Product Description

The same premium Binchotan hardwood white charcoal in a convenient 11 lb. size — perfect for smaller operations or trial orders. Binchotan is highly valued in Japanese cuisine for grilling, especially for dishes like yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) and other barbecue items. It's considered the "Rolls Royce" of all charcoals.

Key benefits: • Consistent and Long-Lasting Heat: Burns at a steady, high temperature for a longer duration than other charcoals — ideal for searing meats and achieving a good char. • Clean Burning: Produces minimal smoke and very little ash, resulting in a cleaner grilling experience with fewer off-flavors. • Enhanced Flavor: The clean, even heat helps develop better flavors and textures, providing a perfect sear without overwhelming the taste of the food. • No Chemical Additives: Made from natural materials without chemical additives or binders, keeping the flavor of your food pure and untainted. • Efficient Burning: High carbon content means it burns more efficiently — less waste and a more economical grilling experience. • Aesthetic Appeal: The bright white glow of Binchotan adds aesthetic appeal to the grilling experience, prized by chefs and enthusiasts alike.

When finished grilling, you can re-use the charcoal. Simply starve the charcoal of oxygen by placing it in a metal container with an air tight lid. You can also place the charcoal one by one in water and defuse them. Once cooled, place them on a metal tray and leave them outside to dry for 24 hours. Once they are dried, they are ready to use again.
