Brilio.net - If you have quite a lot of meat stock, processing it into satay could be the right choice. Satay is one of the processed meats that is suitable to be eaten when gathering with your closest relatives. You can even eat it straight or with additional rice to make it fuller.
So, one of the important things to pay attention to when grilling satay is to provide a charcoal grill. When the charcoal is lit, it will produce hot smoke, thus making the satay cooked. The use of charcoal also gives the grilled satay a delicious aroma, you know.
Unfortunately, many people often have difficulty lighting charcoal. It does require special techniques so that the charcoal can burn stably. Usually a number of people will light it with fire, which is then ventilated using a fan. However, there are also those who use a stove to light charcoal.
Even though you know what? Actually, there are other methods that you can use when you want to light charcoal. The method shared by TikTok user @willireysa tends to be faster and more energy efficient. You don't even need a stove or fan to make the charcoal light.
The perfect solution for grilling satay when you're stuck.
However, please note that there are kitchen ingredients that must be prepared first to apply this method. Well, the kitchen ingredient in question is cooking oil. Reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (19/6), TikTok user @willireysa admitted to using used cooking oil. However, if you don't have any, you can use whatever cooking oil you have at home.
Apart from cooking oil, the tools that must be prepared are matches and tissue. To use it, just take a few sheets of tissue. After that, knead until the tissue forms a concave lump in the middle.

If so, place a tissue on the grill. Only then pour cooking oil into the middle of the tissue. Make sure the oil doesn't spill, okay? After that, arrange the charcoal so that it covers all sides of the tissue. Don't forget to leave a gap at the top to light the fire.

Next, let it sit until the fire spreads. You can blow on it occasionally to make the fire bigger. After that, let it sit for 15-20 minutes so that the fire spreads by itself and makes the charcoal ignite. If the charcoal is already lit, you can immediately use it to grill the satay.
