7 - COOKING EXPERIENCE
Once you have ignited your barbecue, it's time to start grilling! It is good
practice to pre-heat your grill for a few minutes before you start placing
food on it. Similarly, to when you cook in a pan or in an oven, it helps
you to reach an appropriate grilling temperature and prevents food from
sticking, ensuring a crisp, brown crust.

7.1 Endless cooking possibilities
Did you know that some foods are better suited for various barbecue
grilling surfaces?
Grids are better suited for grilling fatty meats such as sausages and steak,
as well as skin on poultry. As the heat transfers directly from the flame to
the food, grid cooking generally uses higher temperatures on the surface.
The cast iron absorbs and intensifies the heat, browning or burning at
the point of contact. These are the grill marks we love on our steaks and
sausages. Further the food does not fry in its own grease.
Griddles/Planchas on the other hand are better for more delicate grilled
foods, such as fish, seafood, vegetables, fruits or diced foods. Griddles/
Plancha transfer heat consistently from the entire cast iron surface to the
food, cooking and browning evenly. The flames never touch the food,
which also means food is not subject to flare ups or charring which is
much healthier. You can also use your Griddle/Plancha to cook runny or
battery foods, such as eggs or pancakes.
Since different foods take different lengths of time to cook, the barbecue
is also equipped with a warming rack. It is a smaller second grid that is
positioned above the main grill and is primarily used to keep food that has
already been cooked hot, without exposing it with as much heat as on the
grid. This allows slower-cooking food to catch up. The warming rack can
also be used as an additional grilling surface when using the barbecue like
an oven for indirect cooking, for dishes such as stuffed tomatoes, baked
potatoes or breads.
Thanks to all the different cooking surfaces available on the barbecue, it is
possible to make an infinite number of recipes.

7.3 Lid open or closed? Direct and Indirect cooking
For searing the perfect steak, using the Campingaz
plancha, it is best to leave the lid of the barbecue open. By doing so, heat
is transferred by "direct" contact between food and a hot grid, griddle or
plancha. However, the barbecue can also be used like an oven when the
lid is closed. In this case, heat is transferred by "indirect" contact between
food and the hot air that is circulated inside the lid. Campingaz's
Roaster, warming racks or rotisserie are perfect for indirect cooking but
the favorite usage is probably to cook a pizza on the barbecue. Use the

an open fire. But how to keep food juicy without sacrificing that delicious
crunch?

the crispy barbecued crust.
Similarly, to how the most soft and crusty loaves of bread are made, the
Blue Flame power system keeps your grilled food juicy and crispy, whether
you are searing or roasting. Simply ensure you fill the water drawers to the
required level before use.
7.5 Healthier, safer and more enjoyable cooking with
significantly less flare ups by design
The new Blue Flame power system by Campingaz
heating, optimal heat distribution and significantly less flare ups by design.
Flare-ups can be dangerous as they can quickly get out of control and
need to be extinguished in unique way. Further, the yellow flames seen
during grilling actually ruin the food that is being cooked by having a
negative impact on the taste. Moreover, blackened areas on charred and
grilled flesh foods are a source of carcinogenic chemicals.
The new shaped burner cleverly distributes flames under the entire grilling
surface offering a perfectly even heat distribution. The burner protection
is integrated into the cast iron grids removing the burner protection layer
below the cooking surface. Hot grease and juices are thereby prevented
from collecting and causing dangerous flames in the fire box. Water from

7.6 No more scrubbing!
Integrated in your Series barbecues, the clever and effortless Campingaz
InstaClean Aqua technology harnesses the power of water to ensure
cleaning is as simple as possible.
Water is filled into the front-loading grease drawers, preventing all residual
grease and food waste, from baking into the material. Similarly, the small
amount of resulting evaporation during your grilling session, also works
as a grease repellent, preventing grease and grime from burning into the
firebox materials. When it's time to clean, thanks to this clever system, you
can remove the greasy grill parts and simply wash them off. No scrubbing
required!
The waste water in the grease drawer can simply be drained by removing
a plug. Premium and Onyx models come fitted with a waste water
container including a removable filter to separate dense grease, making
