Braseros barbecue outdoor

About braseros

The brasero is an original Spanish outdoor cooking appliance, popular in Europe and Latin America. It combines the advantages of a steel plate (plancha) and a fireplace to heat with wood or charcoal (barbecue). This type of brasero with plancha plate allows you to cook a wide variety of food in optimal conditions, while enjoying an outdoor experience.

How does a brasero work?

A outdoor brasero works by heating a metal plate with a wood or charcoal fire under the cooking surface. To use it, simply light the brasero by placing the fuel in the central bowl under the plate.

Food can be cooked directly on the brasero plate for even and quick cooking, or on the center grid for an authentic barbecue taste. This brasero type is ideal for meat, vegetables, and even seafood, combining the speed of a plancha and the smoky taste of a brasero barbecue.

What are the advantages of a brasero?

A brasero offers incomparable versatility: you can alternate between plancha cooking to sear your food quickly, and grilling for a barbecue effect. Plus, with its large cooking surface, it allows you to prepare multiple foods simultaneously, whether for a large family or outdoor gatherings.

By opting for a brasero barbecue, you benefit from an easy-to-maintain appliance. Its steel plate is designed to withstand high temperatures without warping, and is easy to clean with a simple scraper and damp cloth. Many models have removable plates to simplify cleaning.

How do I choose the right brasero for my needs?

When choosing a brasero with a plancha plate, several criteria must be considered. First of all, the size: a large brasero is recommended if you cook for several people. Also think about the capacity of the heating bowl, especially if you plan to use wood.

Some models include built-in storage units to make it easier to organize your utensils and firewood, or even surfaces to prepare your dishes before cooking.

What are the recommended materials for a brasero?

The plate material is essential to ensure optimal cooking. The best braseros are made of ground steel, ensuring even heat distribution and a rapid rise in temperature. These materials also withstand repeated high temperatures without deforming, extending your braseros life.

How to maintain a brasero?

The maintenance of an outdoor brasero with plancha plate is simple but essential to guarantee its longevity. After each use, clean the plate on hot by pouring cold water or ice cubes, then scrape off the residue with a spatula. To prevent rust, oil the plate when clean.

Store your brasero in a dry place, or use a protective cover. Brasero sales and promotions are also good times to acquire protective covers and accessories at reduced prices.

How do you store and protect it when not in use?

To extend your braseros life, store it in a dry, covered place. Before storing it, be sure to clean the plate to prevent food residue and apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to prevent rusting.
