Water-Cooled Grill Supposedly Keeps Meat From Charring

I've always thought that a good char on a burger made it exponentially more delicious, but in case you're worried about carcinogens, Wellbas' water-cooled barbecue grill promises that your slab of meat will come out tender, juicy and completely char-free. Water is pumped from a reservoir through small pipes on the actual grill to keep it cool even as you cook.
After the water finishes its route through the grill plate, it's cooled down again via a heat exchanger before making its way back into the grill. According to Wellbas, the system not only keeps food from turning black, it also lowers the fat content of your steak... supposedly because fat can't drain properly from charred bits.

I don't think I would like that. I like the char.

[BerryBaby]

Me too! If I didn't want the char, I wouldn't grill it.

Haven't we been fixing food this way since we discovered fire? Humanity seems to have survived this long eating it.

Almost sounds like steaming.

[ibcheft]

sounds like you might as well boil it, and searing does lock in the flavor aw that would be fat. If you can't grill your food with out burning it you need to practice some more or quit drinking as much and watch your food.

Really. No char?
