A Challenge to You and Your BBQ’s!

January 26th may be the date that Australians celebrate their great country, but it is also a day that pays great homage to the importance of other significant Australians- Our BBQ’s!

Australia Day and Australian BBQ’s represent everything true and right about Australia, Australians and its underlying psyche- sun, surf, socializing, sausages, sangas, saltwater, sunscreen, steak, sauce and so much more.

It is time to embrace our BBQs and honor them on a more regular basis- they deserve it and so do you. Invite over your friends, family, neighbours and strangers and take the BBQ challenge, which is go forth and BBQ like you have never BBQed before. BBQ’s are designed to be used so use them for every meal of the day from breakfast to dessert for a period of 24 hours. See how you go. Let those BBQ’s truly impress you once more with their talent, endurance, performance under pressure and expert ability to heat.

Scratching your head in wonder over the BBQ Challenge? Well don’t despair because yes BBQ’s can be used to produce quality tasty dishes for every meal of the day- including morning and afternoon tea. Below is a sample menu to help you and your BBQ’s get started on this great challenge:

BREAKFAST

The first and most important meal of the day should be confronted with the simple is best philosophy. BBQ’s are perfect for breakfast and seem to be specifically designed for a simple hot breakfast of bacon, eggs, chipolatas, tomato and toast. BBQ’s and Breakfast is a match made in heaven. An easy start to your BBQ challenge!

MORNING TEA

You cannot get any more Aussie than scones cooked on BBQ’s. Can it be done you say? Absolutely! BBQ’s are hot, very hot and are the perfect environment for the cooking of scones. Simply create your favourite scone mixture, shape and then place on your BBQ’s hotplate. Ensure you turn them so that heat is distributed evenly and your scones can develop a beautiful golden colour. Have the jam and cream ready as these morsels of aussieness are best eaten hot of the BBQ’s hotplate.

LUNCH

AFTERNOON TEA

As with morning tea your might think that creating an afternoon tea on your BBQ is tricky, but its not. BBQ’s are perfect for creating perfectly round, perfectly cooked pikelets or pancakes. Large hotplates not only disperse heat evenly but also have enough space to cook many pikelets or pancakes at once. Create your favourite batter then let your BBQ’s show you all how simple and easy creating a yummy afternoon tea is. Serve with fresh fruit, icing sugar and lemon, or a scoop of ice cream. Perfection!

DINNER

BBQ’s are perfect for cooking meat, but instead of the traditional steak and sausages why not take advantage of your hooded BBQ and do a roast. A slow cooked piece of lamb, pork or beef along with roast vegetables and gravy will make you many new friends. The beauty of this meal is that it utilises all of your BBQ’s capabilities- roasting, boiling, searing, slow cooking and enticing.

DESSERT

Struggling to think of a unique Aussie dessert that you can cook on your BBQ’s? Well struggle no more. The answer is simple- a BBQ Pavlova! Yes it can be done, but you do need to use a BBQ that has a hood. Heat your BBQ to 150°C. Create your Pavlova mixture. Soak a terracotta tile in water for around 20-30 minutes then remove any excess water. Place this tile in the heated BBQ and then cover with baking paper. Place your Pavlova mixture on top of the baking paper. Close the hood and let cook for about 45-90 minutes- don’t check it too often as the BBQ’s heat will escape. The Pavlova is cooked when the outside is hard and meringue-like. Once it is cooked turn your BBQ off and let it cool inside. Serve your BBQ’s Pavlova with cream and fresh fruit.

COFFEE

No dessert is complete without a nice cup of coffee. Truly impress your guests in the BBQ challenge and pull out your stove top espresso maker. The BBQ’s hot plate is the perfect place to heat your stove top espresso maker and entice your guests once more to the BBQ. Have a couple of espresso makers going at once to ensure there is enough BBQ coffee for everyone.

About the Author

BBQ’s are wonderful additions to any Australian lifestyle and home. If you don’t have one then you need to call Lifestyle BBQ’s who have been manufacturing and selling quality BBQs and Outdoor Kitchen since 1976- they know BBQ’s. Give them a call today and start your BBQ challenge tomorrow.

Reheating Pizza In A Snap

We have all faced it: leftover pizza that has sat in the refrigerator. The cheese is cold and congealed. The crust is less than flavorful. Granted, some people prefer their pizza this way, but what if you do not? What do you do about it? Heating up a pizza in the microwave leaves you with a limp, soggy slice. There must be a better way.

 

You can use a frying pan to heat your pizza. Just slap a pan on your stove or hotplate. Let it heat up. Once hot, set your pizza in the pan over medium heat. Covering it will speed up the process but you will lose some crispness, as the moisture stays trapped in the pan. A good compromise is to cover it for the first few minutes so the cheese melts and then uncover it for crisping.

 

You can also use a griddle. Heat up the griddle and put the pizza on to crisp the crust. After a few minutes, flip the pizza over so the cheese warms and melts. Placing the cheese directly on the surface creates a delicious effect on the toppings, making the pizza absolutely delicious. It may even be better than it was the night before. You will not know until you try it.

 

Since there are so many types of pizza, it makes sense that you may need various methods to reheat your leftovers. One method utilizes the microwave for a short minute or two to heat the toppings, and then you pop the pizza into a toaster oven to crisp up the crust. For some reason, the toaster oven just is not powerful enough to crisp the crust and warm the toppings at the same time.

 

Throughout the history of pizza, people have been faced with the reheating problem. Leftover pizza is never the same as what you put away the night before. Ever since the first pizza enjoying person had leftovers, they have been trying to solve this issue.

 

One great way to heat pizza in a toaster oven is to cut up the pizza into small pieces. Heat them in the oven on a pan and enjoy the bite size appetizers you take out! They are hot, crisp and have bubbling cheese. Because the pieces are small, they do not take long to heat.

 

There are also some types of pizza that should not be reheated. For instance, when you make a sweet fruit pizza recipe, you do not want to eat it hot. This is one pizza you want to enjoy cold or at room temperature. It is a delicious dessert to serve anytime and they are easy to make.

 

Now you have a few tools in your pocket to use when faced with day old pizza. Do not be intimidated by what you see before you in the box. In a short time you will be enjoying a hot slice of pizza as good as what you brought home. These methods are also perfect for frozen or homemade pizza.

How do I calculate this TOG value?

I really need to calculate the TOG value of a carpet sample. I used a hotplate with a carpet sample taped to it and measured how much heat came through the carpet. Here are the details of the experiment.

Hotplate temperature = 26.7 ºC
Carpet Surface temp. = 26.5 ºC
Caepet thickness = 8 mm
Contact time = 15 mins
Room temperature = 18 ºC
Hotplate = 24 V * 60 A = 1440 Watts
Carpet Sample = 0.2277 m2

I should add that the carpet sample was cut to a circular shape to fit exactly on top of the hotplate with no free space over or inside the edges of the hot plate. This problem has plagued me for months, please help if you can.

You do not have enough information to calculate the TOG value.

The tog value is equal to ten times the temperature difference (in °C) between the two surfaces when the flow of heat is equal to one watt per square metre.

You have not measured the flow of heat - you have measured the temperature difference. So you are lacking a vital piece of information.

You have the maximimum power rating of the hotplate, but you did not measure its actual power consumption. This cannot have been 1440 W because this would have raised its temperature well above 26.7 C - a hot ring of this power would glow red within a minute even if not insulated. Even if you had measured the power input, it is certain that the hotplate is losing heat other than through the carpet.

If you assumed the power flow was 1440W the TOG would be 0.0003 - which is clearly wrong.
