PREPARE FOR A SIZZLING HOT SUMMER
 

At last, the hot days and long nights of summer have arrived. Naturally, with the warmer weather comes the desire to spend more time outside in the evenings, and for that, you need a barbeque!
 

To coincide with the launch of their new summer BBQ range, Goldair has produced the top tips on BBQ maintenance to help Kiwis keep everything in tip-top condition.

Goldair’s Top Tips for BBQ Maintenance

• For a long-lasting exterior, make sure you wash it regularly with hot, soapy water, then rinse clean. 

• If your BBQ is stainless steel, apply a stainless steel BBQ protector to all steel surfaces (it’s a myth that stainless steel never rusts!) For powder-coated BBQs, apply a non-stainless steel BBQ cleaner.

• For plates and grills, start up the BBQ and leave it on with the hood down for 10-15 minutes. When it’s warm, remove excess fat or oils with paper towels or a cotton cloth.

• Periodically remove the plates/grills and wash with hot, soapy water and a sugar soap or degreaser. Rinse and then leave to air dry before replacing.

• Lastly, check the burners after periods of non-use. Portholes on all burners can get blocked from fat/juices/marinades, spider webs and nests – especially after winter. These blockages can reduce gas flow and may result in fires during cooking, so be sure to remove all blocks with a damp cloth.

• Most of all, always be safety conscious and check for holes and potential gas leaks around hoses & bottles prior to use. 

It is important to keep your BBQ well looked after to prolong its lifespan. Barbeques can be so versatile, but if you’re stuck for inspiration as to what to cook, Goldair has that covered too. 

Every Goldair BBQ purchased this summer comes with a BBQ cookbook – full of healthy recipes and tips on how to make the most out of your BBQ, so you’ll never have trouble deciding what’s for dinner again!

Having a barbie is a great excuse to have your mates round (and keep the mess outside!), it means you don’t get stuck cooking indoors on a beautiful summer evening – and it’s a perfect way to cook quick and easy summer meals.

Get ready to fire up your Goldair burners, and prepare for tasty, summer living. Too easy.
