The Everdure 4k Charcoal Grill and Smoker: A Revolutionary Cooking Experience
Today, I'm excited to share with you my experience with the Everdure 4k Charcoal Grill and Smoker. This innovative cooker has been designed in partnership with 3 Michelin-starred Chef Hestan Blumenthal, and it's packed with technology that promises precision cooking like never before.
One of the standout features of the Everdure 4k is its touch glass display on the lid of the grill. Not only does this display show a precise temperature read, but it also puts charcoal ignition at your fingertips. Simply hold down the Ignition button for three seconds, and the heating element beneath the charcoal will ignite your coals in a matter of minutes. This makes the 4k an incredibly convenient grill to use any night of the week.
The touch glass display is not only visually appealing but also functional. It allows you to easily view the internal temperature of what you're cooking, and it's accompanied by four temp probes that can be clipped to grid level when needed. The digital display is Bluetooth connected, allowing you to keep a close eye on your grill temperature and cooking progress with the Everdure's app.
Speaking of which, I was able to label each probe in the app and set target internal temperatures, which gave me peace of mind as I watched my smoke of a tri tip and two hens come together. The app interface is loaded with recipe guides that provide tips along the way, making it easy for even novice cooks to achieve great results.
For nighttime entertaining, the 4k Grill has a built-in interior light that illuminates what you're cooking at any hour. This feature is especially useful when cooking under the stars or when you need to add more wood chips to your grill without disturbing your guests. The air intake of the Everdure 4k is controlled by an airflow dial, marked from 1-6, which allows for precise temperature setting and replication on future cooks.
The sleek design of the 4k also features numbered positions, and its brushed aluminum top dial provides fine-tuning capabilities. The lid of the 4k locks securely shut and can be opened by pressing a button, and it has a woven mesh gasket that forms a tight seal when locked shut. This does an excellent job at trapping heat and smoke inside the grill.
The inner walls of the 4k are double-walled with insulation, much like a home oven, while the lid and body are made from die-cast aluminum. Inside the Everdure 4k, there is an 18-inch diameter cooking area that's perfect for searing steaks or cooking large pieces of meat. The top cooking grids are made out of stainless steel, providing durability, while the enameled cast iron grates sit closer to the fire and are perfect for achieving a nice crust on your food.
In addition to its impressive cooking capabilities, the 4k also comes with a cordierite pizza stone that can be used for baking crispy pizza over the coals. This stone can also be used as a heat deflector for low and slow smoking, allowing you to smoke further from the fire with indirect heat. The stainless steel grids sit over the deflector, making it easy to achieve consistent results.
One of my favorite features of the 4k is its fuel supply window on the right side of the grill, which makes it simple to add charcoal or wood chips without having to remove your food or cooking grates. I also enjoyed being able to spread out the coals while the cooking grids preheated and add wood chunks without any hassle.
The Everdure 4k also features an included water container that hangs from the grill, which allows you to keep your food moist and flavorful even when it's cooking at high temperatures. This feature is especially useful when cooking meats that require a lot of marinade or sauce.
When it comes to storage, the 4k's electrical plug retracts into the back of the grill, making it easy to stow away in a closet or cabinet when not in use. The pizza stone can be stored in this slot, and there are two hooks at the back of the grill for keeping grill tools. The grill body stand has a storage drawer that's perfect for keeping things like temp probes and the included grate gripper tool close at hand.
Finally, it's worth noting that the Everdure 4k is available in several color options, including graphite, which we were lucky enough to test today. If you're looking to upgrade your outdoor cooking setup, I highly recommend checking out the Everdure 4k Charcoal Grill and Smoker. Its innovative design, impressive features, and delicious results make it a top choice for anyone who loves cooking over an open flame.
In addition to the 4k grill, Everdure also offers a mobile prep kitchen that pairs perfectly alongside their grills. This compact kitchen features built-in containers to keep ingredients close, slots to store your knives, and a multipanel cutting board top that makes it easy to rinse off whatever sections you use. The chopping area even has a cut out for tossing debris into the concealed lower trash can.
The mobile prep kitchen is an excellent addition to any outdoor cooking setup, especially for areas where building a permanent island isn't possible. Its compact design and versatility make it an ideal solution for anyone who wants to cook delicious meals in their backyard without sacrificing space or functionality. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner, the Everdure mobile prep kitchen is sure to become your new favorite cooking companion.
