Apart from water, sun and heat, summer is also characterised by barbecues. According to the results of the survey, up to 2/3 of Slovaks most often grill bacon or sausage. Well-done bacon and sausage is definitely a great choice for the grill. However, the spectrum of dishes you can prepare in the grill is much larger. The options for food you can prepare expand in direct proportion to the type of grill you have available.

Depending on the type of heating, we could divide grills into charcoal grills (with/without cover), gas grills and electric grills. The biggest classics for lovers of "real" barbecue are charcoal grills. Grills with a cover and heat control give you the widest range of uses.
Cooking on charcoal adds a unique flavour to your food. Did you know that the type of wood used can also affect the taste of the food? For example, while oak adds a smoky flavour to food and is more suited to red meat, beech wood enhances the flavour of meat and is suitable for all types of meat.
The key to a successful barbecue on the fire is to heat the charcoal well. Don't use chemicals to light the charcoal, you'll be preparing food there after all. Nowadays there are electric lighters that heat the charcoal to barbecue temperature in 60 seconds. Once the coals are lit, don't cover the grill immediately, wait until most of the coals are glowing, then spread them evenly. On a sufficiently hot grill, the meat will sizzle on contact with the grate.
If you have a multifunctional grill, you can safely say that it will replace your entire kitchen and do even more. You can grill meat, vegetables or seafood, roast meat, make steaks, cook stews, make soup, stew fish, bake pizzas, bread, cakes and even smoke in multifunctional grills.
What is the versatility and versatilityof a quality grill?
It allows grilling at high temperatures
Whether you're grilling steaks, chops, burgers or seafood, a quality grill will give your food a tasty crust. High-temperature grilling of steaks or even frying of food is made possible by high-quality grills. Not only do they save you time, but they also give your steaks and dishes an exceptional taste. You won't want to go to a restaurant for steak anymore.
Handles slow smoking at low temperature
The insulating ceramic of a well-chosen grill allows precise temperature control even at low temperatures. With a good grill, you can grill for up to 16 hours and that's with just one single fill of the charcoal tray.
Fully replaces the kitchen oven
The right complete outdoor cooking system can bake bread, pizzas, cakes and desserts. Charcoal adds a specific flavour. Cakes, bread or pizza will have an endlessly crispy crust thanks to this type of baking.

What about maintenance?
Quality cast iron grills don't burn food, so they're easy to maintain with a whisk, a dish sponge and a dish detergent. If you use kitchen utensils for food preparation, you will usually use less than if you prepare food in the kitchen. Cooking in one pot or pan takes on a new dimension. Since everything takes place outdoors, the kitchen remains maintenance-free.
