Category:Special Equipment for Angolan Cooking

From Recipes Wiki, the recipe book anyone can contribute to!

The Angolan cooking does not require any special equipment. However, a stew pan is essential. You will also need storage containers for the condiments and a large sauce pot. Even if the Angolan food is so diverse, the cooking methods and equipment are basic ones. If you decide to cook a dish from the Angolan cuisine, the main challenge will be finding the right ingredients. You can use as cooking equipment the dishes you normally use. However, there are some rare and exotic recipes that belong to the tribal cuisine and which need some special equipment to prepare. Of course, you can use your normal cooking tools, but the taste just wouldn’t be the same. Some of them are the traditional mud oven used to cook bread, the three cooking stones (set to form a triangle) used to bake bread or cakes and the kerosene stove, which has the main advantage that it cooks the food very fast, but it releases a strong odour. A traditional cooking tool is the charcoal burner. The charcoal is placed on top of a grill and a pot is then placed on top. There are holes on the plate for letting the ash fall into the lower compartment. The charcoal is lit by placing papers and sticks in the lower compartment. Once the fire has lighted, the small door in the lower compartment is closed. This kind of cooking stove is preferred because it doesn't produce constant smoke like the cooking stones.
