HVILKEN ER BEDST?
When it comes to selecting a grill, the first decision you'll need to make is whether to go a wood/charcoal grill or a gas grill. This choice is crucial as it will shape your entire grilling experience. To assist you in making an informed, let's dive into a comprehensive breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of wood and gas grills. By understanding the benefits offered by each, you will be able to determine which one best suits your and preferences.
Wood grills elevate grilling to a whole new level by adding the most exceptional and tantalizing flavors. The use of wood or charcoal as fuel enhances the taste and aroma of your grilled food, taking it to a gourmet level. The smoky flavor imparted by wood grills is unmatched, giving your dishes a unique and memorable character. Additionally, wood grills offer greater control over the temperature, allowing you to achieve the perfect level of heat for different types of ingredients. This precision ensures that your food is cooked to perfection, guaranteeing an exquisite dining experience.
convenience and ease of use
On the other hand, gas grills provide convenience and ease of use. These grills come with adjustable burners that enable temperature control with a simple turn of a knob. Unlike wood grills, there's no need to wait for charcoal to ignite and reach the desired temperature. With a gas grill, you can start cooking immediately. Additionally, gas grills are easier to clean but do require much more maintenance compared to their wood counterparts. Arteflame grills use no valves, switches or gimmicks of any kind that can break.
To summarize, wood grills excel in the realm of flavor, infusing your food with an unrivaled smoky taste that delights the palate. The use of wood or charcoal provides much higher temperatures, ensuring perfect cooking results. On the other hand, gas grills offer convenience.
Armed with a thorough understanding of the benefits associated with both wood and gas grills, you're now equipped to make an informed decision. Consider your personal preferences, cooking style, and the overall grilling experience you desire. Ultimately, the choice between wood/charcoal and gas grills will depend on your specific needs and desires.
It worked exactly how I expected, and people love to see the Arteflame not only for the delicious food that comes from the plate but also call it a real eye-catcher.
So far I love my Arteflame. Did I mention it’s my favorite cooker, and I own a Yoder, an Egg, a gaser, a flat top griddle, a Smokey Mountain, CampChef stove, and two kettles. My favorite way to use the Arteflame is using the riser and cooking on natural stone over a hot open flame.
Unequaled quality of materials and fabrication added to a wonderful design. Very easy to control cooking temperature by moving food to a hotter or cooler section of the plate as needed. I’ve used the rotisserie and pizza oven and both work well.
GASSMAG VS TRÆ ILDSMAG
Er du træt af at gå på kompromis med smagen af din grillmad? Se ikke længere! Løsningen på dit problem ligger i at vælge en brændefyret grill. Det er tid til at tage din grilloplevelse til næste niveau og nyde den udsøgte smag, som kun en brændefyret grill kan give.
Lad os være ærlige, den primære grund til, at folk foretrækker at grille frem for andre tilberedningsmetoder, er den uovertrufne smag, det giver til maden. Og når det kommer til smag, er grillning med træ i en liga for sig. Den unikke smag, som en brændefyret grill tilføjer til din mad, kan simpelthen ikke gentages andre steder.
taste of wood-fired grilled food
But why is the taste of wood-fired grilled food so exceptional? There are two key elements at play here: searing and smoke flavor. Searing locks in the juices and creates a mouthwatering caramelized crust on your food, enhancing its flavor and texture. And let's not forget about the unmistakable aroma of smoke that infuses your food, giving it that irresistible smoky flavor that you crave.
Now, let's talk about gas grills for a moment. It's important to note that the gas used in your grill is the same gas that powers city buses. Just think about it. Grilling on gas means your food is being exposed to the same fumes as a city bus exhaust! Do you really want that unpleasant smell lingering on your food? We're guessing not.
So, if you're serious about taking your grilling game to the next level and indulging in the lovely taste of wood-fired grilled food, it's time to make the switch. Say goodbye to compromise and hello to flavor perfection. Get yourself a wood-fired grill today and ignite a world of culinary possibilities. Your taste buds will thank you!
WHY IS A GREAT SEAR IMPORTANT?
When proteins and carbohydrates (sugars) are heated together, the Maillard reaction occurs, which is essential for developing rich and complex flavors in food.
Steakhouses sear over wood at 1,000°F to properly sear the food and enhance its flavor. Arteflame Grills excel at reaching these high temperatures and are perfect for achieving that coveted sear. The intense heat generated by wood or charcoal creates a beautifully caramelized crust on the food, resulting in a more enjoyable dining experience.
gas grills heat food indirectly
Gas grills heat food indirectly and are not well-suited for proper searing as they typically don't reach the high temperatures required. Although some high-end gas grills have sear burners, they are often small and limited in their capacity.
