Weber SPIRIT E330 CLASSIC GBS LP GB/IE

Looking out of the window as I write this, barbequing is the furthest thing from my mind (and, I imagine everyone else’s right now!). However, planning ahead for those lovely summer months gives us that little bit of light at the end of the tunnel that is the winter months and so, we’re going to tempt you with this lovely gas barbecue from Weber…

The main cooking area is a decent size, rocking in at 424 square inches (2,735 square cm’s) with an additional rack set above for resting cooked food. There are two main burners on either side and then, the bit I quite like, you have a searing area where you can whack the temperature up quite significantly to get those nice chargrilled marks on your food that just make it look better! To be fair, it adds a nice little level of flavour too, not going to say no to a bit of searing… The grates themselves are good old cast iron (tried and true when it comes to cooking on a barbecue) and porcelain-enamelled, giving them some longevity and making them much easier to clean up afterwards. The searing part is nestled between the two main heat sources and is a simple matter of switching on when needed – it can even help to get the grates warmed up quicker when you start cooking.

There is an additional burner on the left-hand wing that is perfect for preparing things in a pan such as boiling some veg or heating sauces, crisping bacon for the burgers or whatever else you would normally do in the kitchen so it’s a great way to keep the cooking all in one place. The right-hand wing is a plain surface for dishing up or for resting cooking tools in use with the addition of hooks for your cooking instruments to be stored when not in use. RRP £829
