KONRO PRO.5.4 / Table Top Grill Rack

The Konro Rack.5.4 is designed to give you multi-level grilling on the Flamery Konro PRO.5.4. It provides three tiers (two adjustable heights and one fixed) that let you cook foods at different distances from the charcoal. This means you can sear foods close to the heat and then move them up to a higher level to finish cooking gently or keep them warm without overcooking. Chefs use this rack to create multiple heat zones on one grill – for example, grilling skewers or steaks on the lower level for a quick char, then resting or warming them on an upper level. The result is greater control and versatility: you can elevate food for gentler cooking, create a multi-zone setup, rest meats without losing heat, and even organize skewers during service for efficient workflow. In short, the Rack.5.4 opens up new use-cases by literally adding an extra dimension to your grilling.

The Rack.5.4 is constructed from high-grade 304 stainless steel, which is a food-safe, corrosion-resistant metal. In practice, this means it can handle the intense heat of binchotan or charcoal grilling night after night without warping or rusting. The build quality is geared for professional use – it’s precision-crafted and very sturdy, providing a stable platform even under heavy loads of food. You can trust that this rack’s materials and construction are meant for the rigors of a busy restaurant kitchen (or a serious home chef), offering longevity and consistent performance. Its robust design ensures it will hold up to high temperatures and frequent use while maintaining its structural integrity and heat responsiveness. In short, the Rack.5.4’s materials and workmanship are top-notch, so it’s more than durable enough for professional grilling environments.

Seasoning your grill is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to create a non-stick surface, making it easier to cook and clean your grill. Additionally, seasoning helps to protect the stainless steel surfaces from rust and corrosion, prolonging the life of your grill. Lastly, seasoning also helps to enhance the flavor of your food by adding a subtle smoky taste from the oils used during the seasoning process. Overall, seasoning your grill ensures optimal performance and longevity, allowing you to enjoy delicious grilled dishes for years to come.

Cleaning the Konro Rack.5.4 is straightforward and hassle-free. The rack is fully removable – it lifts right off the grill – which makes it easy to take aside for cleaning. Always let it cool down completely before cleaning. Then, you can brush off any food debris or charcoal soot with a grill brush, and wash the rack with warm soapy water (a gentle scrub with a sponge or non-abrasive pad will remove any grease). Thanks to its 304 stainless steel construction, it won’t rust, and it can handle a thorough scrubbing. Just avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools, as these can scratch or dull the steel’s finish. Routine maintenance is minimal: after each service, clean off any residue to prevent buildup, and periodically check that all parts are in good shape (there aren’t many moving parts to worry about). With basic cleaning and care, your Rack.5.4 will stay in great condition for the long haul.

Safety is paramount when using the Rack.5.4 in any high-heat scenario. First and foremost, remember that the entire rack will get extremely hot during use – just like the grill itself – so always use heat-resistant gloves and long-handled tongs when adjusting the rack or moving food on it. The rack is built for stability and locks onto the Konro grill securely, but you should still double-check that it’s seated properly on the grill before loading it with food. In a busy kitchen, keep the area around the grill clear to prevent any accidental bumps or contact with the hot metal. Also maintain good ventilation (as you would with any charcoal grill) and keep the rack away from flammable materials or low-hanging overheads, since the heat does rise higher with the rack in place. Never leave the grill and rack unattended while cooking, and communicate with your team when you’re moving hot items on or off the rack to avoid surprises. By following these precautions – using proper protective gear, ensuring stability, and staying vigilant – you’ll safely integrate the Konro Rack.5.4 into your service without incident.

When not in use, it’s best to treat your Konro Rack.5.4 much like any quality stainless steel cookware. Thanks to its 304 stainless steel build, it’s highly durable and resistant to corrosion, so it will hold up very well over time. However, to keep it in top condition, we recommend cleaning it after use and storing it in a dry, covered area. If you’re in a professional kitchen, this could mean placing it on a clean shelf or in a storage bin once it’s dry; if outdoors, consider using a protective cover or bringing it inside to avoid prolonged exposure to rain or humidity. The rack isn’t prone to rust, but keeping it dry will prevent any possible water spots or wear on the finish. Its compact, sturdy form makes it easy to stow away (you can even set it inside the grill or hang it, if convenient). In short, store it somewhere clean and dry, and it will remain durable and service-ready for the long run. This accessory is built to last, so with basic care you can expect to use it for many seasons of grilling.

The Konro Rack.5.4 is a fantastic tool for fine-tuning your heat control on a charcoal grill. Start by getting your coals to the desired intensity in the Konro PRO.5.4 grill. Once you’re cooking, use the rack’s levels to your advantage: the lower tier is closest to the coals for intense direct heat, perfect for searing or giving a quick char, while the upper tiers provide more gentle radiant heat for slower cooking, finishing, or keeping dishes warm without overcooking. A good technique is to sear or grill items on the bottom level, then move them up to a higher level to cook through more gradually or to rest. By shifting foods between the different rack heights, you effectively control how much heat each item receives without needing to adjust the fire itself. This mirrors the traditional Japanese robata/yakitori approach to heat management, where chefs move skewers up or down to moderate cooking temperature. Additionally, take advantage of the rack’s open design and ventilation patterns – they ensure consistent airflow, so avoid covering too much of the rack surface with foil or pans, as that could impede heat circulation. With a bit of practice, you’ll develop a sense of which foods cook best at which level, allowing you to expertly manage searing, cooking, and resting all at once.
