About Up Down Grill 휴대용 오븐

상하부 단일 열원을 활용하여 예열 시간을 단축하고 바비큐 등을 즐길 수 있는 휴대용 오븐입니다. 목재 프레임 구조로 경량화되어 있으며 사용 중에도 안전하게 접촉할 수 있습니다. 목재 프레임과 오븐 본체 사이의 통풍구는 굴뚝 효과를 발생시켜 별도의 부채질 없이 약 20분 만에 예열이 완료됩니다. 테이블로도 활용 가능한 뚜껑은 통풍구를 덮는 것만으로 안전하게 소화할 수 있습니다. 본체와 목재 프레임의 분리가 가능하여 금속 부품을 완전히 세척할 수 있습니다.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: This product has a special three-layer structure: an outer layer of air, insulation material, and wood. It effectively retains heat and prevents burns. There are no similar products available. The insulation design allows the oven to make the most of a single heat source, enabling users to cook in the lower section while enjoying BBQ or pot cooking in the upper section. The removable upper fire bed makes charcoal cleanup easy.
Dimensions & Packaging: size: 40cm x 40cm x 32 cm
weight: 16kg
material: Stainless steel (SUS304), aluminum, wood (white ash), pottery
Tags: oven, grill, outdoor, camping, heatinsulation
Production Technology: To ensure that even family members can use the kiln safely, insulation and wood frame make it lightweight and safe to touch during use. The ventilation openings between the wood frame and the oven provide a chimney effect that allows the oven to reach a pizza baking temperature in about 20 minutes without fanning it with a fan. The wood frame is assembled in a way that allows expansion due to heat to escape, and is black in color, which is compatible with metal and does not show dirt. To reduce the burden of cleanup, the lid, which can also be used as a table, can be used as a fire extinguishing lid by closing the ventilation openings when it is covered. The main body and wood frame can be separated so that the metal part can be washed entirely for hygienic and long-lasting use.
Design Challenge: Since the wood frame was adopted to make the oven lightweight and safe at the same time, it was necessary to prevent the wood from burning even under conditions where the oven section reaches 400 degrees Celsius or higher. In addition to the use of special heat-insulating materials, a structure was studied to prevent the hot metal parts from coming into direct contact with the wood.
Research: Interviews with Italian chefs defined the development requirements (oven over 350 degrees Celsius, under 20 kg, under 200,000 yen) because there were no safe ovens that could be carried around. In addition, a wood frame was adopted because user interviews indicated that they were concerned about the presence of children and pets at barbecues and other events. After creating a prototype and conducting user tests, some users expressed a desire to use the oven in home gardens and resorts, so a luxurious design with a black base that would fit in with such settings was created and commercialized.
Inspiration: Noridomi Ironworks is a company that makes handmade, custom-made sluice gates and industrial machinery. Taking advantage of their craftsmanship to create highly original metal products, they collaborated with local furniture designers to develop a grill that allows for easy barbecuing and oven cooking in home gardens and balconies.
Project Duration: This product was launched in Japan on June 1, 2022
Operation Flow: The Up-down Grill is a portable oven grill with a unique insulated structure that uses heat from both above and below, enabling a variety of cooking in a single unit. 350-400 degrees Celsius, similar to a brick pizza oven, and the far-infrared effect of the Hasami-ware pizza stone enables authentic pizza to be cooked in 2 minutes. A griddle and heat-resistant plate can also be inserted, allowing you to enjoy various dishes other than pizza. The wood frame keeps the surface temperature from rising, making it safe for children and pets.
