It’s always exciting for the team at Comcater when we get to add a new brand to our inventory.
It allows us to expand the different services we can provide to clients, and just as importantly it supplies end consumers with better food and more opportunities to experience something a little bit unique. When it comes to unique pieces of commercial cooking equipment, there aren’t many brands that can compete with the newest member of the Comcater family – charcoal ovens by Mibrasa.
All about Mibrasa
Invented, designed and built in Spain, Mibrasa charcoal ovens, (or closed charcoal grills) are built to satisfy even the most demanding chef. Mibrasa ovens allow commercial kitchens to capture the smokey essence of a food preparation style that dates back to the dawn of human culinary invention. Right off the bat this is incredibly useful, as traditional barbecuing isn’t that well suited to large groups of diners. The Mibrasa oven takes everything that we all know and love about cooking with charcoal and makes it easier and more efficient.
From the moment that you first see a MIBRASA charcoal oven, you know it’s going to be capable of some pretty outstanding results.
Just as importantly, Mibrasa ovens also provide far more control over the cooking process, which is essential for ensuring high quality across every portion that comes out of the kitchen. This control is achieved via precise direction of air flow, which in turn affects how the charcoal embers burn. Adjusting the air flow into the chamber is as simple as opening or closing the ash pan, while air flowing out can be controlled by the damper.
Finally, Mibrasa units are also stylish, visually impressive and immensely versatile – all key ingredients for equipment used by a large venue or at a big event. Let’s explore some of these benefits in more detail.
Make a statement
From the moment that you first see a Mibrasa charcoal oven, you know it’s going to be capable of some pretty outstanding results. With a choice of black, red or inox steel finishes, the ovens are as gorgeous as they are powerful, and can comfortably form the centrepiece of any commercial kitchen. For events where the kitchen will be on display (as is becoming increasingly popular), a Mibrasa oven is sure to draw the attention of your customers and get their mouths watering as they start to wonder what delectable dishes will come from within.
Check out the video below to see an example of this from the Fine Food Australia 2016 event. Even experienced chefs found themselves drawn to the charcoal ovens, and Mibrasa’s launch was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the show.
The units are also ideal for large events that are held outdoors and away from traditional cooking environments. The ovens are easily portable, and can be moved to unique locations to give your customers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. We all know the joy of crowding round a barbecue while something tasty cooks inside, and the MIBRASA charcoal oven takes this to a whole new level with greater control, but the same classic flavour.
High output
In scenarios with large groups – either at a venue or an off-site location – it’s critical to have enough output to keep everybody satisfied without making any sacrifices in terms of quality. This is an arena where Mibrasa excels, with the construction of the oven providing a mix of grilling and traditional baking. This means that processes such as broiling can be completed in a much faster timeframe, while the chamber design allows for two grilling racks to be used at once – doubling your output if required.
Seafood and meats are a couple of the outstanding areas where MIBRASA excels.
An oven that can produce high volumes of food also needs to be able to stand up to the heavy wear and tear that can come along with it, and Mibrasa’s manufacturing methods mean that each oven is more than robust enough to handle whatever is required of it. The materials used are of the very highest quality, and the design also means that little maintenance is required outside of basic cleaning. This lets chefs focus on the important business of using their Mibrasa to prepare great food.
Versatility
Another aspect of catering to a large crowd is having enough food options to satisfy all available tastes and dietary requirements. The versatility of the Mibrasa range makes the charcoal ovens perfect for tackling all sorts of menus. Seafood and meats are a couple of the outstanding areas where Mibrasa excels, but you’d be surprised to see just how many different dishes can be prepped in these units.
In fact, check out the video below to see one of the stranger recipes cooked in a MIBRASA – chocolate-filled toast with orange grilled sauce.
