Doesn't the dishes of grilled birds and BBQ baked over charcoal or clay pots look better than usual?
It has an environmental effect, such as a situation with friends and a cooking scene that is appetizing, but it is said that the flavor is increasing due to the fact that charcoal and clay pots emit.
The cooking hack tool "Portable Binjin Charcoal", which can easily obtain such a far-infrared effect, has appeared on the sister site Machi-ya.
It was a super easy tool that could be put in cooking, fried food, and boiled dishes, so I borrowed a sample and experimented with how effective it was.
Products aimed at the effects of charcoal fire
"Portable Bincho charcoal" looks like a coaster.The name contains charcoal, but the main material was ceramic, and it was like a bowl or mug.
Far infrared rays have the property of producing heat by vibrating the molecules of organic matter.
When the properties of the "Portable Bincho Charcoal" were checked by the inspection organization, it was possible to confirm far -infrared radiation higher than Bincho charcoal in some wavelengths.
How much the taste changes, because there are many variables such as materials, cooking methods, or personal taste, cannot be said unconditionally.However, there are many dishes that are delicious thanks to far -infrared rays, such as stone -grilled potatoes, so it seems that they can be expected.
By the way, the crucifixion in the center seems to be a device to increase the radiation rate by expanding the surface area.
Looking at the final product, it has a simple shape, but it may have been a lot of trial and error before this.
Certainly there is a change
I actually cooked rice and checked the effect.
There is no difficult point because you only need to add "Portable Bincho Charcoal" before cooking rice.All you have to do is click the rice cooking button!
Now, cooked.
I thought that there was no major change just by looking at it, but looking closely, it seemed that the grain was better than usual cooking.
I can't say that it is an experiment just by my sense, so I will post a change in appearance.
You can see that the number of martial areas that the umami ingredients have been melted out by adding "Portable Bincho Charcoal".
There is also a dissertation for this cat, and it seems that it will affect the taste of rice such as sweetness, so it can be said that the level is improved by the far -infrared effect.
It is difficult to convey the taste, but my impression was that using "Portable Bincho Charcoal" was more sweet after biting.
Although there are individual differences in how you feel it is not a dramatic change, it may be nice to improve the quality just by cooking rice.
In this experiment, only rice cooked, but it can also be applied to cooking that uses heat such as fried food and boiled food.It is difficult to use real charcoal for every time, but it is a unique strength of ceramic -born "portable Bincho charcoal".
In addition, it seems that it can be used for products that use a pot, but please note that direct fire and oven are NG.
Reasonable because it can be used repeatedly
One of the advantages is that the body is ceramic material, so it can be washed and used repeatedly like tableware.It is good that both use and care are easy!
I think many people have increased their own cooking opportunities due to the increase in home time, but why not try to improve your daily dining table a little with a hassle hack tool without any hassle?
The simple and convenient "Portable Bincho Charcoal" that can bring out the taste of the material with the far-infrared effect is currently conducting a great campaign on the crowdfunding site Machi-YA.
At the time of writing, it was possible to order from 3,065 yen (including tax and shipping) of 30 % 0FF.
