Sainsbury's Party Disposable BBQ
by hoggy1965
This is a fun item in my opinion. I would not buy it for a serious BBQ, but for an impromptu trip to the beach, I have found these to be superb, though the proximity to the ground does often get sand on the food, especially if it's a windy day.
They "fire- up" easily and get up to cooking temperature quickly. For the ... money perhaps I am being pedantic, but obviously they cook at one temperature- flat out, as the food sits so close to the heat. However, if you take the right food, it is cooked to perfection. I would not recommend it for thick burghers or chicken legs, as I have found they tend to burn on the outside and be under-cooked inside. However, thinner burghers and sausages cook to perfection. I have used them with bacon which they cooked beautifully.
Ideal to have a couple in the cupboard for that spur of the moment trip.

Sainsbury's Party Disposable BBQ
We use the Argos Kettle BBQ at home, and when we had booked for our summer holiday, we decided that we would make the use of the patio furniture that had been supplied with the caravan we hired, so we brought 2 Sainsbury's Party Disposable BBQ, as there was 3 adults and 1 child, and from previous ... experience we find the standard size too small.
=Price / Size=
I paid £4.99 for each of the BBQs, size this was the party size, I would say it was about 5in in depth, and was about twice the size of 2 standard BBQs, the nearest comparison I could think of would be a page of A3 sized paper.
=The Packaging=
Once you have removed the cardboard sleeve, the bottom of the BBQ is filled with charcoal and this has been pre-topped with a wire mesh, which is the cooking layer, this layer is securely fixed to the base of the unit.
=To Use=
We just gave the BBQ a quick tap on the side to even the charcoal out, then to light the BBQ you light the paper which is pre-lined into the BBQ and from here this works through the BBQ lighting it. Make sure that your cooking on a level surface and somewhere safe.
=Time=
It took about 20 minutes for the flames and the smoke to dispense, the flames were more from the paper, at this stage the charcoal had turned from black to white and was ready to be used.
=Heat=
I was very impressed with the heat from the BBQ, it cooked the food through perfectly, we had Gammon, Pork steaks, Beef Burgers, Sausage, Bacon, Pineapple and my favourite the baked banana. Once we had cooked the main food we left the banana to warm through.
=Taste=
The food had the smoky feel which you get from a BBQ, and taste wise there was no difference than cooking on a traditional BBQ.
=Any problems=
There was a good amount of heat from the BBQ, although I did find the less fatty items like the bacon did stick on the mesh and I had to force them off, I had no BBQ tools so I was using 2 forks and a spatula.
=Cooling Off=
I needed to make sure that the BBQ was in a safe place to cool down, as even though the cooking heat has gone the residue heat was still there, I placed mine under a seat, outside the caravan and disposed of it next day with the rubbish.
=Would I recommend=
I would recommend this BBQ as it was a lot better than those that I have previously used, although they are not cost effective to use on a regular basis, but for a change on holiday it is a good family time.
