I already know how to barbecue.
Why should I read this book?
Your Weber GENESIS is different to other
barbecues you may have used before. This
booklet will show you how to master Weber’s
direct and indirect cooking methods, so you can
cook incredible food you may never have thought
possible on a barbecue.
We’ll show you how your GENESIS works and
you’ll find some suggested methods and recipes
to get you started.
We encourage you to get to know your new
GENESIS, master the Weber cooking methods
and then start experimenting! Try different foods
and cooking styles. Take your favourite tried-
and-tested recipes and try cooking them on your
GENESIS. Even better, add your own flavours to
make them your own.
Above all, have fun discovering the magic of
outdoor cooking and entertaining on a Weber
barbecue.
Why should I barbecue with the lid down?
Your Weber GENESIS has been specifically
designed to be used with its lid down. Over the last
70 years, Weber has perfected lid down cooking to
create incredible flavours and memorable meals.
Whether you’re barbecuing or roasting, by
cooking with the lid down you'll create an amazing
barbecue flavour that you just can’t get by cooking
with the lid open. This comes from the barbecue
smoke that is trapped inside the lid. It circulates
around your food, giving it a wonderful flavour.
With the lid down, the heat produced by the
burners circulates evenly around your food. That
means you can use your barbecue to produce
amazing outdoor roasts, pizzas and desserts. But
even when you’re grilling things like steak, chops
or sausages, cooking with the lid down results in
beautifully seared, evenly cooked food with more
natural juices retained.
Finally, the GENESIS will save you time, gas and
money. Instead of wasting gas on producing heat
that escapes straight into the atmosphere, your
barbecue is finely tuned to be as efficient as
possible, but still easily powerful enough to sear
restaurant quality steaks, chops, sausages and
chicken.
