Description
The Turkish kebabçı (kebab maker) tradition represents a specific professional practice in which the quality of the fire, the fat content of the meat, and the timing of each skewer are managed simultaneously. Dağdeviren's documentation of kebab techniques across Turkey reveals regional specificity: the charcoal of certain woods (olive, oak, beech) producing distinct aromatic profiles; the distance from the grill surface to the charcoal affecting the cooking rate; the moment of fat drip on the coals producing smoke that flavours the meat at the critical final seconds.
