A system of modular, interlocking, raised-rail grate panels and a complementarily-shaped basin for supporting and peripherally-containing the base of the grate panels while continuing to allow the passage of gasses lengthwise between the raised rails and the passage of gases and liquids through the base of the grate panels, such that delivery of searing and reflective heat to a cooking food is facilitated, wherein the grate panels and basin are coated with an abrasion-resistant, high-temperature, easy-to-clean, non-stick coating for ease of use, and wherein accessory features such as integrated, stylized food branding irons and raised-rail adaptive cooking tools are optionally provided.
