Description
Turkish kebab grilling is a traditional cooking technique where thinly sliced meat is grilled over an open flame to achieve a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
Technical
Turkish kebab grilling involves direct heat from an open flame, typically between 500-700°C (932-1292°F), to achieve a Maillard reaction and caramelization on the surface of the meat, while the interior remains juicy and tender. This reaction breaks down the proteins and browns the meat, resulting in a crispy exterior and a flavorful interior.
