Its powerful infrared radiation allows dishes to release all their fragrances and flavours. It is highly prized for grilled eel and fish on the barbecue, for duck and beef… It is a recognised hallmark of quality, valued in renowned high-quality grill restaurants in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• It allows food to be cooked in direct contact with its surface. Cooking is instantaneous, and food is not burned. Binchotan also has several other proven and sometimes surprising properties:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• It absorbs bad odours (in shoes or socks, in the kitchen, in the refrigerator…)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• It absorbs moisture from a room\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Placed in your living spaces, it is said to improve blood circulation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Used as a filter, it purifies drinking water (removing chlorine and unpleasant 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\u003eBefore their first use, they should be boiled for a quarter of an hour in a large volume of water to remove any residue. 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\u003e• It is an excellent repellent against termites and other moisture-loving insects. Its use for cooking requires a little know-how. I recommend. To extinguish it, it offers an advantage that no other charcoal possesses. Simply submerge it in a container of water for a few minutes, then leave it to dry overnight, and finally, leave it in full sunlight or on a radiator (in winter) for one to two days to remove all residual moisture. You can then use it again. Purists extinguish it by placing it in a sealed, airtight cast-iron container, depriving the charcoal of oxygen, which will extinguish it very quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NISHIKIDORI 2026","offers":[{"title":"3 kg","offer_id":54111361728845,"sku":"NISBINL4-S","price":23.33,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 kg","offer_id":54111361761613,"sku":"NISBINL4","price":100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/BINL4-s.webp?v=1782141432","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/lau-binchotan-jowarishou-charcoal","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
