How to get the best fromyour Weber® Q™ and baby Q™

BarbecuingWhere a recipe in this cooking guiderequires you to 'barbecue', it is recom-mended that you turn the meat only once,halfway through cooking.When you are barbecuing meat on thegrill or on the breakfast plate, it is impor-tant that you pre-heat the barbecuebefore cooking. The instructions for pre-heating the Weber Q™ and the Weber babyQ™ follow.

RoastingUnless otherwise specified, where arecipe in this cooking guide requires youto 'roast', it is recommended that you usethe Weber roasting trivet accessory (largeroasting trivet for Weber Q™ and smallroasting trivet for Weber baby Q™). Usingthis accessory allows air to convect allaround the roast for more even cooking. Italso minimises scorching on the base ofthe roast.To ensure the bottom of the roast is notscorched by the hot grill bars, a sheet offoil is folded to produce a 'heat-shield' ofdouble thickness. (Double thickness cre-ates an air gap between the two layers offoil which assists insulation.) This foil lieson the cooking grill directly below theroasting trivet (see picture next column).When you are roasting meat you must alsopre-heat the barbecue. The instructionsfor pre-heating the Weber Q™ and theWeber baby Q™ follow.

Cooking on the Weber Q™

roasting. Set the gas controlknob to a higher setting onceyou have placed your roastinside. The setting (C) hasproven to be a pretty goodguide. Remember, there is no

need to turn the meat when roasting, so trynot to open the lid unnecessarily. (See alsohelpful hints, right.)

Cooking on the Weber baby Q™

Pre-heating and BarbecuingTo pre-heat your baby Q™,open the lid and turn the burn-er control knob to START/HI(A). Press the red ignition but-ton to light the barbecue.Once alight, allow the gas to runfor 10 minutes with the lidclosed. Your baby Q™ is now pre-heated and ready for barbecu-ing. When you are ready to cookyour food, make sure that youturn the heat setting down (B).

Pre-heating and RoastingTo pre-heat your baby Q™, open the lid

and turn the burner controlknob to START/HI (A). Pressthe red ignition button to lightthe barbecue. Once alight,turn the gas down to LOW (B)and allow the gas to run for 10minutes with the lid closed.Your baby Q™ is now pre-heat-ed and ready for roasting. Youcan now place your meatinside the baby Q™. You willnot need to set the gas control

knob to a higher setting - leave the gas onLOW throughout the roasting process.Remember, there is no need to turn themeat when roasting, so try not to open thelid unnecessarily. (See also helpful hints,below.)

Helpful hints for the WeberQ™ and baby Q™

Always cook with the lid closedNo matter whether you are cooking aroast, a barbecue or breakfast on theplate, always cook with the lid closed.Why? Firstly, cooking with the lid closedcreates natural convection of the airinside the barbecue. This results in moreeven cooking with more natural juicesretained.Secondly, you will achieve outstandingbarbecue flavour that you can’t get bycooking with the lid open. This is pro-duced when flavour-giving barbecuesmoke is convected all around the meat.Thirdly, cooking times are greatly reduced(about half of what you might expect onan open barbecue), which means you canbarbecue the same amount of food in halfthe time.Lastly, it’s far more convenient and eco-nomical. Because less gas is required tocook foods, you don’t need to fill the gasbottle anywhere near as often (a 9kg gasbottle will last for over 40 hours of cook-ing).

Use ‘natural convection’ to get the best results.

Remember, these barbecues rely on natu-ral convection to cook food perfectly. To

assist convection, try not to cover morethan two thirds of the cooking grill at onetime. Whilst they will cook with the wholecooking surface covered, the results arefar better if you barbecue in two or threebatches when feeding a crowd.When roasting, make sure the height ofyour food fits inside with the lid closed. Toallow the air to convect properly youshould use an accessory roasting trivetand make sure you have at least 25mmclearance between your food and the lid.As a guide, a number 13 or 14 chicken, asmall leg of lamb or a part of a fillet ofbeef are all okay.

How often should youturn the meat?

