How we test barbecues--performance
Performance
To find out how well each barbecue cooks a traditional barbecue feast, we asked an independent chef to really put each barbecue through its cooking paces, making use of all of the features each barbecue has to offer, including the grill, griddles, warming racks, storage shelves, side burners and hoods. Our chef cooked four sausages (we used Which? Best Buy Marks & Spencer British Outdoor Bred Pork Sausages, £2.69 for a pack of six), three pork and vegetable kebabs and a marinated chicken thigh on each barbecue, and timed how long it all took to cook.
Our chef assessed each barbecue on how easy it was to use, then tasted and rated food on how evenly it cooked, consistency, flavour and appearance. Finally, we asked the chef to assess how simple each barbecue would be to clean.
