The first warm days invite a different rhythm. Terrace doors stay open, drinks move outdoors and the
grill becomes the centre of the evening. Before the first gathering, a little preparation will help your
equipment perform at its best.
- Begin with a thorough clean.
Even a well-covered grill deserves attention after winter. Remove the cooking grates, inspect the
burners and empty the grease tray. On our REALES BBQ appliances, the relevant removable
components can be taken out without tools and cleaned in the dishwasher, making a thorough clean a
straightforward task. - Check your fuel supply.
A partly filled gas cylinder may not see you through the first long evening. With a DUOGRILL Empire
equipped with a Bluetooth gas scale, the remaining gas supply is easy to check. Otherwise, now is the
moment to arrange a refill. If you cook over charcoal, make sure your supply is ready too. - Refresh your outdoor kitchen.
Check seals, worktops and drawers. Weather-resistant REALES BBQ stainless steel components can be
refreshed with a damp cloth and suitable stainless steel care products. - Prepare the essentials.
Check your meat thermometer, sharpen your knives and replenish smoking wood. Having everything
ready makes the first gathering feel effortless. - Plan an opening menu.
Our choice for the first evening of the season: rib-eye from the REYBEEF, spare ribs on the IMPERIAL
and grilled pointed cabbage alongside. Find the recipes in our recipe collection.
Make this your season.
