MAN LAW # 10: Flare-ups will be handled calmly and discreetly until such time as flames spread to a national park

BBQs are not just about meat. Barbecued potatoes in foil have to be one of the great comfort foods of the great outdoors. The trick is to cook them properly – and now that’s easier than ever with MAN LAW potato gauges with glow-in-the-dark dials. Now you know when your potatoes are ready without having to cut them in half.

The gauges come in four different colours with dial faces and pointers that glow in the dark. They are full stainless steel with a temperature range from 0°C to 300°C and they are dishwasher safe.

Fillings: Your baked potato is only as good as its level of doneness and its filling. Try chopped avocado, tomatoes and flat-leafed parsley for a salsa filling. For a sour cream and sweet chilli sauce, mix up ¾ cup of sour cream with 2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh coriander.

Potato gauge series with glow-in-the-dark dial MAN-T343PBBQ: $16 including GST.
