecue. It hasn’t sacrificed cooking space on its stainless steel body either, so large family get-togethers can be maintained with ease. Hammacher Schlemmer has put out a product that will challenge grills everywhere to lose some weight.
