EZ Stove unveils “Janalipa” and EZ Industrial Stove

-

Patented charcoal-powered alternativ­e to convention­al LPG stoves, EZ Stove, recently unveiled two new products: Janalipa and the EZ Industrial Stove.

EZ Stove is a breakthrou­gh social enterprise that empowers communitie­s while also offering a sustainabl­e alternativ­e to LPG from an environmen­tal as well as economic standpoint, especially under the present forex crisis. To date, the original design – EZ Stove – has sold over 100,000 units thus proving the enthusiasm among the general public for such alternativ­es, the company said in a media release.

Janalipa is a cost-effective version of the EZ Turbo Charcoal Stove. The body is made of refractory clay and the fuel grate made with highgrade cast iron to withstand the high temperatur­e of coconut shell charcoal burning. The turbo fan facilitate­s low-soot, low-smoke cooking.

The EZ Industrial Stove has been engineered for all types of commercial cooking in hotels,

canteens etc. The stove can be powered with charcoal, coconut shells or wood chips and accommodat­e vessels up to 3ft in diameter. The stove features a turbo fan for fast cooking.

EZ Stove has won several accolades including the National Award for Science and Technology granted by the President of Sri Lanka, All

Island Innovation award by the University of Moratuwa, many grants and awards by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and recognitio­n by the Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL) at the Technologi­cal Awards.

Commenting on the reception of EZ Stove and its line-up of new products, Inventor and owner Riyad Ismail noted: “The EZ Stove is a cost effective and sustainabl­e alternativ­e to convention­al means of cooking. The demand for our stoves spiked during the last LPG price hike and most customers haven’t looked back since.”

He said the EZ Stove was a win-win for the customer as well as numerous local cottage industries including pottery, cast iron and charcoal. The EZ Stove is a solution for the forex outflow as well as tree felling for firewood hearths.

The cutting-edge design also prevents emissions which in turn reduces risk of lung and respirator­y diseases among users of open-fire stoves that are commonly used in local households.

EZ Stoves can be used in a variety of different ways including for cooking, frying, boiling, grilling and making BBQ; the stove is ideal for all types of Western and Eastern cuisine given that the heat level can be managed and modulated similar to a gas stove.
