Low and Slow vs Searing Hot Mastering Techniques on a Flamery Grill
Cooking with fire is about technique as much as ingredients. With a Flamery Asado Grill, you can master both low and slow cooking for tenderness and searing hot flames for rich char and flavour. Knowing when to use each approach is the secret to authentic asado.
🕒 1. Low and Slow Cooking Explained
Low and slow cooking is all about patience. By cooking meat gently over embers, fat renders and flavour develops deeply. Recipe idea: Beef short ribs cooked over embers for two hours until juicy and tender.
Best on:ASADO PRO.2.2 Large Trolley Grill or ASADO PRO.1.2 Stand Grill — large surfaces perfect for longer cooks.
🔥 2. The Art of the Sear
Searing hot flames give meat a caramelised crust and smoky flavour. This technique is ideal for cuts that cook quickly. Recipe idea: Ribeye steaks seared directly over flame for two minutes per side, then rested before slicing.
Many asado recipes use both techniques. Start with low and slow to cook through, then finish with a sear to add crust. Recipe idea: Spatchcock chicken marinated in lemon and herbs, cooked over embers until nearly done, then finished with a flame sear for crisp skin.
Fish and vegetables also benefit from both methods. Recipe idea: Tuna steaks seared quickly for flavour while aubergines cook slowly over embers until soft and smoky.
