Knowing the difference between direct and indirect cooking is the foundation of successful vegetarian BBQ. With KOM charcoal, you can master both techniques.

In direct cooking, vegetables are placed directly over the charcoal. This is ideal for quick cooking of zucchini, pepper strips, asparagus or mushrooms.

KOM charcoal provides powerful direct heat that quickly sears vegetables and creates delicious grill marks and caramelization.

Indirect Cooking

In indirect cooking, vegetables are placed to the side of the charcoal, not directly over it. This is like oven roasting.

This method is perfect for large and dense vegetables that need longer cooking - whole potatoes, beets, whole cauliflower heads. KOM charcoal burns stably for hours.

Combining Techniques

Professionals often combine both techniques. They start with indirect cooking to soften potatoes inside, then finish with direct searing for crispy skin.

With quality KOM charcoal from pure hardwood, you have flexibility to use any technique for perfect vegetables. No chemicals, just natural aroma.
