Magma's Del Mar Grill Receives Prestigious    
American Culinary Institute
"Award of Excellence''


Magma Products, Inc., manufacturer of top-line marine and residential grills and accessories, is pleased to announce that its Del Mar gas grill has been given an American Culinary Institute "Award of Excellence." The Del Mar was deemed to be a superior product based on its function, ergonomics, durability and design. Executive chefs from the institute conducted a blind comparison test to determine award-winning products.
"We are honored that the prestigious American Culinary Institute has determined that a Magma grill is deserving of its 'Award of Excellence,"' said Tom Dougherty, director of marketing, Magma Products, Inc. "The Del Mar's combination of form and function have made it a popular grill among consumers, so being recognized by the nation's top chefs is the icing on the cake. We are thrilled to be included in this upper echelon of culinary products."
The Del Mar (MSRP $429) can serve as a barbecue, stove or even an oven, thanks to Magma's exclusive patented radiant burner plate system. Fast response means temperatures are reached effciently, and the Del Mar's bowl design generates even cooking temperatures across the grill surface. The surface area on this 16-inch diameter grill is generous, with 201 square inches of griIling space.
The Del Mar grill comes fully assembled for instant gratification - just attach a disposable, lightweight screw-on propane canister, readily available at grocery and hardware stores, and go. Its single knob design hides away with one-touch, and the Del Mar turns on and off in one easy motion thanks to its dependable Piezo igniter system and instant on/off brass valve.
Attractive and functional, the sleek Del Mar is 100% stainless steel. An 18-9 grade mirror polished stainless steel exterior resists corrosion and maintains the grill's beauty, while its stainless steel interior is 18-8 grade burnished for strength and durability. Not just a looker, the Del Mar is a full-featured grilling system, that can function as a grill, a stove, and even offers an optional wok for stir-fry veggies. Because it is dishwasher safe, cleaning up the Del Mar is a snap.
