Chesneys Outdoor Cooking
Eating a mouth-watering meal in the garden with friends and family is our idea of bliss. Quite apart from companionship and recreation, outdoor cooking means healthy eating. Most restaurants and bistros have realised the benefits of outdoor dining and have set up a patio or deck to lure diners. But why eat out at a restaurant when you can hone your masterchef skills at home enjoying all the comforts and luxuries you could possibly want? Look no further than the Chesney’s Heat range of outdoor kitchens if you want to take your garden entertainment to a sizzling new level.
One of the great challenges of outdoor entertainment is of course the weather. Even midsummer it could become quite nippy. Chesney’s Heat & Grill to the rescue! Combining the tried and tested technology of their clean burn heating stoves to the outstanding features of a Chesney’s wood-burning BBQ, they came up with a dual-function outdoor grill that keeps you warm on cooler days and stretches your summer quite a bit. If you regularly entertain larger groups, then the Chesney’s Garden Party is your heater/barbecue of choice, giving you all the great features of the Heat & Grill, but in superlative size for up to 15 people.
Outdoor cooking is most often associated with BBQ’s and the very word gets the taste buds going, but outdoor cooking can be an all-round experience, from a simple hotdog to a five-course gourmet meal. Both the Chesney’s powerful dual-function heater/barbecues are incredibly versatile and let you cook in any imaginable cooking style because the heat can be controlled perfectly and with quick and easy adjustments, you have several cooking appliances built into one. Explore some of the delicious, healthy eating options with your Chesney’s and enjoy your meals in front of the companionable smoke-free heater with friends and family:
Burning away most of the unhealthy fatty oils, calories are reduced without losing any of the nutritional value of riboflavin and thiamine contained in meat. When searing meat there is a chemical reaction between amino acids and sugars that creates the lovely brown pigments and which gives the food its distinctive flavour. Grilling fish, seafood or fresh vegetables is also a great variation on normal home cooking. What is more, it is quick to grill an entire meal. The Chesney’s wood-burning Heat & Grill and Chesney’s Garden Party can be brought up to 300 °C within ten minutes and a sizzling 600 °C within 20 minutes. By closing the fully insulated lid, kamado-style grilling of succulent steaks over indirect heat is just as easy.
With one quick rotation, you can switch your Chesney’s Heat & Grill or Garden Party to roasting mode to capture the flavour in a joint of beef, chicken or duck without any fat or oil and without the need to open the lid to turn the food. If you prefer spit-roasting, then simply insert the rotisserie.
Add the smoker to impart a unique flavour of wood or charcoal to your meat, fish, and poultry. Because smoking kills natural toxins, pathogens and parasites smoked food is better preserved and can be stored for longer too. Smoked fish in particular is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and smoked meat has a high iron content.
Nothing beats a sizzling stir-fry over direct or indirect heat to enjoy tender-crisp vegetables high in nutrients with little or no oil. The curved shape of the wok changes the way the vegetables, meat, fish or seafood is cooked. It is much healthier than cooking in a frying pan and the food retains a lot more of the nutrients. The fat content is low to start with and it is a lot easier to drain off the excess oil and different heating zones can be created along the bottom and sides of the WOK, which is one of the many exciting accessories you can add to your Chesney’s BBQ.
One of the healthiest ways to eat is by adding a Chesney’s steamer and cooking with the lid closed. Using gentle heat, steam does not burn or scorch food and retains all the vitamins, minerals, moisture and juices, with great texture, flavour and colour. An added benefit for those with high blood pressure is that one also uses a lot less salt when steaming food.
Change the grid and close the perfectly sealing lid to turn your Chesney’s Heat & Grill or Garden party into an oven to bake the best freshly made bread you can ever taste, experimenting with different recipes. Don’t forget all the other lovely dishes you can make in your Chesney’s oven: fish fillets, seekha chicken, pork belly, pasta, fritters and a host of tarts, biscuits, scones and puddings.
Put a Chesney’s pizza-stone on the grill and create a masterpiece in minutes. Not only is homemade pizza feel-good food, it is also healthy. With an infinite variety of toppings, the average slice of pizza offers a balanced meal that is high in protein, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.
Arguably the best part? After cooking, the Chesney’s Heat & Grill and Garden Party will self-clean if put into heating mode and can then simply be brushed out and the ashtray removed and emptied.
