How To Get The Best From Your Weber Family Q ® Built In - Weber Family Built-in Q Premium 3600 Manual

How to get the best from your Weber® Family Q™ Built In
Your Family Q Built In has been designed to cook
magnificent steaks. To get the best results with
steak, cook on the grill bars rather than on a
hotplate. Only use a hotplate when there is
the potential for a lot of fat to come away from
the meat or when cooking eggs, pancakes and
the like. When a recipe in this cooking guide
requires you to 'grill', it is recommended that
you turn the meat only once, halfway through
cooking. Always barbecue with the lid closed,
these barbecues are not designed to cook with
the lid up. Even when cooking on a hotplate,
always cook with the lid down.
Whether you are barbecuing meat on the grill
or on a hotplate, it is important that you preheat
the barbecue before cooking. The instructions
for preheating your Family Q follow.
Preheating and grilling
To preheat your Family Q, open the lid and turn
both control knobs to START/HIGH (photograph A).
Immediately press the ignition button to light the
barbecue. Once alight, close the lid and allow the
barbecue to heat up for 10 minutes. Your Family Q
is now preheated and ready for barbecuing.
Depending on what you are cooking, if required,
adjust the burners to the temperature required
in the recipe. Refer to 'Barbecuing guide' on
page 27. Remember to always cook with the
lid down. If you are cooking with a hotplate you
will need to allow time for it to heat up. Always
preheat the plate with the lid down and test
it with a droplet of water to make sure it's hot
enough to cook on. For more information on
barbecuing and using a hotplate on your Family
Q, have a look at the videos on our website at

Grilling Roasting and baking
When a recipe in this book requires you to
roast or bake, it is recommended that you
remove the hotplate (if you have one), place
both cooking grills in the barbecue and use a
Family Q convection tray and Family Q trivet.
The convection tray and trivet will transform
your Family Q from cooking in grilling mode
to oven mode in seconds. The convection tray
is engineered with vents designed to circulate
the heat perfectly all around the food. The
vents allow the fat from the roast to drain away,
falling between the grill bars and into the drip
pan below.
To set up your Family Q for roasting and baking,
place a convection tray on the grill so the four
locating tabs sit inside the covered areas of
your cooking grill. The tray should now be
positioned in the middle of your Family Q
cooking grill. Place the Family Q trivet on the
tray (photograph B). You are now set up to roast
or bake.

When you are roasting or baking you must
preheat the barbecue. The instructions for
preheating the Family Q for roasting or baking
follow.
Preheating and roasting

For roasting, once your Family Q is preheated,
