Essential for beginner coffee roasting: fishing net roasting

My first time to bake beans was in a pan, and I accumulated more than 20 times of experience. although I turned the beans very quickly, because I couldn't cover the pot, the heat gathering effect was not very good, and the beans were unevenly heated, and the appearance was not ideal. I have been thinking hard to solve the problem. One day I saw a kind of fishing net in the hardware store and thought that if the two branches could be merged and covered with aluminum foil one by one, it should be useful to improve the heat accumulation problem. At present, I bought two to go home to build a "fishing net roaster".

Second, to build a net-type roaster, I will first remove the plastic handle of the net, incidentally, this kind of net, some of which are very fine metal nets, and the silver skin is not easy to lose when baking, so we should buy a thicker one with a mesh of about 0.15 cm indirectly.

Fill one with about 150g raw beans, then the two fishing nets are fastened with thin wire (or copper wire).

Cover the outside of one by one fishing net with aluminum foil paper cage and try to keep the aluminum foil paper close to it so as not to lose it halfway through the baking. In fact, you can also fold several layers of aluminum foil between the mesh and the outer layer of aluminum foil, the thermal insulation effect is better.

Finally, tie the cloth to the handle department to prevent hot hands.

The "net type bean dryer" has been preliminarily completed in preparation for baking beans.

Then prepare cassette gas stoves, electric fans, metal trays, small chairs, it is best to move them all outside, so as not to lose the silver skin all over the ground.

Third, start baking beans

Baked beans will go through several processes such as dehydration, first explosion, second explosion and so on, with a total process of about 15 to 40 minutes. In accordance with the characteristics of raw beans and personal happiness, it is not necessary to bake the complete counting process. If you like to clear the mouth and stomach, you can stop it halfway or after the first explosion, while the strong one can enter the second explosion, or even continue for a period of time before dropping the beans. If you bake well at the beginning of the exam, you may be scorched because of poor firepower control, or you may be overcautious and last more than 30 or 40 minutes. After I have accumulated several baking experiences, it is ideal to try to serve the old millet within 10-15 minutes.

I am extremely inattentive and often do two things at once, and it is the same when baking coffee beans. I like to talk about small jokes and stories to pass the time, and I also think about things at work. I often inspire good ideas, which can be regarded as the extra harvest of baked beans DIY. Here's how I baked it once.

The raw beans and utensils are well prepared, turn on the gas stove and reduce the heat, and the bottom of the net roaster is connected with the army. At first, the roaster swings up and down with a range of about 20 centimeters, shaking up and down every 5 times, so that the coffee beans in the net are heated evenly.

The glittering red beans are produced in Lingnan, and the leaves and branches should grow in spring.

Modern people often associate coffee with love and romance, so I wrote a limerick:

Curry beans are raw in the tropics. Save money to buy a few jin.

The sweet smell gradually adds a shallow burning smell, and it is probably about to enter the stage of explosion, because without the assistance of a thermometer, it is impossible to control the promotion of temperature, the opportunity of the explosion is unpredictable, the heart is inevitably impatient, and the shaking speed in the hand accelerates unconsciously. the sound of a crash, as if beans were crying and crying, suddenly remembered Cao Zhi's seven-step poem:

Boiled beans burn a bean pan, beans cry in the pot

I was born on the same root, so why should I be in such a hurry?

I have another limerick:

Baked beans burn gas, beans jump in the net

After 2-3 points, plus a lot of firepower, the department's silver skin disappeared out of the net like dandruff, which is dehydration at this stage. If you flip the roaster over, you can see that the color of raw beans changes to yellowish brown. At the same time, there is a very light sweet smell coming out, and the smell is getting stronger and stronger, which is really a good dream, and only people who bake beans have a chance to smell it, which is the first encouragement to the baker. The fragrant sweetness always reminds me of the romance of passionate love. My predecessors gave each other red beans (Acacia beans) to express their feelings, as evidenced by poems:

Gather them till full is your hand; They would receive fond memories.

When will it explode? I'm in a bit of a hurry!

Finally heard the sound of "peeling", an explosion began! the sound of "peeling" gradually concentrated, and there was a very light white smoke in the bean dryer, which lasted for about a minute or two. If it is required to clear the mouth and stomach, baking can be curbed from the beginning to the end. If the fire continues to bake, it will enter the second explosion. Unless you are satisfied with reducing your firepower, it will take only a few minutes from the end of the first explosion to the second explosion, which can be said to be a fairly fluent process. Shiyun:

With monkeys' sad adieus the riverbanks are loud; My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away.

My state of mind is:

After the first explosion, there will be a temporary break, and the firepower will not be reduced until the second explosion.

Soon, the sound of "split, split" came, much less than the sound of the first explosion, and the second burst began. The second explosion usually accompanies a large amount of smoke, at this time I will reduce the firepower, or raise the roaster to avoid overheating and scorch the beans. The second explosion lasted about two minutes, and if it goes on baking, it will be a heavy baking.

Net baking

Because the metal net line of fishing net heats up very quickly after being heated, if you don't expect to scald the beans easily, so shaking is not an obstacle, and it is best to pay attention to the heating parts that often change, as long as you pay attention to this style, the beans baked in the net style are much more average than those baked in a pan.

When the baking reaches the required heat, it's time to drop the beans. The action of dropping beans should be fast, and the aim is to cool down quickly so as to avoid spraying fragrance and leisure. When baking beans in the net, as long as the aluminum foil is removed and blown directly in front of the fan, the net is not hot after about two minutes, and the product beans can be poured into the iron plate to continue to dissipate heat by loosening the wire and cloth on the iron tray. what a pleasant sound it is when the beans roll into the plate. After tens of minutes of hard work, there is finally a harvest! The lute line describes the melodious piano, so "the chirping sound is staggered with each other, and the big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate". At this time, I am "rattling the beans, the big curry falling on the iron plate"!

Burning eyebrows to see if the beans are unevenly heated? Take one or two? If you bite open your teeth, can you see if there is no external coke and endogenesis? Then chew the beans in the import, accompany the saliva, close your eyes and feel the taste of infected beans.

Baked and tasted carefully, this thing is more Acacia.

When the beans reach room temperature, they can be enjoyed or preserved. Should they be tasted or not? That is the theme of this spit and discussion.

IV. Conclusion

The investment of the net roaster is extremely low, so it is a good choice for beginners to explore the scale of baked beans; regardless of whether baking can enrich the benefits implied by each bean, at least it is one of the convenient ways to enjoy novel coffee beans. But the truth? In the end, there are a lot of changes in the baking process because it is difficult to grasp, but it is actually much simpler than the formal bean roaster. Of course, you can operate the thermometer to control the temperature and improve it, and the effect may be limited. So if you want to enter the secret of baking beans, buying a machine is the right way.
