Implementación de un barril de asado para realizar prácticas en el laboratorio de gastronomía de la extensión Pedernales.

Abstract

The objective of this integrative project is to implement a roast barrel in the gastronomy laboratory of the Pedernales extension, with the purpose of strengthening the practical training of students in slow cooking techniques. The lack of adequate equipment limits the learning of traditional and modern barbecue methods, which motivated this proposal. For its development, an analysis was carried out on the importance of the roast barrel in gastronomy, its history and operation. Different models available on the market were investigated, evaluating materials, safety and costs, selecting the most suitable for the academic environment. The methodology used included direct observation, comparative analysis and functional testing after installation of the equipment. The results show that the implementation of this roasting barrel provides students with a practical tool to perfect cooking techniques, improving the quality of their preparations and promoting culinary innovation. In conclusion, it is highlighted that the use of the barrel optimizes the teaching-learning process, promoting the development of essential skills in gastronomy and the efficient use of resources.
