Chipotle Grilled Shrimp

Make shrimp marinade with fresh vegetables or grill the ingredients first, whip up the sauce while grilling other veg, and fire the shellfish last. Learn to make Chipotle Grilled Shrimp.

When I want a quick and easy dinner during harvest season, I often fire up the grill. With an abundance of fresh vegetables at hand, the grill does double duty: lightly cooking while adding flavor to vegetables I want to save for winter and getting off the evening meal before the coals die out. We might making an entire vegetarian meal from the homegrown produce that comes off the grill on a…

Nostalgic Delights: Yoroi-Bari Cladding and Gacha-Gacha Machines in Japan

Location: Gumyoji, Minami Ward, Yokohama, Japan Timestamp: 17:30・2024/04/09

Fujifilm X100V with 5% diffusion filter ISO 1250 for 1/250 sec. at ƒ/2.0 Classic Negative film simulation

Two blocks west of the east entrance of the Gumyoji Shotengai shopping arcade lies a charcoal-grilled yakiniku shop. Its interior and exterior are meticulously designed to evoke a retro ambiance reminiscent of a Japanese house from the 1950s.

This quaint restaurant has garnered numerous positive reviews for its charming interior, menu offerings, and attentive service. Yet, it's not the restaurant itself that captivated my attention. What truly intrigued me was the striking contrast between the dark, classic traditional wooden “yoroi-bari” cladding and the shiny late Showa era gacha-gacha toy capsule machines.

Delve into my full-write-up (a quick 1-minute read) to uncover the fascinating story behind the unique yoroi-bari cladding, its ties to samurai armor, and find additional resources on gacha-gacha machines, along with a handy glossary (https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20240409-gacha).

sprint retro/review/planning wednesday! 4/5 tasks complete, not perfect but i still feel like i was really productive.

retro/planning notes under the cut

despite trying to clear my weekend, i ended up going to a friend’s house to play board games saturday afternoon, but i somehow managed to get my whole weekend’s worth of chores done by saturday evening anyway, which was cool. turns out (unless it’s the rare occasion where i’m out of the house) friday night is a great time to just go ahead and get the laundry done, especially in the summer where a lot of my chore list is sweaty yard work so it’s harder to piece in between other chores.

it also took me way longer than i expected to transcribe what turned out to be 2000 words of fic. that is around what i thought but i also had in my head ‘nah i am way over estimating this’ but it turns out i wasn’t. there’s definitely value in writing by hand (forced forward progress since it’s hard to fuss with word choice) but having to type it up is a huge downside.

i was going to write up the vfd meta yesterday (i did skim through a whole bunch of the end and flag a bunch of quotes so the scope has greatly expanded from what i initially intended) (oh wait actually i should re-read tpp and tgg and actually do a good proper job of that—i do really think that will also help with the klaus and lemony fic.. hold on going to swap some sticky notes and take a new picture) but i went to the local single screen theater with @soymimikyu to see seven samurai instead, which was good (and much more funny than i was expecting) but very very long.

i’m debating whether i want to go to picklesburgh this weekend (i’m genuinely unsure of whether is sounds like fun or not but if i go by myself i can just leave if it isn’t…) and i definitely want to grill things (which ends up being meal prep for most of the week so i need to set aside a significant amount of time for that) (i should make sure i have charcoal) and read most of a book, so i don’t want to over commit.

Happy Father's Day, darling @cagenewman

To say that you have become the knot that holds our family together is an understatement. You've weathered so many storms with us already in the last few years and have shown nothing but support, kindness, strength, protection, in the face of moments where we didn't always know what would happen when the roads were so shaky. You've held onto an unyielding belief when we stumbled back into that football game over two years ago that it was meant to be. That we were destined to find each other and be together, and part of me now believes more than ever, that is true. Things might not always be perfect, but they are imperfectly ours, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Knowing that you're my husband and that you have raised Colton into a kind, caring, gentle soul who shows compassion for everyone he encounters has been a true privilege and to know that you've stepped and and now are raising Rosalyn as your own without any qualms. No hesitation to correct anyone, family included, that you have two children, a son and daughter, whether biologically or not. They don't know how extraordinary of a father they've come to have and someday when they're much older, yes, even older than a teenage Colton who is starting to think he knows the world, understand. There's no one I rather celebrate in spoiling being an amazing father than you, and can't wait for several decades more years to do the same.

