SIZZLE YOUR MIND WITH SIZZLING DISHES

Sizzling is a word which means “very hot” when you looked it up on the dictionary. With this meaning, there are two interpretations of sizzling when it comes to food. Me and my friend had a mini debate on what a sizzling dish really is. We tried different restaurants and got their best-selling sizzling dish and see what we got.

Sizzling is usually associated with sisig. But to be honest, anything can be a sizzling dish if you’d make it to.

What me and my friend found out is that in a sizzling dish, either the food is super spicy with a lot of chilies or the food is served on a sizzling plate while sizzling. Most of the time, sizzling dishes are super spicy dishes served on a sizzling platter. In the end, no debate needed, right?

How is a sizzling platter different from other serving plates? Serving plates are usually made of different materials like glass, porcelain or ceramic. They are created beautifully as using them adds to the overall presentation of the food.

Meanwhile, a sizzling plate/platter is made up of cast iron with a wooden plate underneath. The concept of using sizzling plates is to contain the heat of the food until it reaches the customer or the person to eat it. In this way, the final cooking of the food is finished right in front of the person! Now I understand why most sizzling plates crack a raw egg on top and then the egg cooks as the plate cools down.
