Description

CIRCLE combines the joy of grilling with shared enjoyment in a compact and uncomplicated way, bringing grilling over an open flame to any place you desire. Powered by bioethanol, this multifunctional tabletop grill creates a continuous rhythm of placing, turning and enjoying. Its distinctive circular design turns CIRCLE into a 360° grilling experience and fosters a sociable atmosphere where conversation, laughter and culinary creativity emerge naturally.

Grilling is done over real fire on a solid cast-iron plancha. It impresses with a generous grilling surface, multiple temperature zones and virtually limitless possibilities – from juicy steaks and delicate scampi to vegetables or sweet dessert creations.

The flame height can be adjusted continuously via the control dial, allowing for precise temperature control. For everything that needs to stay warm, six optional warming pans can be slid underneath the plancha – ideal for side dishes or already grilled food. Thanks to the gentle, constant heat, flavours are preserved, allowing the grill menu to be enjoyed at your own pace.

CIRCLE operates without electricity or charcoal, using clean, odourless, soot- and smoke-free bioethanol instead. This allows you to grill wherever you have always wanted – indoors or outdoors. The tabletop grill is safely filled via the integrated safety lock and burns continuously for two hours. Six flames ensure even heat distribution across the entire grilling surface, while the included flame extinguisher guarantees safe extinguishing.

The CIRCLE tabletop grill brings fire into the heart of everyday life and impresses with simple and safe handling from start to finish. A high-quality, durable and uncomplicated companion for sociable moments of enjoyment, where grilling becomes a shared memory rather than just a side activity.

Safety information

Only use CIRCLE 35 on a stable, heat-resistant, level surface, indoors or outdoors. Keep at least 50 cm clearance above and around the flame from anything flammable (curtains, shelving, low ceilings). Fill the tank only when the burner is cold and extinguished, using höfats liquid bioethanol fuel — never a different fuel type, and never refill while lit. The plancha and surrounding housing get very hot during and after use; use the supplied flame extinguisher to put out the flame rather than water. Do not leave burning unattended, and keep children and pets away from the grilling surface while in use or cooling. Tested to DIN EN 16647 for indoor use; ventilate the room while burning.

What top chefs say about CIRCLE

Imran Farzand

Imran Farzand

Private Chef & Cooking Class Instructor

★★★★★

I was honestly surprised by how much heat CIRCLE brings to the plancha. The roasted flavours are really strong, and at the same time, the temperature can be regulated very precisely using the control dial. It is exactly this mix of fire and control that makes professional cooking simply enjoyable.

★★★★★

No cable, no gas cartridge, and yet real fire right in the middle of the table — that's exactly what I love about CIRCLE. I can simply take it anywhere with me, and my mind immediately bubbles with ideas for new dishes and evenings with friends. The best part: thanks to the 360° experience, everyone at the table somehow becomes a little chef themselves, and suddenly a shared experience emerges.

★★★★★

With CIRCLE, we can create truly exceptional evenings for our guests. Every course allows us to involve them interactively. What makes it special is the variety of cooking methods we can use, ensuring every dish feels different. From searing a tataki on the plancha and gently cooking our char to finishing our mountain cheese toast, CIRCLE offers endless possibilities. It creates a unique connection between our guests and our kitchen, allowing us to share our philosophy in a truly memorable way.

★★★★★

What I particularly like about CIRCLE is how uncomplicated and versatile cooking together suddenly becomes. Outside on the terrace just as much as inside at the table. The plancha heats up extremely quickly, and while high heat is being used there, everyone can do their own thing in the small pans — here vegetables and fish simmer to a translucent doneness, there something is gratinated or kept warm. And after the meal, everything is just as quickly clean again.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use CIRCLE indoors as well?

Yes, CIRCLE can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Can I refill bioethanol while grilling?

No. You cannot refill bioethanol while it is burning. Wait until CIRCLE has completely cooled down before relighting or moving it.

Can I adjust the flame height myself?

Yes. Using the CIRCLE control ring, you can adjust the flame height of all burners simultaneously and set your desired temperature.

How long does it take before I can start grilling?

Let the plancha heat up for 5–10 minutes to reach the proper temperature before you start grilling.

How do I extinguish the flames?

The flames are safely extinguished using the flame extinguisher included in the package, by blowing them out through the holes under the glass cylinder.

Which oil is suitable for grilling on the plancha?

Use oils with a high smoke point, such as rapeseed, peanut, or avocado oil. Avoid cold-pressed oils or butter on the plancha. Use as little oil and marinade as possible to reduce smoke and odours.

Is the plancha free from PFAS substances?

Yes, the plancha grill plate, as well as all other grilling products for CIRCLE, are free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Do the flames go out in the wind?

No. The flames are protected by the glass cylinder and will not go out in normal wind. However, for optimal temperatures when grilling and cooking, it is recommended to use CIRCLE in a sheltered location so that the flames can reach their full intensity.

Will there be additional accessories for CIRCLE in the future?

Yes. CIRCLE is deliberately designed as an open system that goes far beyond the classic tabletop grill. Around the fire in the centre of the table, a new world of grilling and cooking emerges. Accordingly, we are continuously working on new accessories and expansions that enable additional cooking methods and further enhance the CIRCLE experience.

How can I clean my CIRCLE, plancha and small pans?

Plancha: remove food residues preferably while warm using a rounded spatula, then wipe the plancha with a kitchen towel. After it has cooled, clean the plancha by hand with water and mild detergent. Do not use steel wool, wire brushes or abrasive cleaners — a soft brush or sponge is suitable.

Small pans: remove food residues while warm using the included wooden spatula. After cooling, the small pans can be washed by hand with mild detergent or in the dishwasher (the wooden spatulas are not dishwasher-safe).

Burner unit: carefully clean the outside of the burner with a damp cloth. Do not clean the ends of the wick tubes. Internal cleaning is not necessary — never put the burner in the dishwasher or hold it under running water.

What should I use to light CIRCLE?

Use a long lighter. A normal lighter can leave a burn mark on the glass.