I went a bit crazy with the gifts because I found one last minute that I couldn't resist with building our new home. It felt very you, and today is about you after all, so no complaining on what it must have cost, and thankful you can't access my credit card statement! First of all, we're having a bit of an all out night dinner with Brazilian steak and chimichurri sauce and a bunch of sides that are your favorite to go around. The rest are a bit outdoorsy because I know it's where you love to be, so because you and Colton are going to be going away on that father son trip, I've gotten you this folding chair -- apparently it's wonderful, comfortable, good for old backs! Colton agreed it was definitely the chair for you after reading that. Talk to him, not me! A new travel bag that condenses, but also if it gets wet is water safe, repellant? I don't know the reviews were wonderful and with all the outdoorsy things you'll do it's best if the bag keeps your belongings dry. Best also if you drop it in a lake it'll float and not sink. Saves you on all fronts. I would say the pièce de résistance is the grill, it's a both a pellet grill, charcoal grill, so can be used in the traditional old fashion away without all the gas potentially being around, but it has some updated new technology for temperature checking meat, and all smart wifi capabilities. We'll have to read more on that because definitely thinking even I might be out grilling sometimes now, best yet, it's a smoker too which means you can make as much delicious barbecue as you want.

Now the last bit is the real winning prize for you, is knowing that the whole day I'll be wearing this under my sundress for you to remove later once the day is over and everyone is tucked into bed, and you get to be the lucky one to take off.

Happy Father's Day, babe.

Take a Taste: with Mang Inasal's Chicken Inasal - Pecho (Chicken Breast) [Recorded: Mar 26th, 2024]

Hello! It’s time for another “Take a Taste”! The series is about delicious food with my two paper dolls.

Aww yeah, another round of going "Mang Inasal" restaurant? Yes, please! 😋 This Time, I'm invited with my parents at the different Mang Inasal branch, on Mar 26th, 2024. 🏢🍴 However, once again, I broke the rules for not eating meat this year's "Holy Week", so please forgive me. 😔 Nevertheless, here's my review of Mang Inasal's famous dish, the "Chicken Inasal", particularly the "Breast" part (in Tagalog we called it "Pecho" [pi-cho]) I ordered 🍴🍗. And let's not forget, the "Unlimited Rice" (or "Unli Rice" for short)! ➕🍚🤤 So will I satisfied with my order as my previous one? 🤔 Let's find out, right now! 😀

If you haven’t seen my previous episode, then please [CLICK ME!].

IMPORTANT NOTE: No #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.

AND ANOTHER NOTE: These photos and videos are my first time using my brand new smartphone from Tecno! 🆕📲😁 Want it more? Please → [CLICK ME!].

So, without further ado, let’s get started:

1st & 2nd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Here's what "Chicken Inasal" looks like in all of its perfect serving 🇵🇭🍗; let alone the slightly mess on my "Unli Rice" green plate. Plus, let's not forget the free warm 'Tamarind Soup' 🇵🇭 🫘 🥣, as well as the condiments that we mentioned in my previous topic, in Jan 2024. *Sniff* (2x) Can you smell the burning charcoal goodness, you two? I bet you are! 🍴🍗🍚🤤 Unfortunately, I didn't get the "Unlimited Java Rice" (over the owing to a different menu. That's all right, I should make another plan, someday. 🤷‍♀️

