The Otto Grill Original is tailor made for searing. That’s also why this grill is perfect for any thin food that cooks through fast, such as skirt steaks, fish fillets, shrimp and veggies.

A quality set of spatula and tongs is essential for good grilling. We recommend those with long handles such as the Weber Precision 2-Piece Grilling Tool Set as they keep you as far from the heat as possible. The set is dishwasher safe, while the soft touch handles offer a comfortable non-slip grip.
