Split & Mix - Multi-level cooking and deflectors

The term "professional stainless steel" refers to high-quality stainless steel designed to withstand heavy use, particularly in kitchens, restaurants, or industrial environments. Professional stainless steel is an alloy of iron, carbon, chromium (≥10.5%), and sometimes nickel or molybdenum. These elements make the metal resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, and easy to maintain. It does not rust or deform and retains a perfectly smooth and hygienic surface.

304L stainless steel is often considered one of the best choices for barbecue accessories due to several key characteristics that make it particularly suitable for this purpose.

The Split & Mix accessory is a kamado barbecue accessory that allows you to cook on multiple levels inside the kamado. It's possible to vary the cooking methods, switching between direct and indirect heat.

The glazed ceramic stone offers several advantages for kamado cooking. Here are some of the main benefits: Even heat distribution: The glazed ceramic ensures even heat distribution, which helps cook food uniformly. This reduces the risk of hot spots and guarantees more precise cooking. Heat retention: The ceramic stone has excellent heat retention, which helps maintain a stable temperature inside the kamado. This is especially useful for long cooking times, such as roasts or pizzas.

The QUATROM cooking accessory set includes 5 separate pieces: - 304L stainless steel half-moon grill (x2 pcs) - Black glazed ceramic deflector (x1 pc) - 304L stainless steel support (x1 pc)

The two ceramic half-moons act as deflectors in the QUATRO Large 21" kamado barbecue. The heat deflectors included as standard with the Large 21" multi-level kamado accessory are of the highest quality: - Thickness: 20mm - Glazed ceramic These deflectors are made of ceramic and are essential for indirect cooking and smoking: They act as a shield to limit the heat dissipated from the flames to the food. They divert the heat towards the edges of the stone: heat convection, which allows for indirect cooking and smoking. They help maintain a regulated and low temperature (limiting excessive temperature increases) for "low and slow" cooking methods.

Made from 304L (18/8) stainless steel, the SPLIT & MIX is crafted from a premium alloy, making it extremely heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and food-safe. 304L stainless steel (or A2 stainless steel) is commonly referred to as food-grade stainless steel. Why choose 304L stainless steel? 304L stainless steel offers numerous advantages for kitchen use, making it a preferred choice among catering professionals. 1. Corrosion resistance: It does not rust and remains intact even in the presence of moisture and acidity. 2. Food flavor preservation: It does not react with food, thus preserving its taste and quality. 3. Durability and reliability: It is robust and resistant to impacts and temperature variations. 4. No toxic emissions: It is safe for health, releasing no harmful substances into food. 5. Easy to maintain: It is easily cleaned with soap and water and requires no special anti-corrosion treatment.

This system offers great flexibility for cooking multiple foods simultaneously, each at its ideal temperature, while maximizing the use of the QUATRO kamado's interior space. Here are the key elements of this Split & Mix system and its advantages: - Modular stainless steel racks: These allow you to stack multiple cooking levels. You can cook food at different heights, enabling you to alternate between direct and indirect cooking without constantly moving or adjusting the food. - Half-moon deflectors: These are used to create indirect heat zones. They can be placed on the bottom of the kamado, under the racks, to distribute heat evenly and gently, ideal for slow cooking or keeping food warm without burning it. - The stainless steel star: This adjustable rack support allows you to change the height of the racks to suit the needs of each cooking method. This makes it easy to switch between direct and indirect heat depending on the type of food you are preparing.