BTW: We decided to drink water over soda for budget reason. 🥛💧

3rd Image 📷📲: ↑

• Anyway, normally I used cutlery as my main purpose for three meal servings (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner), both at home and at food-related establishments. Just like you're doing it daily. 🍴 However, for this day, it's time to get my hands on the traditional "Filipino Way"! 😁 That's right! We Filipino blood (like myself) use our human hand/hands as our traditional cutlery, whether there's a meal on the plate or a meal on the large banana leaf. The latter was another traditional "Filipino Way" called the "Boodle Fight". 🇵🇭🤲🍚🍗🐟😋 "It's a meal that dispenses with cutlery and dishes. Diners instead practice kamayan and eat straight off the table unlike typical instances of eating with the hands of individual plates", according to my rapid research. 🔍🌐

My Recorded Video 🎦🎞️: ↑

• Thankfully, I have my recorded video shot at 60fps for the FIRST TIME! 🎦⏺️📱😃 Also, my first muted video sound because it is super noisy inside, even in ✝️ "Holy Week" ⛪. Okay, it's actually two videos I recorded, so I combined them into one (using Filmora 9). 🙂

• All video aside, here's me using my single right hand as my cutlery after I washed my hands (before recording). You can see, I'm picking a small amount of grilled chicken with my bare fingers before I dip in some chicken oil I put some small amount of rice, and shove it through my mouth. It is super DELICIOUS! 🍗🍚🤤 I also doing it again, this time I'm dipping a fuse of chicken oil and some soy sauce! Yum-yum! 😋 Yeah, it could be messy and I should request plastic gloves, but I simply can't help myself without wearing plastic gloves. As for the "Unli Rice", I requested two rounds of steamy rice from the food server before I was done eating and sipping a little tamarind soup, and then I coughed. 😫 I'll be fine, though. 😅

4th Image & Overall 📷📲: ↑

• Overall? Just like before, it was satisfied our taste buds from eating a Chicken Inasal Pecho with Unlimited Rice! Which, by the way, I decided to take home my leftover grilled chicken for any day meal. 🍗😊 And, what can I say? Chicken Inasal did everything right for the past decades, and they never stopped serving the Philippine people (like us)! 🇵🇭🍗😋

• As for the asking price? It cost ₱199 ($3.49) 💵 w/ "Unlimited Rice" included. However, if you want a single shot of steamy rice and not a "Unlimited Rice", then it cost ₱164 ($2.87) 💵 for Solo choice. To me "Rice is Life", so I'm definitely gonna order a meal with "Unlimited Rice". 🍗🍚➕😋

Well, that's all for now. 😊

Nuri spiced sardines in olive oil

“Seriously, are you still watching that?!”, my partner, Haley, asks. “It's been 3 hours and you're still watching canned sardine reviews?!”

“Tin reviews”, I replied,

Pre-Covid, tinned sardines were definitely not an exciting lunch idea to me. In 2018, I thoroughly enjoyed plump, charcoal grilled sardines on the southern coast of Spain, but frankly, chomping down on a dozen shiny, little, cold, oily fish was never an appetising idea. We had plenty of fresh seafood growing up in New Zealand that, I guess tinned fish wasn't something we ate much of at all. We had tinned tuna, but that really is about it. I didn't have my first tuna melt until Haley made me one on one of our early dates. A simple combination which I was weary about at first, quickly became a staple. 

Nowadays, as I spend plenty of time online, and some time outside in the real world, it's becoming clearer that more people are grasping the great idea of cheap and easy omega-3 fatty acids -- sardines! There are “Tin of the month” clubs, YouTube channels, TikTok accounts and Discord groups which all revolve directly around the ever growing tinned fish cult (or is it a fad? , maybe a chat for another day). Today, sardines and other tins of preserved seafood are something I keep an eye out for in every little market I walk by. I went to a few Asian supermarkets last week and found plenty of options. Sometimes hidden gems, entire walls of tinned seafood ( 1kg tins of fried dace??, maybe next time, thanks )). 

