This ceramic grill plate is designed for use on home gas stoves and is produced by Maruju Wire Mesh, a company founded in 1947. The ceramic (white) surface heats up to emit far-infrared rays, helping retain moisture and enhance the natural flavors of the food, resulting in a soft and juicy texture. When used for toasting bread, it creates a crisp outer layer while keeping the inside tender and slightly chewy. The smaller size is perfectly suited for a single slice of toast, while the larger version can accommodate both a slice of bread and a small side dish at the same time.
