Kurtoskalacs Grills

Kürtőskalács Grills – Authentic Hungarian Dessert for Professional Preparation

A Kürtőskalács grill is a specialized piece of equipment designed for making the traditional Hungarian “chimney cake”. Known also as trdelník or baumstriezel, this dessert originated in Central Europe and has become a favorite street food treat worldwide. It is made from yeast dough wrapped around a cylindrical roller, coated with sugar, and slowly baked while rotating over evenly distributed heat. The result is a lightly caramelized, crispy crust and soft, airy interior, enhanced with toppings such as sugar, nuts, chocolate, or cinnamon.