After an unsuccessful hunt for this particular brand around my current home of Vancouver BC, I turned to Dan at Rainbow Tomato Garden. The largest selection of tinned seafood IN THE WORLD should have what I need. A few days of adding tins, removing tins, reading reviews and calculating funds, I eagerly placed an order for a box of mixed tins, including a little stack of NURI brand. This Portugal based company is known to produce excellent tinned sardines, and have a history of tinning a superior product. Their website quotes them to be “the only company that remains faithful to the traditional method throughout its production.” Since 1920 they have been pumping out tins using their homemade secret recipes. A short wait after shipping, a USPS box of goodness was on my doorstep.

After seeing so much talk and hype online about the Nuri Spiced Sardines in Olive Oil i decided to give one a rip for myself. 

The brand has simple and recognizable packaging, paper wrapper over a tin. Something about it being my first tin of Nuri made me want to keep the wrapper, such a simple but fond memory. Right at the crack of the tin, I knew these were going to be great. The “someone just opened a tin of dines” smell was there, but extremely subtle. It almost smelt like very light pickle brine. Definitely not an unpleasant smell, which sardines often get such a bad reputation for. Peeling back the lid revealed 3 chunky boys, shimmering in the olive oil. The fish were packed tightly enough to be touching, but were firm to the touch. Firm enough for me to easily grab the middle one out with chopsticks, with little damage. The skin on all the fish was already very damaged, with large parts missing. What little skin there was, was falling off the flesh once removed from the oil. Less or broken skin is not something I'm complaining about. Less skin means less scales! No one likes eating scales.

Half a fish for the first bite; these are damn delicious. A savoury, slightly salty taste and the firm bite to go with. A complete surprise to how subtle the flavour is. Really a delight and far less “fishy” than most people would expect. The cartilage in the spine had completely dissolved into the fish and had become soft, not bringing any noticeable crunch. The trio of sardines came packed with one slice of carrot, one slice of pickle, one little red chilli, part of a dried bay leaf and a clove. A classic combination to bring subtle heat and flavour to the oil and meat. You can see the workers at the Nuri factory hand packing the ingredients in this Youtube Video. Onto the operating table for the second oily boi; I removed the spine and ate that separately (my favourite part). Once the fish was on a plate I could really notice the colours in the meat, varying from white to a dark purple pink. The deeper the colour, the stronger the flavour. The oil kept a nice shine on everything and had a very light olive flavour. It had a light yellow colour that was still clear and glossy even after all this time marinating the fish. I personally love an olive oil tin over a soya oil tin. The carrot and pickle went down next, neither of which tasted like pickle or carrot. The flavour of both must get leached into the oil by the time it gets out to us consumers. The lucky last sardine went down on simple salted saltines with a bit more hot sauce. Adding the crackers to the table obviously makes for more texture, but it also creates more of a vessel for the extra hot sauce I was drizzling on top. I haven't been able to find a bottle of the famous Salsa Espinaler locally yet, which I have read is perfect on all fish, but I have a few more artisanal stores to check out before I resort to buying online. The heat was subtle, to put it subtly. One little chilli adds little to no mouth buzz sensation. The Nuri Extra spiced uses 3 chillies per tin, so I will have to test that tin to see if they have some real spice and mouth feel. 

Two saltines and three fish. Not a meal I used to go out of my way to have, but today was a healthy and highly enjoyable lunch. These sardines could easily be broken up and put on top of a salad, used as a “sardine melt” or lightly floured and then fried in their own oil. My next tin of Nuri spiced, i'm going to use this beer batter recipe: Beer Battered ‘Dines. 

When a store in my hometown starts to stock Nuri brand, I will be first in line ready to pick up a stack of tins. I would love to have the spiced sardines in olive oil as my “go to tin”, I mean, who wouldn't?  I recommend these to any non-sardine eater, someone who is looking to try their first tin, or to impress someone on a first date! The subtleness would be an ideal way to ease someone into the flavour rather than starting them off with Oskars Surstromming. Do yourself a favour, find a local supplier of Nuri, pick up a tin and give it a crack!

