Zameera's family favourites: From prep to perfection

For Zameera, grilling on the go is all about planning and simplicity. With a busy family in tow, she’s found ways to make cooking efficient while still delivering flavours that everyone loves.

Top tips for efficient cooking: Zameera believes that thoughtful menu planning is essential. 'I choose meals that are easy to prepare but loved by my kids,' she says. One of her go-to methods? Marinating meats in ziplock bags before heading out. 'This saves space in our cooler and makes portions easier to manage,' she explains. This simple tip minimises mess and ensures the food is ready to cook as soon as the Weber heats up.

Foil pack magic: Zameera loves using foil packs filled with pre-chopped veggies, fish, or potatoes, wrapped up with a dash of oil to prevent sticking. These packs can go straight onto the grill, cutting down on cleanup time and ensuring everyone has something tasty on their plate quickly.

Favourite dishes: Her family’s favourites include lamb steak croissants and chicken quesadillas with melty cheese. They’re easy to prepare, and the kids absolutely love them,' Zameera adds. For her, the goal is to make the meal enjoyable and hassle-free, so there’s more time to relax and less time spent on dishes.

Our Outback Odyssey: Roasting, prepping, and portable essentials

For the Outback Odyssey crew, efficient cooking on the Weber Baby Q means making the most of its compact design while still turning out mouth-watering meals.

Using roasting trays and trivets: The Baby Q may lack dual cooking zones, but Outback Odyssey has found a way to create versatile meals by adding a roasting tray and trivet. This setup helps distribute heat evenly, perfect for larger meals like roasts. 'Roasts are our absolute favourite,' they share. They rely on the Weber iGrill to monitor the internal temperature, ensuring a perfectly cooked meal without constant attention.

Easy travel and setup tips: Keeping the Weber portable is key for Outback Odyssey, who travel with the Baby Q stored in a Weber Duffle Bag. 'It’s compact, lightweight, and so easy to set up,' they note. Meal prep is another time-saver they swear by - marinated meats and chopped veggies mean less fuss at the campsite and more time enjoying the outdoors.

Favourite dish: Their top choice? A succulent roast lamb cooked to tender perfection. With the iGrill, they can achieve a juicy, evenly cooked roast every time, while the roasting tray and trivet take care of heat distribution.

The Hyde Family: Tips for simple grilling and family fun

The Hyde Family are masters of easy, family-friendly barbeque setups that focus on straightforward cooking techniques and no-fuss meals that everyone can enjoy.

Direct heat for quick meals: For the Hydes, direct heat is the way to go when they want a quick, delicious meal. Placing food directly over the flames allows for that perfect sear while cooking everything quickly. They also swear by foil packs for veggies and potatoes - easy to prep and cook with virtually no cleanup.

Efficient storage and prep: To make life easier on the road, they keep their Weber on a slide in the caravan's tunnel boot for easy access. A small barbecue toolbox, complete with essentials like tongs, Grill brush, Cookbox scraper, and seasonings, stays packed and ready. 'A Barbeque mat and a small windshield also come in handy,' they mention. The windshield helps maintain heat on windy days, while the mat simplifies cleaning up any spills.

Favourite dish: Lamb chops with garlic and herbs are the Hyde family’s favourite quick cook-up, but pizza nights are a close second. They bring a pizza stone for the Weber, which gives the crust a satisfying crisp. The kids take part in choosing toppings, making dinner both a tasty meal and a fun family activity.
