The humble ‘barbie’ has come a long way. These days, home cooked, lip smacking al fresco food is an exact science. Take a look at the modern gas barbeque and you’ll see what we mean: smart, ergonomic design, self contained trolley units and sleek metal lines. If gas barbeques were cars, we’d all be driving a Jaguar!
Gas barbeques are leading the way; they’re easier than ever to use, easier to maintain and clean; all of which means they’re easier than ever to fall in love with. Feel the heat for yourself with a gas barbeque and you’ll never so much as look at a charcoal barbeque ever again!
When you fire up your gas barbeque for the first time, you’ll be cooking within minutes. With gas. Quite literally. No fuss, no waiting, no rumbling stomachs; just instant, controllable heat. Feather light heat control too; take it high and take it low, gas gives you the best of both worlds.
Appliances vary from the smallest portable BBQ, through two, three and four burner models to full sized family appliances. (Don’t for a minute think that the barbeque is the exclusive preserve of the great outdoors.) Barbequed food tastes so good, it brings out the full flavour of the ingredients and it uses a lot less fat; so why not make use of it all year round. Gas powered kitchen barbeques give a genuine alternative to conventional cookers, grills and microwaves. They come in sleek, seamless stainless steel and they’ll probably transform your culinary life forever!
But back in the garden, we’re truly spoilt for choice. Appliances, features and finishes may vary, but you can reckon on an ample cooking area, ranging from 400 square inches upto a massive 922 square inches; all suitable for family sized feasts. Cast iron burners give your food an even, all over, flamed finish and authentic barbeque taste.
Control the intensity of the flame with a flame tamer or lava rock; they’ll prevent ‘flare ups’ and absorb excess fat too. While the lava rock has been de rigueur for many years, many enthusiasts are now turning their affections to the flame tamer. The metal flame tamer, which sits between the gas and the grill, catches the juices as they drain from your food, but instead of letting them just drain away, or worse, drip onto hot coals and smoke out the neighbours, the heat causes instant evaporation. The juices are then absorbed back into the meat for extra tender, extra succulent food every time. The secret of mouth watering steaks will be yours to cherish – and pass onto your children!
There is a dizzying array of models for you to choose from. From portable style summer barbeque sets through to deluxe lifetime investments with rotisserie fittings, self cleaning sear plates and 56,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) capacity. Your barbeque will be prepared to perfection; just like your steaks. Stainless steel, chrome and real wood surfaces, all-in-one housings and trolley units, tool racks, chopping boards, roasting lids and more. You’ll have the best equipped barbie in town.
Models bolt together in moments, so you’ll be ready to cook within minutes. Of course you’ll probably want to invest some serious time in choosing your perfect appliance; but then again… If you get a sudden hankering for a home cooked steak; you can afford to give in to your culinary urges. Gas barbeques are so well priced, it could be the best impulse buy you’ll ever make.
Get into gas and your barbeques will sizzle. Guaranteed. No charcoal, no mess, no worries! Now you’re cooking!