Your Weber Q™ will produce the mostimpressive food when you let the ‘convec-tion process’ do its work with minimuminterruption. For this reason, resist thetemptation to continually turn the food.Each time you turn the food you have toraise the lid, allowing the hot air toescape. When barbecuing meat, outstand-ing results are achieved if you use tongs toturn the meat (once only) half-waythrough the cooking time. Roasts, on theother hand, should never need turning.

Meat thermometerWhen cooking larger cuts of meat orroasts it’s nice to know when the meat iscooked properly. You can do this by insert-ing a meat thermometer into the centreof the meat. Do this at about the time youthink it should be cooked. Just follow thedirections supplied with the thermometerand you will be able to tell when your

meat is cooked to your liking. Gone arethe days when you have to hack into themeat to see if it is cooked.

Using sauces and glazesOnly apply sauces or glazes that have ahigh sugar content during the last 10–15minutes of cooking. If applied too earlythey will spoil the food, because the sugarin the glaze will caramelise and turnblack.

TroubleshootingProblem. Meat tastes stewed and lacksexpected barbecue flavour.Solution. Temperature is not hot enough.Make sure that you pre-heat your barbecueas directed under ‘barbecuing’ on page 1.Always cook all food with the lid closed.

Problem. Food does not cook in the esti-mated cooking time.Solution. Temperature is not hot enough.Make sure that you pre-heat your barbecueas directed under ‘barbecuing’ on page 1.Always cook all food with the lid closed.

Problem. Strong wind blows gas out.Solution. Turn off gas and allow 5 minutesbefore relighting. If possible move yourbarbecue to a position that is protectedfrom the wind. If this is not possible facethe front of your barbecue into the wind,so that the wind cannot blow into the bar-becue through the air-vents on either side.

Problem. The gas will not relight afteryou’ve been cooking.Solution. The barbecue needs to cooldown a bit, so that the gas is not carriedaway from the igniter by heat rising. Turn

off the gas and allow 5 minutes beforerelighting.

Problem. Gas doesn’t travel all the wayaround the burner, therefore, not produc-ing even heating of the grill.Solution. Hole(s) in the burner tube areblocked by something that has fallen fromabove. This can happen if the barbecue isnot sitting on a flat surface. Lift out thecooking grill, and use a paper clip or safe-ty pin to clean out any residue from theburner holes.

Problem. Black residue from the cookinggrill sticks to the meat.Solution. Ensure that the cooking surfaceis clean before you start barbecuing. Aquality grill brush will remove the stub-born residue, while hot water and deter-gent will remove the barbecue grease.

Practise Weber Q™ safety• Follow the instructions in your WeberQ™ or baby Q™ owner’s manual for safelighting and operating your barbecue.• Keep your barbecue at least 60cm fromany combustible materials, including yourhouse, garage, deck railing, etc.• Never use a barbecue indoors – thatincludes a garage or enclosed patio.• Never use a barbecue on a table orstand that wobbles, leans, or is in any wayunstable.• Keep sleeves and garments at a safe dis-tance from the heat.• If for some reason you ever have a fatfire turn off the gas at the bottle andclose the lid then stand away. Never pourwater on a fat fire.• Keep children and pets a safe distance

away from the barbecue when it is hot.• When you’ve finished cooking, turn offthe barbecue at the burner control and atthe gas bottle.• Before you start cooking check andempty any accumulated fat from the alu-minium tray located below the barbecue.

Food Safety• Wash your hands thoroughly with soapand hot water before starting any mealpreparation and after handling freshmeat, fish, or poultry.• Thoroughly defrost foods in the refriger-ator, not on the bench top.• Use a clean spatula or tongs to removefood from the barbecue.• Never place cooked food on the platterthat was used to carry the uncooked foodto the barbecue.• Always cook minced meats until they areat least medium (71°C internal tempera-ture) and poultry until well done (77°C).

Cooking timesIn this cooking guide each recipe has theestimated cooking time included. In addi-tion the last six pages are a general guideto help you with cooking times for othercuts and thicknesses of meat.Barbecuing and roasting times listed inthis guide are approximate. You may haveto allow more time or use more heat oncold or windy days.Try using a timer; you’ll find it reallyhandy. It’ll give you a reminder when yourbarbecue is pre-heated, when your meatneeds turning and when the meat iscooked.