Tin Rating - 4/5

Friends, Romans, Countrymen

Let’s do a literal break down the first episode title of Yellowjackets season 2!

This was sent out to a few people, so I’m basing this breakdown off of it also! (This analysis is based simply on the words individually and not the Shakespeare reference, I’ll do that in a different post!)

Friends:

the lipstick leads me to believe it’s a reference to (spoiler!) Shauna putting makeup on Jackie’s body, which was revealed in a review

it could also just literally be about friends, any of the girls in general

Romans

paired with the grill, I believe this relates to how the romans cooked their food

the Romans cooked using a charcoal brazier, which in the modern day equivalent would be a charcoal grill

Countrymen

countrymen likely refers to the rural-ness of their situation

the rope likely ties into the rural prep after a hunt, where they tie up their kill and butcher it accordingly

This altogether seems to reflect the preparation we saw in the very first episode of how they prepared and cooked Pit Girl to be eaten, but how they begin or possibly the first time they do it and establish the ritual/procedure.

Now, the possible connection to Jackie seems to imply an atypical disposal of her corpse… which means that with the ritual they’re recreating the first time they eat someone with each sacrifice… and explains why pit girl is wearing Jackie’s necklace

This iconic grill doesn't just promise smoky flavors; it delivers an experience that transforms your backyard into a culinary haven.

With its spacious cooking area and easy-to-use features, this grill will allow you to whip up everything from juicy burgers to perfectly seared steaks. But what sets this grill apart? Let's dive deeper into its standout qualities and explore how you can elevate your grilling game with tips, recipes, and maintenance tricks that will keep your Weber in shape for years.

Grilling Recipes to Try on the Weber Original Kettle Premium 26-Inch Charcoal Grill

Firing the Weber Original Kettle Premium 26-inch Charcoal Grill opens a world of delicious possibilities. Start with classic BBQ ribs, marinated in your favorite sauce and slow-cooked to tender perfection over indirect heat.

For something a bit different, try grilled vegetable skewers. Toss bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil and seasonings before threading them on skewers. The smoky flavor enhances their natural sweetness.

Don'tRemember seafood! Grilled shrimp tacos are an easy yet impressive dish. Marinate shrimp in lime juice and spices before grilling until they're charred and succulent.

Burgers are a must-have. Experiment with gourmet toppings like avocado or blue cheese to elevate your standard fare into something extraordinary. Each recipe showcases the unique flavor only charcoal can provide while making the most of this iconic grill's capabilities.

Maintenance and Care of the Grill

Maintaining your Weber Original Kettle Premium 26-inch Charcoal Grill is essential for longevity and performance. After each use, allow the grill to cool down completely before starting your cleaning routine.

Begin by removing the ash catcher. Empty it regularly to prevent buildup that can obstruct airflow. A clean grill enhances flavor and improves heat distribution.

Use a stiff brush to scrub the cooking grate while still warm. This helps lift off stubborn residue without damaging the surface. For deeper cleaning, please take out the grates and wash them with soap and water.

Check the vents periodically; they should be debris-free for proper ventilation during grilling sessions. Wipe down external surfaces with a damp cloth occasionally to keep that sleek black finish looking pristine.

Store your grill in a dry place or invest in a cover to protect it from harsh weather conditions when not in use.

Benefits of Using a Charcoal Grill

Charcoal grills are celebrated for their unique flavor profile. The smoky aroma from the charcoal infuses meats and vegetables, creating a taste that gas grills can't replicate.

Another notable benefit is the high heat they generate. This allows for excellent searing, locking in juices, and enhancing texture. Those beautiful grill marks? They come courtesy of coal's intense heat.

Charcoal grilling also encourages outdoor cooking experiences. It's not just about the food; it's about gathering with friends and family around an open flame.

Additionally, charcoal grills often have lower prices than gas models. You don't need to invest heavily to enjoy great barbecued meals.

