The snake method is a genius technique for long-duration low-temperature cooking, ideal for roasting whole vegetables like eggplants, peppers or potatoes. With quality KOM charcoal, you can cook for hours.
What is the Snake Method
This is a technique where you arrange unlit charcoal in a snake shape around the perimeter of the grill. You light only one end and the charcoal gradually ignites one after another.
How to Set Up the Snake
Arrange KOM charcoal in two rows around the edge of the grill, leaving the center empty. Light 5-6 pieces of charcoal and place them at the beginning of the snake. Add some wood chips for light aroma.
KOM charcoal is ideal for this method because it burns slowly and evenly. One snake of KOM charcoal provides stable temperature of 110-130°C.
What the Method is Suitable For
The snake method is perfect for slow roasting whole vegetables until completely tender. Long cooking at low temperature makes them incredibly tender and sweet.
With KOM charcoal from pure hardwood, you get not only stable temperature but also rich natural aroma without chemicals.
