DIRECT COOKING
THE
AUSTRALIAN
WAY
By using heavy-weight cast-iron
cooking surfaces that are closer
to the heat source, Australian
style barbecues have a more
direct method of cooking. The
cast-iron absorbs the heat,
giving a more even distribution.
This enables the food to be
cooked thoroughly without
excessive charring.
WHAT'S THE HURRY ?
If you’ve owned an American style barbecue before you’ll notice that the Heritage
barbecues do not have the same forceful, roaring flames from their burners.
The heat supply is more balanced to give perfect results. Initially you may feel that
there isn’t sufficient heat, but give it a little more time to cook and you’ll find that
everything is perfectly cooked the ‘Australian’ way.
Also remember that during Spring, Autumn and Winter, or when there’s a stiff
breeze, you should allow more time for cooking.
HEAT DISTRIBUTION
Because of the nature that gas under pressure burns, you may find your Heritage
barbecue cooks slightly hotter at the back of the cooking area. This is because the
gas is under more pressure to escape here than at the front of the burners. It is
perfectly normal, and it can be quite advantageous having a less hot cooking area
where food can be finished off, or kept warm with a more gentle heat.
THE OUTDOOR OVEN
The only time you need to close the lid for the Heritage barbecue is if you are
planning to do baking or roast whole joints of meat and poultry. The lid, with its
temperature gauge will enable you to obtain perfect results through indirect
convection cooking.