Many enthusiasts appreciate how straightforward they are to use. With minimal setup and easy temperature control, once you master it, you'll be on your way to perfect grilled dishes in no time.

Customer Reviews and Ratings

Customer feedback paints a vivid picture of the Weber Original Kettle Premium 26-inch Charcoal Grill. Enthusiasts rave about its sturdy construction and timeless design, and many users appreciate how easy it is to set up and start grilling.

The heat retention is often highlighted as a game-changer. Home chefs love how evenly food cooks, giving them that perfect sear every time. The spacious cooking area allows for larger gatherings without compromising flavor or quality.

Some reviewers mention the hassle-free cleanup process due to the built-in ash catcher. This feature simplifies post-barbecue duties, allowing more time for relaxation.

While most ratings are overwhelmingly positive, some customers express concerns about portability given its size. However, they generally agree that this grill becomes a beloved centerpiece of outdoor cooking experiences once it's in place.

Comparison with Other Grills in the Market

When considering the Weber Original Kettle Premium 26-inch Charcoal Grill, it's essential to compare it with other options on the market. Many grills boast high performance and unique features, but few match this charcoal grill's reliability and classic design.

First, gas grills offer convenience and quick heat-up times. However, they often lack the deep flavor of cooking over charcoal. The Weber Original Kettle lets you savor those rich, smoky notes that many grilling enthusiasts crave.

Pellet grills have gained popularity for their versatility in temperature control. Yet, they are more expensive and require additional maintenance than a straightforward charcoal setup like the Weber kettle.

Another competitor is electric grills, perfect for indoor use or in places with restrictions on traditional grilling methods. Still, they cannot replicate that authentic outdoor grilling experience or impart the same depth of flavor as charcoal.

Some stainless steel models may initially appear more robust in terms of durability. However, when properly maintained, your Weber Original Kettle will last through years of cookouts while retaining its charm and functionality.

The combination of timeless design and modern upgrades makes this grill stand out among competitors in various categories—whether you're looking for portability or advanced technology integration. Suppose you value taste while enjoying an uncomplicated cooking process outdoors. In that case, there's no question: investing in a Weber Original Kettle Premium 26-inch Charcoal Grill will significantly elevate your backyard barbecue game.

Discover the Perfect Barbeque Grill in Dubai: Elevate Your Outdoor Cooking Experience

Dubai is known for its luxurious lifestyle, breathtaking skyline, and an affinity for outdoor living. With its warm climate and beautiful evenings, it’s no wonder that barbeque gatherings are a popular choice for many residents and visitors alike. If you’re looking to elevate your outdoor cooking experience, investing in a high-quality barbeque grill in Dubai is essential.

At Hazel Gazebo, we understand the importance of enjoying the finer things in life, especially when it comes to outdoor cooking. That’s why we’re here to guide you in choosing the perfect barbeque grill that suits your needs and enhances your outdoor living space.

Why Choose a Barbeque Grill in Dubai?

Dubai’s climate is perfect for outdoor activities, and barbequing is a favorite pastime for many. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering, a casual get-together with friends, or a special event, a barbeque grill is a must-have. It’s not just about cooking food; it’s about creating memorable experiences. The aroma of grilled meat, the sizzle of vegetables, and the joy of cooking outdoors add a unique charm to any gathering.

When it comes to selecting a barbeque grill in Dubai, there are several factors to consider. From the type of grill to its size and features, making the right choice can significantly impact your overall experience.

Types of Barbeque Grills

Gas Grills: Gas grills are one of the most popular choices for many barbeque enthusiasts in Dubai. They are easy to use, heat up quickly, and offer precise temperature control. If you’re someone who enjoys the convenience of quick cooking, a gas grill might be the perfect option for you. It’s ideal for those who want to enjoy outdoor cooking without the hassle of managing charcoal or wood.

