Stone grilling uses heated basalt or granite to sear protein while preserving moisture.
Origin: Inca, Quechua, Mapuche, and other Andean peoples (Pre-Columbian to present) — Andean highlands, South America
See full technique reference →The high thermal mass of volcanic stone delivers rapid heat transfer, initiating the Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids at 140–165 °C. Caramelization of sugars begins above 170 °C, producing a complex array of flavor compounds while the stone’s surface temperature remains below the point of excessive fat oxidation.
