Grill Menu 3: Digital Special No. 8 with menus from the BBQ Pros
Dear Readers,
Outdoor kitchens are becoming increasingly popular. The classic grill station is now often supplemented by a cooking hob, a refrigerator, wok burners, plancha, and spacious furniture for storing grilling utensils, crockery, and provisions. This creates a fully equipped cooking landscape in the garden or on the terrace that should be on par with the usual indoor kitchen. The desire for convenience, short distances, and a well-organized workspace is thus consistently shifting from indoors to outdoors. This new comfort makes it possible to prepare popular kitchen
recipes directly outdoors without constantly having to commute between the kitchen and the terrace. The outdoor kitchen is thus becoming more and more an all-day living area where family life takes place – from a cozy breakfast to a relaxed afternoon coffee to a multi-course dinner with friends: everything is
possible.
The FIRE&FOOD grill menus in these specials offer a wealth of inspiration to treat family and guests to great grilling pleasure. The menus are carefully compiled recipe sequences from FIRE&FOOD issues of recent years, which can be found under the heading "FIRE&FOOD's Grill Menu" in each issue. Here, experienced grill masters present their favorite recipes as a complete menu – from creative appetizers to sophisticated main courses and harmonious desserts. This creates diverse combinations with which both grilling novices and experienced grillers can venture into new ideas.
A clear trend can also be observed in the equipment of grills. The plancha is becoming increasingly popular and has already established itself as a fixed component in many outdoor kitchens. On the hot iron plates, there are significantly more possibilities for preparing grilled dishes than is often the case on a classic grill grate – whether fine vegetables, seafood, burgers, fried eggs, or pancakes. In addition, grease fires are not possible on the plancha, and the grill can be cleaned particularly easily after grilling. Almost all grill manufacturers have therefore included a plancha in their accessory range in recent years, allowing existing grills to be retrofitted. Furthermore, standalone devices specifically developed for plancha grilling have recently been added by some brands, opening up new culinary possibilities.
Try them out – grilling pleasure is guaranteed.
Always plenty of embers under the grate wishes you
