Nothing compares to the irresistible sizzling smoke flavor and tantalizing crunch on the grill. But this method isn’t just for those with outdoor areas and high-tech grills. You can also use a skillet in your apartment or flat to extract incredibly deep and complex flavors from humble ingredients. A perforated metal pan can absorb a lot of heat, leaving burnt spots and a toasty taste.
“There is evidence that our ancestors ate food that contained ingredients cooked directly over a fire,” local chef Bijuu Thomas told Outside. “Most home cooks tend to avoid this technique for fear of burning food, but it can be a fantastic way to create layered flavors.”
The most common ingredients for barbecue are meat and vegetables. Some of the best pan-cooking proteins are sirloin steak, pork chops, salmon and tuna steak. Recommended vegetables: zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms, onions and eggplant. “Using a skillet at home is a great way to add flavor when toasting foods like roasted peaches, toast, or charred peppers,” Thomas says.
Lightweight and durable, this pan has 62 perforations that allow the flame to directly touch the food.
With a foldable handle and a weight of less than a pound, this portable pan is the one you’ll need on your camping trip.
