Weber Kettle Comparison - Original Kettle, Original Kettle Premium & Master Touch

Image
Hi, I'm Chef Tony Matassa. Today we're checking out these three weber kettles, and although they look fairly similar, they have some different features. So we'll take a closer look at that because we get a lot of questions on that and hopefully we can answer those. To my far right we have Weber's original kettle, this is the original premium, and of course to my left we have weber's master touch kettle. We'll begin with the original.... Which is available in 18 inches as well as 22 inch models. The exterior of the kettle is Porcelain enameled steel, allowing the grill to resist corrosion, and the two exterior handles are glass reinforced nylon, wich is also perfect for resisting the elements. For temperature control, the lid features a no rust aluminum vent, allowing you to create the perfect environment from searing to smoking.

Best Indoor BBQ Electric Tabletop Grill

Image
This is the best indoor electric grill because it allows you to cook many kinds of meat, fish, and sandwiches unattended! It makes even a novice chef a grill master! It does this by sensing the thickness of the food being cooked and adjusting the cooking times accordingly. Thanks to intelligent auto-sensing technology, this tabletop barbecue precisely cooks food to a desired doneness. It has six settings for perfectly cooking red meat, poultry, fish, sausage, pork and burgers. It automatically detects the item's thickness and adjusts cooking time accordingly. Temperature sensors indicate with a colored light and beep when food has reached rare, medium, or well-done levels. This means that chefs do not have to hover over the heat to ensure their burgers are juicy and their turkey cutlets are cooked through. A manual setting gives chefs full control of the process, while a defrost option quickly thaws frozen items. The nonstick grill plates are angled to drain away excess fat, and bo...

Hi my name's Russell and I'm the owner of Riverside Garden Centre, we stock the biggest range of Weber barbecues and tools. Weber have now brought out their new range of Weber Q barbecues they're very similar to last year, just more stylish unlike me which is getting older. They've brought out the Weber Q1400 bbq which is the electric, and it is the only electric that which they do which is perfect for those balconies in London, because most flats in London are restricted on gas they're not allowed to have gas on the balconies only electric so this is where we sell a lot of these.

How to Choose the Best Gas Grill?

Image
Today were going to take a very close look at some of the most important things to consider when trying to decide which gas grill is right for you. Now the odds are, you are going to have this grill for a really long time, so it's important to look into these things. Let's get started! One of the first things I like to find out is, how much grill they want.. size wise. At first, people generally try to answer this question with how much food they cook. So they only need a two burner, because it's only a husband and wife, and thats all they are ever cooking for is them and two kids so it's no big deal. But you should also try to keep in mind, the more burners you have.. the more versatility in cooking you have. By that I mean..if you have a nice wide grill, even if you are only cooking for a couple people, if you want to cook indirectly..Possibly smoke on your gas grill, you'll need more space for that. So also keep those kind of things in mind when looking at the nu...

These flame tamers are a perfect mix of the durability of stainless steel, and the heat distribution that comes from ceramic briquettes. They cover the whole area over the burners, meaning they will catch drippings and turn them into smoke, leading to great fire grilled flavor. For easy cleaning, simply flip the tray over, and allow them to burn off. Beneath...
