Product information
For the South African Braai Master, we present the Flambadou, your key to unlocking a new dimension of flavor and artistry in your barbecue adventures.
WHAT IS A FLAMBADOU?
It's a mild steel cone with a large opening at the top and a small one at the bottom attached to a long metal handle which is designed to heat until red hot to ignite and melt fat quickly.
Reportedly from the Middle Ages, flambadous were historically used to sear joints of meat, but are comparatively rare now. It's also a traditional French technique for basting meat with fat as it cooks over the coals.
HOW TO USE A FLAMBADOU?
The cone should be placed directly into the hottest of embers or coals of the fire until it's glowing red hot. Then pork lard or beef tallow can be placed into the cone and when the fat bursts into flames, renders and drips out of the bottom of the cone while still on fire, make sure it drips onto your food of choice!
