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.

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.

LOVE MY EURO

XAVIER R.

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.

正直に言うと、人々が他の調理法よりもグリルを好む主な理由は、それが食べ物に与える無敵の風味です。風味に関して言えば、薪を使ったグリルは別格です。薪焼きグリルが食べ物に与える独特の風味は、他では絶対に再現できません。

Arteflame Food Saver

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.

TEMPERATURE IS THE KEY
TO GREAT STEAKS

素晴らしいステーキへの鍵

肉を完璧に焼き上げるには、ほとんどのガスグリルの限界を理解することが重要です。これらのグリルは確かに食品の表面を「焦げ目」をつけることはできますが、最適な焼き付けに必要な高温に達するのに苦労することがよくあります。

メイラード反応として知られる焦げ目がつくプロセスは、約 350°F で始まります。しかし、本当に最高の結果を得るには、温度が 500°F を超える必要があります。残念ながら、それより低い温度でグリルすると、焦げ目がつくまでに時間がかかりすぎるため、肉の内部が過度に加熱されてしまいます。

焼き付けが単に焦げ目をつけるのと異なる点は、食品の表面を乾燥させてカリカリに仕上げることです。これにより、外側の皮と柔らかい内側の食感のコントラストが生まれます。ステーキハウスでは、食品を華氏 1,000 度で焼き付けます。ステーキハウスのクオリティを求めるなら、ステーキハウスの温度が必要です。

1,000°Fを超える温度に達する

焼き目をつけるには、炭火または薪焼きのグリルが欠かせません。1,000°F を超える温度に達するグリルはほとんどなく、焼き目をつけるのに必要な強烈な熱を供給できます。

高温で焼き上げ、ガスグリルの利便性と手軽さを兼ね備えた多用途のグリルをお探しなら、Arteflame が最適です。この革新的なグリルは、両方の長所を兼ね備え、従来の炭火グリルをも上回るステーキハウスの焼き温度を実現します。

そのため、ほとんどのガスグリルは食品を焦げ目がつくことはできますが、適切な焼き色をつけるのに必要な温度に達するのは困難です。究極の焼き色を求める方には、炭火または薪焼きグリルをお勧めします。

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.

逆焼きを試す
完璧なステーキ

リバース シーリング法は、完璧に焼き目がついた、おいしくてジューシーなステーキを作るための確実な方法として長い間称賛されてきました。この方法では、外側は完璧に焼き目がつき、内側は完璧に調理されたステーキが出来上がります。

リバース シーリングの旅を始めるには、このプロセスの基本的な手順を理解することが重要です。主な目的は、ステーキハウスのように華氏 1,000 度を超える完璧な焼き色をつけることです。完璧な焼き色がついたら、ステーキを平らな調理台に移し、ステーキの内部温度を望ましいレベルまでさらに上げます。休ませている間にも温度は上がり続けることを念頭に置いてください。一般的なガイドラインとして、目標が華氏 135 度のミディアム レアのステーキである場合は、華氏 120 度でステーキをグリルから取り出します。

リバースシーリング法はステーキのおいしさを最大限に引き出します。従来の常識を覆すことで、柔らかく、ジューシーで、完璧に焼き上がったステーキを実現できます。

まず真空調理、
グリルセカンド

ステーキの最高の柔らかさと理想的な内部温度を実現するために、多くの一流ステーキ レストランでは、真空調理と呼ばれる調理法を採用しています。真空パックされたステーキを、正確に温度管理された状態で数時間 (華氏 131 度で 4 時間) 温める調理方法です。その結果、最も舌の肥えた人でも満足できる、より柔らかくて柔らかいステーキが完成します。

ステーキを次のレベルに引き上げ、最高の味に仕上げるには、真空調理法と炭火グリルの独特のスモーキーさを融合させることを検討してください。この組み合わせにより、ステーキに食欲をそそる焼き目がつき、おいしい食感と風味が調和した一品が生まれます。

真空調理後、ステーキを丁寧に乾かすことが重要です。このステップにより、完璧な焼き目が確実につきます。希望通りの焼き目をつけるには、ステーキの表面に水分がないことが非常に重要です。水分があると焼き目がつきにくくなり、憧れのキャラメル風味の皮が作れなくなります。

完璧な焼き目をつけるには、グリルを高温に設定し、理想的には 800°F 以上の温度にすることをお勧めします。この高温は、ジューシーなミディアムレアの内側を維持しながら、外側を美味しく焦がすのに役立ちます。ステーキを両面に短時間強烈な熱にさらすことで、完璧な焼き目がつき、ステーキの味がさらに引き立ちます。

真空調理による柔らかさと焦げ目のない  グリルは、比類のないステーキ体験を提供します。完璧な焼き目を確実にするために、ステーキの表面から水分を注意深く取り除くことを忘れないでください。そうすることで初めて、ステーキの潜在能力を最大限に引き出すことができます。

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.
