The Eva Solo Table Grill was created to have the ability for its visual appeal to be retained over the duration of many years. With this in mind, it was also designed to be able to fit on a dining table so everyone around it would be able to cook their own food. The design of the Eva Solo Table Grill was made so the grill wouldn’t burn or cause damage beneath the grill’s surface, it also consists of a wooden table protector.

Due to its convenient size, which is fairly small, the table grill is very portable. It contains a handle which is easy to carry around with and being able to bring the grill to the beach or even the park for a barbeque will be effortless. This attractive design also has the ability to be used as a salad dish and being able to be washed in the dish washer, proving its worth as a versatile product.
