Handige tips om met je pan te barbecueën

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

The taste of smoky goodness paired with the ease and comfort of pan cooking: what a win! No need to run back and forth between your kitchen and your garden if you’ve got an elaborate menu planned – our BBQ-proof pans can take the heat and can be placed directly onto a grill, coals, or open flame. 

MORE THAN JUST MEAT

Step away from a classic, meat-heavy BBQ set-up – although the Artist frying pan does give a beautiful sear. By using a Stark cast-iron pan, you can cook curries, stews, and even some sauces directly on the grill. Move your coals to one side of the barbecue for cooking and searing and place your pan on the ‘empty’ side for stewing or resting your meat. You’ll have the added advantage of having all your dishes ready to go at the same time.

Recipe tip: a refreshing BBQ fish curry

COOKING WITH SMALLER INGREDIENTS

If you’ve chosen to grill smaller ingredients such as seafood, vegetables, or even fruit, a Nori grill pan will give you those beautiful sear marks and keep all your items in one place – you’ll no longer feel the frustration of losing your food to the flames.

Recipe tip: smoky-sweet grilled peaches

SAVE TIME FOR SOCIALIZING

Why don’t you explore more elaborate recipes this summer and try your hand at some homemade pulled pork or brisket? Save time for socializing – use the barbecue to sear your meat and transfer it to a Nori Dutch Oven for further simmering. Plus, a Dutch Oven will give you a deeper, richer flavor due to its unique caramelization properties.

Pro tip: Cast iron is great at holding heat but takes a while to warm up. Place it on your barbecue while the coals warm up so it’s ready by the time you need it.

MASTER HIGH TEMPERATURES

When working with high heat, it’s best to use an oil with a high smoke point for your pan because temperatures can quickly rise. Opt for avocado, peanut or sunflower oil to cook your food, and use olive oil or butter at the end for added taste.

Pro tip: Things can get very hot, very fast on the barbecue. Make sure to use BBQ-proof heatproof gloves instead of your indoor oven mitts to handle hot pans.
