The Domino Barbecue transforms in a jiffy from outdoor furniture to a grill

Posted on by

It’s the season to do some barbecues and grills, and at such times I envy those who actually have one. Due to space constraints not all of us can own it, and when innovations like The Domino Barbecue surface, it makes me wonder – why can’t they be real! I especially like the way designer Umit Can Koralay has cleverly incorporated half-a-marble slab that serves as a cover for the grill when laid open, and as a prep / service area, when you’re grilling.

There are two drawers under, one for charcoal storing and the other for cutlery. A simple concept that works well for most folks with small spaces.

“Top surface is split into two blocks that gives the product its name domino. The marble block can be folded which uncovers the grill underneath. The folded marble surface can be used for food preparation & serving during barbecuem,” Umit Can Koralay explains to YD.

Grating Just Got Easier

My kitchen, like many of yours is filled with gadgets and gizmos to prepare food. My utensils drawer has many graters and slicers that I thought were cool looking, but nearly take the skin off my fingers when I try and use them – they also take a long time to get the job done. Who has time anymore?

Designer Umit Can Koralay, has created the Gravel food grater / slicer. This device is the perfect answer for me and well, all of us. Built bottom heavy, it allows for easier balancing while being used on the cutting board or even over bowls, pots or pans. The tube to insert the food makes clean up super easy, and with the push of a button, you can eject the blades and replace them for the different grating needs.

This awesome little wireless device makes using it easy, without having to worry about lugging around big pieces of equipment that you have to plug into the wall. Because it is wireless, cleanup is super easy. Once the Gravel needs a recharge, simply place it on the induction plate for next usage. Next time I’m grating my veggies, I will surely wish Gravel was in my hand.
