Great grilling isn’t just about the heat – it’s about knowing how to use the right heat for the right foods. Most grills naturally create different temperature zones, letting you cook multiple foods at once to perfection.
Hight Heat: Perfect for the foods that benefit from a quick, hot sear, like burgers, sausages, steaks, and skewers. These cook best directly over the flame so they can develop that classic grilled crust.
Medium Heat: Works well for veggies like peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. A grill basket helps smaller pieces stay contained while they cook to a perfect al dente.
Upper Racks & Indirect Heat: Ideal for foods that need gentle cooking or a quick toast. Baked potatoes can finish slowly, corn can grill without over-charring, or heat buns, tortillas, and other vessels for your food grilling below.
For larger cuts of meat like large chicken pieces, ribs, or whole fish, start them over direct heat to build flavour, then move them to indirect heat so they can cook through without burning on the outside.
Flat-top griddles are quickly becoming a backyard favourite for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With a large, even cooking surface and precise heat control, you can cook just about anything – all on one outdoor appliance.
Versatility and control make griddles a standout option for outdoor cooking. You can create multiple heat zones across the surface, cook delicate foods without losing them through the grates, and get that perfect sear every time.
Griddles make it easy to juggle full meals at once, without feeling overwhelmed or using multiple pans and dishes. Cook up anything, from juicy smash burgers to golden pancakes or French toast, to bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns – or even fried rice and sautéed veggies.
If you’re looking to mix things up beyond the traditional grill, a griddle brings a whole new way to cook outdoors – fast, fun, and seriously satisfying.
Take your outdoor cooking setup a step further by creating the ultimate outdoor entertaining space. Surround your grill or outdoor kitchen with comfortable conversation and lounge sets, and add a dining set that’s made for sharing meals. Durable outdoor dinnerware and drinkware top up the experience and are made for long nights outside.
Add warmth with a fire table, layer in exterior lighting, décor, planters and pots, and keep essentials close with smart outdoor storage solutions. With a thoughtfully curated setup, your backyard, patio, or balcony becomes the perfect place to gather, unwind and share a delicious meal with loved ones.
