The Brazilian Grill Ring 100 Ø is a must-have accessory for those who want to recreate the authentic Brazilian-style grilling experience. Its unique design, with notches for skewers, allows for more controlled and flavourful cooking, ideal for meats, vegetables and other foods that benefit from the direct, enveloping heat of the fire. Here’s a closer look at each aspect of the product and a care guide, as well as a recipe for enjoying this cooking technique.
Notching System for Skewer Placement
This ring features precise notches evenly distributed around its circumference to hold skewers in an upright position. This design allows the skewers to cook evenly as they are rotated or repositioned. Vertical positioning allows the heat from the fire to reach all surfaces of the meat directly, resulting in more even cooking than traditional methods. In addition, the fat rendered from the meat falls directly into the fire, generating smoke that adds a natural smoky flavour.
Brazilian Style Slow Cooking
Brazilian style grilling, or churrasco, is characterised by its slow and controlled cooking. This ring allows you to recreate this experience with your own roasts. Slow cooking is key to preserving the natural juices of the meat, preventing them from drying out. The result is meat that is tender on the inside, with a crispy, golden brown crust on the outside. This technique can be used for different types of meat such as beef, lamb, pork or even chicken, all of which benefit from prolonged exposure to fire.
Tough Black Steel
The ring is made of black steel, a robust and high temperature resistant material that ensures long-lasting durability. This type of steel is ideal for use in grills, as it resists wear and tear from heat and contact with fatty foods. Its solid structure allows it to maintain its shape and functionality after repeated use. In addition, black steel is known for its ability to retain heat, which helps to maintain a constant temperature during cooking.
Optimum dimensions and weight
At 49 cm in diameter and 1.2 cm thick, this ring is the perfect size to handle multiple skewers at the same time, maximising space on the grill. Its 5.5 kg weight keeps it stable on the grill, even when loaded with heavy food. This allows you to grill without worrying about the ring shifting or wobbling, ensuring safe and even cooking.
Care and Maintenance of the Brazilian Grill Ring
Keeping the Brazilian Grill Ring in good condition is essential to prolonging its useful life and ensuring that it continues to perform optimally. Below, we explain the basic steps for caring for it:
1. Cleaning after each use:
Once you have finished cooking, allow the ring to cool completely before handling it. Use a sponge or soft brush to remove food and grease residue. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the black steel.
2. Wash with water and mild soap:
Wash the ring with warm water and mild soap. Do not immerse it in water for long periods of time, as this may accelerate the appearance of rust. Be sure to thoroughly wash the notches where the skewers are placed, as food debris tends to accumulate in these areas.
3. Thorough drying:
Black steel can rust if left damp, so it is essential to dry it thoroughly after washing. Use a clean, dry cloth to remove any moisture.
4. Applying a coat of oil:
To protect the ring from corrosion, apply a thin coat of vegetable or cooking oil to the entire surface before storing it. This will create a protective barrier against rust.
5. Store in a dry place:
Store the ring in a dry place away from moisture. If possible, wrap it in a pouch or towel to protect it from dust and exposure to air, which will also help prevent rust.
Recipe for Chicken Skewers with Chimichurri Sauce
Chicken is a meat that absorbs the flavours of seasonings and marinades well, so chimichurri enhances its flavours perfectly. This recipe can also be easily modified by using other cuts of meat such as chicken thighs or even combining it with pieces of chorizo for an extra touch of flavour.
With the
100 Ø Brazilian Grill Ring, you will achieve perfect cooking that will leave the chicken golden brown and juicy, making every bite delicious and aromatic.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 1 red pepper, cut into large pieces
- 1 green pepper, cut into large pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into thick slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chimichurri sauce (store-bought or homemade)
For the Chimichurri (optional if you decide to make it at home):
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
- 100 ml of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the chimichurri (if homemade):
In a small bowl, mix the parsley, garlic, oregano and crushed red pepper. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar and lemon juice. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let stand so that the flavours blend while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- Prepare the chicken:
Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized cubes (about 3-4 cm). Place them in a large bowl and add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and marinate for 15-20 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavour.
- Assemble the skewers:
Thread the chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red pepper, green pepper and slices of red onion. This combination of vegetables adds colour and a delicious grilled flavour, complementing the juiciness of the chicken.
- Cook on the Brazilian ring:
Place the skewers in the notches of the Brazilian grill ring, making sure they are securely fastened and separated for even cooking. Grill over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally so that they brown evenly. The chicken should be cooked through, with a golden exterior and a juicy interior.
- Brush with chimichurri:
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the skewers with homemade (or shop-bought) chimichurri, allowing it to caramelise slightly on the chicken and vegetables, adding a herbaceous and citrus flavour.
- Serve:
Remove the skewers from the ring once they are cooked. Serve with an extra portion of chimichurri for dipping and accompany with a fresh salad or garlic bread.