Charcoal Grills: For those who love the traditional barbeque flavor, a charcoal grill is the way to go. Charcoal grills take a bit longer to heat up, but they offer that unmistakable smoky taste that many barbeque lovers crave. If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, the results can be incredibly rewarding.

Electric Grills: If you live in an apartment or a place with restrictions on open flames, an electric grill could be your best bet. They are compact, easy to use, and perfect for small spaces. While they might not offer the same smoky flavor as charcoal grills, they are a practical option for those who want to enjoy barbeque in a more controlled environment.

Portable Grills: For those who love the idea of barbequing on the go, portable grills are a fantastic choice. Whether you’re planning a picnic at the beach, a camping trip, or simply want a grill that you can easily move around, portable grills offer flexibility and convenience.

Choosing the Right Barbeque Grill for You

When selecting a barbeque grill in Dubai, it’s important to consider your specific needs and preferences. Here are a few factors to keep in mind:

Cooking Space: Think about the number of people you’ll typically be cooking for. If you often host large gatherings, you might want a grill with a larger cooking area. On the other hand, if it’s just for a small family or a few friends, a compact grill might suffice.

Features: Modern barbeque grills come with a range of features, from side burners and rotisserie attachments to built-in thermometers and storage options. Consider which features are important to you and will enhance your cooking experience.

Budget: Barbeque grills in Dubai come in a variety of price ranges. It’s important to set a budget and find a grill that offers the best value for your money. Remember, a more expensive grill doesn’t always mean better quality, so take the time to research and read reviews.

Brand Reputation: At Hazel Gazebo, we pride ourselves on offering only the best products. When choosing a barbeque grill, consider the brand’s reputation for quality and customer service. A good warranty and after-sales support can make a big difference in your overall satisfaction.

Maintenance Tips for Your Barbeque Grill

Once you’ve chosen your perfect barbeque grill in Dubai, it’s important to maintain it properly to ensure it lasts for years to come. Here are some simple maintenance tips:

Regular Cleaning: After each use, make sure to clean the grill grates and remove any leftover food particles. This will prevent buildup and make it easier to use next time.

Protect from the Elements: Dubai’s weather can be harsh, so it’s important to protect your grill from the sun, wind, and rain. Invest in a good-quality grill cover to keep it in top condition.

Check for Gas Leaks: If you’re using a gas grill, regularly check for any gas leaks or hose damage. Safety should always be your top priority.

Season the Grates: For charcoal and gas grills, consider seasoning the grates with oil to prevent rust and ensure a non-stick surface for cooking.

Conclusion

A barbeque grill in Dubai is more than just a cooking appliance; it’s a gateway to creating unforgettable memories with friends and family. Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or just starting out, choosing the right grill can make all the difference in your outdoor cooking experience. At Hazel Gazebo, we’re here to help you find the perfect barbeque grill that meets your needs and enhances your outdoor lifestyle. So why wait?

Glamping Clear Spring Maryland 3-Cabin Campground 5 Star Review

Camping Clear Spring Maryland 3-Cabin Review 60th Birthday Celebration for Nonno!

This is a beautiful property! Incredible oasis/setting for our special family get together. Two cabins felt like new (including the kids favorite Tanner w/ lofts) and main cabin nostalgic with its own charm. Our 3 generations had great fun preparing meals in the summer kitchen with sink, stove, microwave, 2 fridges and pots, pans & utensils… We also made use the the gas and charcoal grills.

We all comfortably had meals together and relaxed and played games on the spacious porch. We were grateful for the opportunity to go on a hay ride and tour and learn a bit of the history of the property and Tom told some heart- warm stories along the way.

The newly built event space is awesome! The property is a few minute hike to the river and there is a delightful sparkling clear, spring fed pond with paddle boat. Fantastic playground for the kids and huge fire pit with plenty of room for our large group to sit roasting marshmallows. Nice outdoor shower and bathroom. The hammock was definitely a hit.

Thank you Tom and Karen for your warm and caring hospitality, it was a special milestone weekend, one we will hold dear in our hearts!
