Its powerful infrared radiation allows dishes to release all their fragrances and flavours. It is highly prized for grilled eels and fish on the barbecue, for duck and beef… It is a proven mark of quality, celebrated in renowned high-quality grilled meat restaurants in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003e• It allows food to be cooked in direct contact on its surface. Cooking is instantaneous, and food is not burnt. Binchotan also has several other proven and sometimes surprising properties:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003e• It absorbs bad odours (in shoes or socks, in the kitchen, in the refrigerator…)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003e• It absorbs moisture from a room\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003e• Placed in your living spaces, it is said to improve blood circulation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003e• Used as a filter, it purifies drinking water (removing its chlorine and\/or bad taste or malodorous substances) or washing water. For drinking water, 60 g will be needed to treat one litre of tap water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eBefore their first use, they should be boiled for a quarter of an hour in a large volume of water to remove all residues. Then leave them to dry overnight in a dry, temperate place or in full sunlight, before placing them in your pitcher filled with water. After about ten hours, you will be able to enjoy pure water rich in minerals. Replace it every ten weeks for consistently perfect results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003e• It is an excellent repellent against termites and other moisture-seeking insects. Using it for cooking requires a little know-how. I recommend it. To extinguish it, it offers an advantage that no other charcoal possesses. Simply soak it in a container of water for a few minutes, then leave it to dry overnight and finally, for one to two days, leave it in full sunlight or on a radiator (in winter) to remove all residual moisture. You can then use it again. Purists extinguish it by placing it in a sealed cast-iron container to deprive the charcoal of oxygen, which will extinguish it very quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NISHIKIDORI 2026","offers":[{"title":"3 kg","offer_id":54111361597773,"sku":"NISBINL1-S","price":23.33,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 kg","offer_id":54111361630541,"sku":"NISBINL1","price":100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/BINL1-w-s.webp?v=1782141432","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/lau-binchotan-charcoal-komaru","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
