re: Binchotan Charcoal

Posted by butters stotch on 2/15/24 at 8:23 pm
It’s a high heat charcoal that puts out little flame and smoke. If you are using it for small items, you can close vents on the grill and suffocate it, and use it again. No idea where to find it in BR, but Coutelier in Nola usually has a few types. It’s not cheap for the real stuff...

Absolutely. Gelatin is derived from collagen, and while it provides no depth of flavor like a long simmered stock, it is a great cheat to get desired consistency. I would definitely use gelatin before I would use a corn starch slurry, or mess with my flour to oil ratio in the roux. ...
In addition to quantity of roux, I find most home cooks use boxed stock. A gelatinous home made stock, like most decent restaurants use, is the true difference in texture. ...
