BBQ at home

Lat Sunday was a sunny day and we had my sister and her family over to our home for BBQ. We tried out our new electric BBQ hotplate which to us was good enough for a small group of 4-6 people. We had on the barbie my favorite porterhouse steaks, some nicely trimmed lamb cutlets, some mackeral fish, corn cobs and a freshly baked Vienna bread ...................

To cook the porterhouse it's real simple, just put them on the grill with some rosemary and sprinkle some sea salt on both sides of the meat. Same with the cutlets. For the fish I just added sea salt and lemon juice. Served with ground black pepper and mustard to taste. With the corn hobs it's best to put a nob of butter on them so they taste yummy. The Vienna? Just get them fresh from Coles.

It was a lot of fun cooking for the guys because we figured that the electric barbie is the way to go as we do not need to start a fire on charcoal and we do not need a big storage space if it were a gas burner unit I would need to leave it out on the deck and it's messy. Now I just stick the unit in our garage and it is so easy to store. The easier it is to use the BBQ and to store it and clean it the better the incentive for me to use it.

The cleaning is also easy as I just have to wash the hotplate which has a non-stick surface.....
