Top Tips for Having the
Perfect Aussie BBQ

When the sun is shining down, the temperature is balmy, and the beers are cold, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t enjoy a good BBQ. The “Great Aussie Barbie” is known to be Australia’s #1 social activity. In the backyard of every Australian home, friends and family would gather for an appetizing meal.

Here’s what you need to know about having the perfect Aussie BBQ: 

Invest in a high-quality barbeque grill

First things first, don’t go cheap when choosing a barbeque grill. While choosing from so many different options can be overwhelming, it’s important to know how often you’ll use it, the space you have in your backyard, or if you plan on moving to another location for the BBQ.

The Birko Toaster Grill Quartz is our top pick. This features a fingertip control for European energy regulator, dual control for twin element or upper element heat, and a timer function. With its galvanised steel base, Quartz elements, and stainless steel construction, you can rely on this for quality and value.

Heat it up first

The goal is for the meat to sizzle as soon as you place it on the barbie. The key to having the perfect BBQ is to be patient. Make sure that your hot plate is decently hot. Your taste buds will thank you for this later! While you’re waiting, you can prepare the table. Don’t forget a good pack of Kleenex towels and disposable plastic cups.

Do not cook cold meat

Stemming from the previous point, be patient and do not cook cold meat. Always bring your meat back to room temperature before whacking them on the barbie.

Cook the perfect BBQ with the right accessories

The best thing about the barbie is that you can cook almost anything on it. Have the right accessories with you to ensure you’re equipped for the job. Aside from a good spatula and a trusted tong, one of our favourites would be a mini-desk fan to keep you cool while you enjoy the outdoors.

Let it rest

Once the meat is cooked, let it rest. Why not have a quick game of playing cards while waiting? Despite protests from hungry people, wait a few more minutes before serving.

Finally, treat your barbie like it’s your best mate! Make sure to tend to it before leaving. While the grill is still warm, give it a quick brush to remove any debris.