For those looking to truly indulge in the taste of barbecued food, charcoal and wood grills are the superior choice. The combination of their intense heat and the Maillard reaction guarantees a more flavorful and satisfying meal. So, if taste is your priority, opting for a charcoal or wood-fired grill is the way to go.
NØGLEN TIL FANTASTISKE BØFFER
Når det kommer til at opnå den perfekte bruning på kød, er det vigtigt at forstå begrænsningerne ved de fleste gasgrill. Selvom disse griller bestemt kan "brune" overfladen af din mad, kæmper de ofte for at nå de høje temperaturer, der kræves for optimal brænding.
Processen med bruning, kendt som Maillard-reaktionen, begynder omkring 350 ° F. For virkelig at opnå de bedste resultater skal temperaturen dog overstige 500°F. Desværre resulterer grillning ved en lavere temperatur i overdreven tilberedning af kødets indre, da bruningsprocessen tager for lang tid at finde sted.
Det, der adskiller svitningen fra simpel bruning, er den overfladedehydrering og sprødhed, det giver maden. Dette skaber en ønskværdig kontrast i tekstur mellem den ydre skorpe og det ømme indre. Steakhouses svitse deres mad ved 1.000 ° F; hvis du vil have steakhouse-kvalitet, har du brug for steakhouse-temperaturer.
nå temperaturer over 1.000°F
Når det kommer til brænding, er en kul- eller brændefyret grill essentiel. Få griller kan nå temperaturer over 1.000°F, hvilket giver den intense varme, der er nødvendig for at opnå den eftertragtede bruning.
Hvis du leder efter en alsidig grill, der brænder ved høje temperaturer og giver den bekvemmelighed og lethed som en gasgrill, skal du ikke lede længere end til Arteflame. Denne innovative grill kombinerer det bedste fra begge verdener og opnår steakhouse-svidetemperaturer, der overgår selv traditionelle kulgrills.
Så mens de fleste gasgrill er i stand til at brune mad, er det en udfordring at nå de temperaturer, der kræves for korrekt brænding. For dem, der søger den ultimative brændeoplevelse, anbefales en kul- eller brændefyret grill.

HIGH TEMPERATURE SEARING
FOR STEAKHOUSE QUALITY STEAKS
Steak aficionados, listen up! When it comes to achieving that perfect sear on your favorite cut of meat, the choice of equipment is vital. Steak restaurants rely on gas broilers capable of reaching scorching temperatures of 800°F - 1200°F or, even better, grill over a wood fire at these same temperatures.
To truly replicate the mouthwatering sear commonly found in steakhouses, it is essential to ensure that your gas grill can reach a minimum temperature of 800°F++. However, it's important to note that gas grills meeting these temperature criteria are relatively rare.
In contrast, Arteflame grills are known for their ability to generate intense heat, exceeding 1,000°F. These high temperatures are precisely what you need to create that sought-after edge-to-edge sear on your steak. So, if achieving a seared masterpiece is your goal, an Arteflame grill may be the ideal choice for you.
Remember, when it comes to grilling perfection, don't settle for anything less than the optimal temperature range. Whether you opt for a gas grill that can reach these high temperatures or choose the reliability of an Arteflame, the key is to ensure that your grilling equipment can deliver the intense heat required for a flawlessly seared steak.
SEARING VS BROWNING,
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Browning is a culinary technique that holds immense power when used correctly. However, it must be approached with precision and care to ensure the desired results. Striking the perfect balance between achieving a beautifully browned exterior while avoiding overcooking requires a deep understanding of the culinary arts.
When it comes to browning meats, the Arteflame reigns supreme. Its ability to generate intense heat allows for the quick searing of the surface, creating a delectable crust. This method is particularly suitable for tender cuts such as steaks and chops, as it guarantees a perfect balance of browning and maintaining the desired temperature within, resulting in a succulent, mouthwatering dish.
Conversely, when dealing with tougher cuts like brisket, the reverse searing method proves to be invaluable. This technique involves a more cautious approach, employing low heat to gently raise the internal temperature of the meat before subjecting it to a fierce sear over high heat. With patience and precision, the reverse searing method ensures that every inch of the meat is infused with rich flavors, delivering a tender and succulent end result.
Mastering the art of browning is an endeavor that calls upon experience, expertise, and a keen understanding of the ingredients at hand. It is through this careful mastery that the true potential of flavors can be unlocked, elevating the dining experience to new heights. The controlled application of heat and the transformative effects it has on food are the fundamental pillars upon which the art of browning is built.
