Outdoor cooking makes for delicious food, many agree.
"But where has the real outdoors gone in outdoor cooking?" I hear this question from more and more people. Because outdoor cooking is so much more than just good food, right? 5 reasons why fire is making a comeback in outdoor cooking:
1. Cosiness
Together with your friends or family around a crackling fire and simultaneously preparing a meal above it. Two activities that individually guarantee coziness, but as a combination provide the most beautiful conversations.
2. Heat
A fire outside provides wonderful warmth, summer and winter. This way you can enjoy the evenings much longer. If you can also prepare your food above that same fire, you are completely covered. Optimal use of heat!
3. Authentic taste
By barbecuing over a wood-fired fire in which you experiment with different types of wood, you will notice that you can give different flavors to the food. Vary between oak and fruit wood (for example apple wood) and discover the authentic flavors that you cannot obtain in any other way. Do use clean and dry wood for a clean fire!
4. Experience
Outdoor cooking over a real fire is an experience “Back to basics” in your own backyard or beach or camping or [fill in yourself], to prepare the most delicious meals with minimal resources. A transparent process for you and your guests in which you play with and use the fire. You are completely connected to nature again. An unforgettable experience for both the chef and the guest.
5. Rest
Cooking over a fire requires attention, and that attention brings peace. It starts with lighting the fire. Looking for small firewood to start the fire. And playing with the fire to make it burn optimally, and then dreaming away at the crackling flames and the wonderful smell. The pace is slowed down and you focus on the simple, but meaningful, activities. That's how you feel more balanced and relaxed , which in turn can have a positive effect on your mental health.
I can talk for hours about the benefits of cooking over a fire. We even built our brand around it! You can do it in a hole in the ground, put 4 rocks around it, put a grill on it and start barbecuing. I would be lying if I said I didn't like doing this.
However, I would like to introduce you to our brand: BASALE. is the name. What we offer is "Back to basic in a luxurious jacket". Because yes, back to basic is super fun, but working with quality also. That is why we have developed a collection of high-quality products that real outdoor cooking bring back to every garden!
