Chushkopek

Chushkopek (Bulgarian: Чушкопек, literally: pepper-roaster) is a uniquely Bulgarian kitchen appliance for roasting peppers, aubergines or potatoes, generally used in salads.

Chushkopek

A chushkopek is a cylindrical oven with an opening on the top. Long sweet peppers are placed inside, the lid is replaced, and within several minutes the pepper is ready. Due to the appliance's design, the pepper is evenly roasted across all its surface, leaving a blackened skin which is then easily removed.

The chushkopek was voted "Bulgaria's Household Revolution of the 20th Century" in a 2009 campaign by Bulgarian National Television.[1]

Usage

There are several dishes and dips that are prepared from roasted peppers or eggplants.

gollark: I pointed out that sequential numbers were obviously a bad idea, because of, among other things, speed of light delays, and the difficulty of synchronizing the count everywhere, and that UUIDs were better.
gollark: In a philosophy club thing at school, someone was talking about some sort of dystopian world where people were assigned numbers instead of names or something.
gollark: Your osmarksUUID, if you're curious, is `36d29cdb-55dd-4217-b371-67c0d578a639`.
gollark: They are equally real. Your osmarksUUID™ is more realerer.