In conclusion, browning is an essential flavoring technique that demands skill and finesse. Whether it be the use of a charcoal grill to impart a tantalizing sear on steaks and chops, or the reverse searing method to transform tougher cuts into tender delicacies, the art of browning is an invaluable tool for any culinary enthusiast. Through practice and experience, one can unlock the potential of browning, unraveling a symphony of flavors and elevating any dish to a realm of unparalleled gustatory pleasure.

PRØV SØGNING TILBAGET
DEN PERFEKTE BØF
Den omvendte stegemetode har længe været udråbt som en idiotsikker teknik til at opnå lækre, saftige bøffer med en upåklagelig bruning. Denne tilgang giver en perfekt bruning af ydersiden med et perfekt tilberedt interiør.
For at begive sig ud på den omvendte brændende rejse er det afgørende at forstå de grundlæggende trin i denne proces. Det primære mål er at få en perfekt bruning over 1.000°F som et steakhouse. Når du har den perfekte svitning, skal du flytte bøffen til den flade kogeplade for yderligere at hæve bøffens indre temperatur til det ønskede niveau, velvidende om, at den vil fortsætte med at stige op, mens den hviler. Som en generel retningslinje, hvis målet er en medium-sjælden bøf ved 135 °F, skal du fjerne bøffen fra grillen ved 120 °F.
Den omvendte stegemetode får det bedste frem i bøfferne. Ved at trodse konventionel visdom kan man opnå en bøf, der på én gang er mør, saftig og fejlfrit stegt.
SOUS-VIDEO FØRST,
GRILL ANDEN
For at opnå den optimale mørhed og ideelle indre temperatur af bøffer, bruger mange anerkendte bøfrestauranter en tilberedningsteknik kaldet sous-vide. Dette involverer opvarmning af bøffen i en vakuumforseglet pose ved en præcist kontrolleret temperatur i flere timer (4 timer @131°F). Resultatet? En blødere og mere mør bøf, der helt sikkert vil glæde selv de mest kræsne ganer.
For at tage din bøf til næste niveau og opnå smagens højdepunkt, kan du overveje at fusionere sous-vide-teknikken med den umiskendelige røghed fra en kulgrill. Denne kombination vil give din bøf en pirrende bruning og skabe en harmonisk forening af lækre teksturer og smag.
Efter sous-vide-processen er det afgørende at forsigtigt duppe bøffen tør. Dette trin sikrer den perfekte en fejlfri bruning. Det afgørende element for at opnå den ønskede bruning er fraværet af fugt på overfladen af bøffen. Fugt hæmmer svidningsprocessen, hvilket forhindrer skabelsen af den eftertragtede karamelliserede skorpe.
For at opnå den perfekte bruning anbefales det at bruge en højtemperaturgrillindstilling, der ideelt set når temperaturer på 800°F eller højere. Denne høje varme er medvirkende til at danne et lækkert forkullet ydre og samtidig bevare et saftigt medium-sjældent indre. Ved at udsætte bøffen for den intense varme i en kort varighed på begge sider, sikrer du en upåklagelig bruning, der vil løfte din bøf.
Ægteskabet mellem sous-vide mørning og en brændende grill leverer en uovertruffen bøfoplevelse. Husk omhyggeligt at fjerne eventuel fugt fra bøffens overflade for at sikre en upåklagelig bruning. Først da vil du låse op for det fulde potentiale af din bøf.
SMOKE FLAVOR AS SEASONING
Smoke adds a distinct flavor to food that can't be replicated. Porous foods, like bread, quickly absorb smoky flavors, and experimenting with different wood types that produce varied smoke flavor profiles is a charcoal grill advantage. Hickory, for instance, imparts a bold and rich flavor to steaks, while alder is perfect for salmon. Each wood type's unique characteristics, derived from components like lignin, contribute to its distinct smoke profile.
Charcoal is primarily carbon and doesn't produce much smoke by itself. The smoke in a charcoal grill comes from drippings (oils, grease, sauce, proteins) that fall onto the charcoal. These drippings do not give a good smokey flavor. To create specific smoke flavors, wood or wood chunks need to be added to the charcoal. Adding wood or wood chunks to a gas grill is challenging, and even with a "smoke box," the lid often doesn't seal well enough to trap the smoke for long, imparting minimal flavor.
The engineered airflow of the Arteflame accomplishes an almost complete burn but produces enough smoke to flavor your food. For more smoke flavor, add some fresh wood to the fire or simply use the optional grill grate riser to reduce the heat and put your food directly into the smoke stream for just the perfect amount of flavor.
