Concerned about numerous fires which were accidentally started by tipping over paraffin stoves, a South African inventor by the name of Ken Hall came up with the Cobb grill. Mr Hall's grill features a container which stays cool to the touch and provides a safe alternative for cooking steaks and fish, baking pizzas, roasting potatoes and veggies, and even heating up pasties. There's no need to burn down the neighbourhood just because we feel peckish, is there? Editors of the Time magazines though so too and consequently listed the Cobb Grill among the best inventions of 2001.
