Brilio.net - Charcoal is still often used in the cooking process that uses a stove even though there are many modern tools such as gas stoves and even induction stoves. For example, Javanese noodle sellers in Jogja, quite a few still use charcoal stoves in cooking. It is said that this makes the aroma of the food more fragrant, evenly cooked, and makes us throw us into nostalgia of the past. In addition, everywhere people grill satay, still use charcoal too, right? Especially like Eid al-Adha yesterday, you who grilled satay, must have looked for or bought charcoal, right?
Well, have you ever had trouble lighting a fire on charcoal? If you have trouble and it takes a long time to light a fire, you can copy the trick from the Facebook account Ceker,layap mercon.otak" n sausage mercon, (Goat Lovers). He uses a piece of tissue and used cooking oil (jelantah).
How to light a fire on charcoal using tissue and used cooking oilQuoted from BrilioFood's Facebook Ceker, mercon wings, brains and mercon sausages, (Goat Lovers), Wednesday (11/6), first, he balled up (squeezed) the tissue, then dipped half of it into cooking oil.

The account owner then placed the tissue (which was covered in cooking oil) on top of the charcoal (slightly tucked between the charcoal so that it stood upright). Then he lit the dry top tissue with a match.

When the fire burns the tissue to the part that is exposed to cooking oil, immediately place other pieces of charcoal around the edge of the tissue. Continue to slowly pile up more charcoal until it covers the burning tissue. Eventually all the charcoal in the stove/container will burn.

The method from the Ceker account, mercon wings, brains and mercon sausages, (Goat Lovers) can be said to be easy even though other netizens say it takes too long.
According to Salman Alfarez's Facebook account, "Too long...put the charcoal on a wire mesh and then grill it on the stove. When it's lit, put it in the burner and the fans will light it up..."
However, the Facebook account Salman Alfarez also agreed that the method shared by the Ceker,layam mercon,otak" n sausage mercon, (Goat Lovers) account was more suitable for burning coconut shell charcoal.
if its coconut shells, thats the technique, look for a coconut shell thats like a bowl so it can hold the oil, if possible, the oil will sting your eyes if it gets wet. Give some tissue, light it, then stack the shells on the fire, God willing, it will light up quickly because I work at a Padang restaurant so everything has to be fast
Well, Brilio Friends, now you know the trick, right? Ready to try it yourself?
