As Summer sets in across Australia, we eagerly dust off our backyard kitchens to share quality time with families, friends and loved ones savouring fresh Australian meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables and perhaps a slice of pavlova.
"The barbeque is the centrepiece of the Australian backyard, where we come together to create and cherish our most significant memories with friends, family and those close to our hearts. This Christmas, we anticipate a record number of Australians will be firing up their barbies for the Aussie Christmas," Mike Ainsworth, General Manager at Barbeques Galore, proudly stated.
Here are four easy-to-follow tips to have a successful grilling season:
Find the right barbeque:
At the heart of any backyard barbeque gathering lies the barbeque itself. Compact barbeques, such as the innovative Ziggy Elite, offer remarkable versatility in cooking, portability and are suitable for both spacious and compact outdoor spaces, balconies, caravans and camping trips!
Cook to temperature, not time:
There's plenty of misguided advice out there on how to cook the perfect steak, but the truth is, it's surprisingly simple. Disregard any preconceived notions and cook it according to the desired temperature. If you want to ensure your steak or chicken turns out perfect this Summer and throughout the holiday season, consider picking up a Better Steak Guaranteed digital thermometer from Barbeques Galore. It's a reliable tool that will help you master not only your steak but also your Christmas ham and turkey and any dish you prepare!
Smokers can deliver some real wow factor:
To truly impress and add that 'wow' factor to your barbeque, consider using smokers, solid fuel barbeques and pizza ovens, they not only put on a great show but also seriously enhance the flavours of your dishes. What was once considered difficult and time-consuming has now become remarkably simple thanks to new technologies! Cooking with solid fuels such as charcoal, wood and pellets can take the flavour of your dishes to new levels.
There's nothing wrong with the humble sausage:
It's okay to keep it simple! Sausages are a staple at Aussie barbeques for a reason. They're quick to cook, full of flavour and incredibly versatile. Elevate your sausage game by experimenting with different types, from classic beef to gourmet flavours like lamb and rosemary or pork and fennel. Serve them in fresh bread rolls with your favourite condiments and you'll have a hit on your hand.
