GYROS - KEBAB GRILLS
Gyros and kebab grills are designed for vertical rotisserie grilling of meat for gyros, kebab, and shawarma. Electric and gas models allow individual control of the heating zones and adjustment of the distance between the heat source and the meat as its diameter changes. Different grill sizes cover approximately 20 to 55 kg of meat.
Vertical grilling and continuous slicing
During cooking, the meat rotates on a vertical spit in front of the heat source. The browned outer layer is gradually sliced off while the remaining meat continues to grill. This method supports continuous preparation according to the current demand for gyros, kebab, or shawarma.
Below the spit is a pressed juice collector with a perforated grid and removable drawer, making it easier to remove fat and food residue after grilling.
Electric and gas gyros grills
Electric models use Incoloy stainless steel heating elements and refractory stone that accumulates heat. Gas versions operate with high-pressure infrared burners.
The individual heating zones can be controlled separately according to the height of the meat on the spit. This allows the active heating area to be adjusted to the amount of meat being grilled.
Adjusting the heat as the meat gets smaller
As cooked meat is sliced off during service, the diameter of the meat on the spit gradually decreases. The movable heating assembly allows the distance between the heat source and the meat to be adjusted to its current size.
Capacity based on the amount of meat
Different spit heights and capacities make it possible to select the grill size according to expected sales volume. The range includes smaller models for approximately 20 kg of meat, medium-sized versions for around 35 kg, and large gyros grills with a capacity of up to 55 kg.
Accessories for gyros and kebab grills
Available accessories include replacement spits, a stainless steel protective screen, and a stainless steel serving paddle. An electric gyros knife can be used to slice the browned outer layer of meat during service. These accessories make it possible to organize the workstation according to the preparation and service of gyros or kebab.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an electric and a gas gyros grill?
The main difference is the heating system and the utility connection required. Electric models use heating elements, while gas models use infrared gas burners. The available electrical or gas connection at the installation location should therefore be considered when selecting the grill.
What size gyros grill should you choose?
The grill size should correspond to the amount of meat prepared on a single spit. For higher production volumes, sufficient spit height and meat capacity are important to handle the expected demand during service.
How is a gyros grill adjusted as the meat is sliced?
As the cooked outer layer is sliced away, the diameter of the meat on the spit decreases. The movable heating assembly allows the distance between the heat source and the meat to be adjusted, while individual heating zones can be controlled according to the current height and amount of meat.
What is the difference between gyros, kebab, and shawarma?
All three are prepared by grilling meat on a vertical rotating spit, but they differ in origin, meat selection, seasoning, and serving style. Gyros comes from Greek cuisine and is traditionally made primarily with pork or chicken. Döner kebab originates from Turkish cuisine and commonly uses beef, lamb, or chicken. Shawarma comes from the Middle East and is distinguished especially by its characteristic seasoning and serving style. The same type of vertical gyros and kebab grill can be used for all three preparations.
