• It is extremely dense and porous
• Its combustion is very slow and therefore allows a use of several hours.
• He heats at very high temperatures
• It does not produce smoke or unpleasant odor • It is considerable hardness

• Used in cooking, it gives food from subtle and delicious flavors. Its powerful infrared radiation allows the dishes to exhale all their perfumes and flavors.It is very popular for the eels and grilled fish in barbecue, for duck and beef ... it is a guarantee of proven quality and highlighted. In renowned and high quality grill restaurants in Japan.
• It cook food in direct contact on its surface. Cooking is instantaneous, and foods are not burned. The Binchotan also has several other proven and sometimes surprising virtues:
• It absorbs bad smells (in shoes or socks, in the kitchen, in the refrigerator ...)
• It absorbs the moisture of a room
• placed in your living rooms, it would improve blood circulation
• Used as a filter, it purifies the drinking water (the rid of its chlorine or its bad taste or smelly substances) or washing. For beverage water, 60 gr will be required to treat a liter of tap water.
It will take, before their first use, boil a quarter of an hour in a large volume of water, in order to rid them of all residues. Then let them dry one night in a dry and temperate place, or in full sun, then place them in your pitcher filled with water. After a dozen hours, guests can enjoy pure and mineral water. Change it every ten weeks for an always perfect result.
• It is an excellent repellent against termites and other insects eager moisture its use for the cooking requires a small know-how. I recommend to turn it off, it offers an advantage that no other coal has. Simply soak it in a container containing water for a few minutes then to dry it all overnight and finally, for one to two days to leave it in full sun or on a radiator (in winter) to remove all the residual moisture. You can then use it again. The purists turn it off by placing it in a hermetic cast iron container, closed, to deprive the oxygen coal, which will extolle it very quickly.
