Did you know that this week is National Barbecue Week? I actually do know this fun fact because I plan on celebrating big time. I have a love of barbecue food, but the dilemma I also have is that I haven't really been able to master the art of barbequing myself. Growing up, my dad and my brother were always the first to have the tongs in hand, and I was always happy behind the scenes making the potato salad.
But this summer I promised myself I'd get some barbecue skills so that I can create delicious meals for myself now that I live alone. I gave it one go on a regular gas barbecue and immediately gave up. Not because I lacked the knowledge of how to light it, but because I didn't enjoy the element of gas in the cooking process.
I've read horror stories about wrongly using gas cooking units in smaller spaces, and my balcony feels like a smaller space. So what's a girl to do? Give Ninja Woodfire Electric Barbecue Grill and Smoker a go, of course. Having read and watched dozens of reviews online from both amateur and pro barbecuers, I suspected I would love it, but I don't think I was expecting to like it quite as much as I do.
The top line of the product is it's an easy-to-use outdoor grill that needs no charcoal or gas and produces no flames. You can use it as an air fryer or as a BBQ-like grill to create authentic seared meats and veg. In fact, it has seven functions that allow you to grill, smoke, air fry, roast, bake and reheat.
