I already know how to barbecue.
Why should I read this book?
Your Weber Spirit is different to other barbecues
you may have used before. This book 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 Spirit works and you’ll
find some suggested methods and recipes to get
you started, but remember – barbecuing and
outdoor cooking on a Weber should be an amazing
journey!
We encourage you to get to know your new
Spirit, 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
Spirit. 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.
If you have any questions, or just want to talk
about your ideas or recipes, we’d love to hear
from you at Weber customer service.
Why should I barbecue with the lid down?
This is one of the greatest things about your
new Weber Spirit. It’s actually been specifically
designed to be used with the lid down. Over
the last 60 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 will 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 under the lid. It circulates
around your food, giving it a wonderful barbecue
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 barbecuing 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 Spirit 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.
We’d like to introduce you to your new Weber
