BBQ With Shichirin Teppanyaki & Hibachi Ceramic Charcoal Grill

The Shichirin is a traditional Japanese charcoal grill that’s compact, portable, and versatile. It’s designed for grilling and cooking various types of food, from meats and vegetables to seafood.

The unique design of the Shichirin allows for high-temperature grilling, making it ideal for achieving a delicious sear and maintaining the natural flavors of the ingredients. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a Shichirin for BBQ:

**1. ** Setting Up the Shichirin: a. Place the Shichirin on a stable, non-flammable surface, preferably outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. b. Make sure the Shichirin is clean and free of any debris from previous use.
**2. ** Choosing Charcoal: a. Use high-quality, natural lump charcoal or charcoal briquettes. b. Arrange the charcoal inside the Shichirin, filling it to your desired level.
**3. ** Lighting the Charcoal: a. Create a well in the center of the charcoal and place a few pieces of newspaper or a charcoal starter cube. b. Light the newspaper or starter cube to ignite the charcoal. Allow the charcoal to burn until it’s covered with white ash.
**4. ** Adjusting Air Vents: a. Control the airflow by adjusting the vents on the Shichirin to regulate the temperature. Opening the vents increases oxygen flow, raising the temperature, while closing them decreases the temperature.
**5. ** Preparing the Food: a. Season your choice of meat, vegetables, or seafood with your preferred marinade, spices, or seasoning. b. Skewer the food or place it directly on the grill grates of the Shichirin.
**6. ** Grilling: a. Place the food on the grill grates once the charcoal is ready. b. Grill the food, turning it occasionally to achieve an even sear and desired level of doneness.
**7. ** Monitoring and Adjusting: a. Keep an eye on the food to prevent burning or overcooking. Adjust the height of the grill grates if possible to control the cooking temperature. b. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat for doneness.
**8. ** Serving: a. Once the food is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. b. Serve the grilled food with your favorite sauces, condiments, or side dishes.
**9. ** Cleaning: a. Allow the Shichirin to cool completely. b. Dispose of the charcoal ash safely and clean the grill grates and interior.
Enjoy the unique and delicious flavors achieved through grilling with a Shichirin!
