Jealous Devil ONYX Binchotan Charcoal - 20lb

I recently had the opportunity to experience grilling with Onyx Binchotan Charcoal by Jealous Devil, and it's safe to say that my culinary world has been forever transformed. Having never used binchotan charcoal before due to its rarity and usually exorbitant price, I was intrigued and excited to try it out. My first encounter involved searing ribeye steaks and scallops, and the results were nothing short of astonishing. One of the most remarkable qualities of Onyx Binchotan Charcoal is its ability to burn incredibly hot and clean. With temperatures soaring over 1,200°F, this charcoal offers a level of heat that is unmatched. The searing it provided was unparalleled, creating a beautiful crust on my food while keeping it moist and succulent inside. I was also thrilled to discover that Onyx charcoal can be extinguished with water, relit, and reused without any compromise in structure or performance, making it not only an exceptional performer but also an eco-friendly choice. Additionally, Onyx Binchotan Charcoal is the only charcoal on the market that produces far-infrared heat, a unique characteristic that seals in juices, enhances flavors, and creates textures that are simply impossible to achieve with standard lump or briquette charcoals. What truly sets Onyx apart is its ability to burn without smoke or flames, providing an unparalleled level of culinary control and delivering a surreal grilling experience. While I didn't have the chance to reuse the charcoal on my first try, I'm eagerly looking forward to experimenting further and discovering the full potential of this remarkable product.
