MAN LAW # 6: The BBQ chef shall be kept hydrated at all times

Throwing a thick steak on the barbie is the essence of barbecuing. Smaller food items like prawns and vegies have been ignored to some extent because, as they weren’t in close contact with the fire, they just didn’t have that flame grilled flavour. Now, thanks to the genius of MAN LAW, the small stuff rates big time on the BBQ – and what’s more, it’s so easy to cook.

The solution to BBQ-flavoured prawns and veggies is the skillet basket. The sheer brilliance of the functional design means the prawns and veggies can be infused with full BBQ flavour as they can now be cooked right over the flame. The 300 mm diameter, non-stick, metal perforated skillet basket is ridiculously simple and functional. It even has a foldable wooden handle for easy storage.

A few hints for grilling vegetables: cut the vegetables to roughly the same size and thickness. Marinades are a tasty way to stop the veggies from drying out. For a lemon and garlic marinade, mix up a tablespoon each of olive oil and lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a teaspoon of minced garlic and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Want something a little different? Mix 2 tablespoons each of maple syrup and olive oil, then add a teaspoon of wasabi.

Metal perforated skillet basket, 30 cm diameter MAN-H3: $19 including GST.
