In
days gone by, cooking over an open fire could be taken
for granted. Today, everyone is worried about air
quality, fire hazards, and a bunch of other things that
probably will never matter. The freedom to experience
cooking oven an open fire is a modern day blessing in a
freezer pack deep fried world.
A
clean burning hot wood based fire produces flavors you
just cannot achieve on a gas stove or in an electric
oven. Flavor rich dried oak, pecan, and hickory woods
provide amazing tastes not soon to be forgotten. Asado
cooking involves constantly moving embers from the
firebox in the center of the center of the parrilla out
towards the under side of the grilling areas. Not many
tools are used. Cel Dor Asado has a couple of custom
made rakes for moving embers about, and some tongs and
tines for moving and turning meats and vegetables.
An
asado is like the hearth in a living room, a gathering
place for people. An asado is like a campfire brought
indoors with a tremendous grill. The Latin name for
hearth is ‘focus’. Imagine that! Truly, the asado, our
hearth is the focus of your dining experience at Cel Dor
Asado.
