Kinda like a Lager/Laager mentality!

 

[Niner]

Yes, the Cape. It always feels weird/'wrong' when I hear Joburg people use the same expression.

Die vleiswinkel, Protea Heights. I always buy their sosaties, yet to be disapointed.

 

[Niner]

Thank you. I found them online as well, was hoping someone would recommend them.

My GF gifted me a 57cm Weber (full model, not compact) for my birthday.

I'm thinking of giving it a spin tomorrow - anything I should be aware of?

Any tips or tactics for best usage?

Thanks,

What you plan on making?

 

[Mortymoose]

A mate of mine brought his Weber around to my house before he "gifted" me on that he had won in a local draw....

The biggest tip he gave me , if you are cooking with the lid on.... don't keep opening it to see how your meat is coming along.... you will feck it up...

.... and as Fanie always pointed out.... work with a thermometer ........ I cannot emphasize this enough...... you will never overcook and dry meat out in the process again....

Were'nt you the oke that introduced us to wireless thermometers?

 

[CamiKaze]

Yeah but give more detail on the thermometer part of things.
I usually cook between 150 and 250 c and do check regularly but... need more info based on what is being prepared.

Will be using my thermo tomorrow, doing a slow smoked Asian style pork roast for lunch. Tonight it's lamb curry (wife is quiet in the kitchen...)
