Barbecues: six of the best
Barbecues: six of the best
Standard barbecues are great for impromptu entertaining but if most of your summer evenings are spent dining outdoors, you might want to consider investing in a larger model. Before you buy, here's our need-to-know guide to barbecue lingo...
A gas powered outdoor cooker fires up in an instant and has precise temperature control to ensure thoroughly cooked, tasty and moist food.
Rotisseries are ideal for spit-roasting joints of meat, chickens or any recipes that need indirect heat. Some models come with a rear-mounted infrared burner for higher heat.
Multiple burners give cooking flexibility - from sear burners that provide extra heat to lock in the juices and produce defined grill lines to side burners that come in handy for pan frying.
Flavouriser bars protect the burners from dripping juices and burn off grease and drips.
Storage is something that bigger models offer. Expect plenty of cupboard space for all the essential tools and kit. ‘Folding shelves make bigger barbecues easy to store in the garage when the summer is over', says Susan Laffey, Garden Furniture and Barbecues Buyer, B&Q.
With our six shortlisted appliances, you can create an outdoor kitchen area in your garden for use all year round...
Best for budget
This barbecue has three burners with electronic ignition, a pop-out prep table and lots of useful storage space. The grills, flavouriser bars and drip trays can fit in the dishwasher.
