When we first moved to Japan, I was leery of using gas stoves because the heat is super hot and fast...now I love it because it is super hot and fast...
Anyway, I have never used "the drawer" that is in my stove because I have seen horror stories on tv on how hard it is to clean up afterwards.
Since I've never used it, I have never cleaned it...so it is a dust drawer.
Incentive for me to try using this, yeah?!
But will definitely look for the instructions on how to use "the drawer" because I think by using gas, the skin of the fish will crisp up better (and probably cook faster too!).
that sounds so convenient to have a special drawer for cooking fish (no need to turn on the oven for something small), but yes, I imagine that it must be a bother to clean up.
ReplyDeleteVery, very cool!!!
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me that it is sannma season! I remember eating the largest sannma I ever saw in Shin Osaka. I usually avoid them here because they are usually much smaller and has so many little bones. Since this one was so huge, the bones were easy to take out, and it was delicious!
ReplyDeleteI see fish roasters, like a toaster oven, for sale here in the Asian stores and always wondered about them. Never thought they would be practical since we usually cook filets, not whole fish.

I miss sanma ! It is so good grilled in " the drawer " ! It does grill it fast and the skin is so crisp ! I think you should try it . Who cares it if takes a bit longer to clean , good food is worth the extra time .
ReplyDeletewill look for the instructions on how to use the drawer Rowena, because the clean up from using the oven was probably about the same as cleaning the drawer would be.
ReplyDeleteindeed Jalna!
I hope you get to eat some when you visit V!
Okay you sold me Jo, am gonna look for the instructions and try cooking sanma (or some other type of fish in there).
Take care everyone!
