In Czech, BBQing is no more thought of only in connection with sausages, nor is barbecue considered to be merely a kind of sauce. However, more sophisticated preparation of meals requires also quality equipment. There now exist multifunctional grills which could replace your home bakery. Visitors to the BBQ Academy, directed by the guru of Czech barbecuing, Jiří Dolenský, could see with their own eyes how easy it is to prepare even desserts in these grills.

“In my classes, I teach BBQ amateurs how to prepare correctly simple, tasty meals. The advantage is that the participants can try it all on the spot. They grill their meal and then they eat it,” told us the always smiling Czech Republic BBQ champion and captain of the national BBQ team, Jiří Dolenský. Experienced BBQ lovers, Jiří added, would also enjoy his classes, as he can share with them a number of tips and tricks how to create new taste variations.

From one year to another, the charm of barbecue lures more and more people, even those who have always considered cooking as a loss of time. Barbecuing is not only about the meal itself. It is a laid-back lifestyle where meeting friends matters. The multifunctional grills, which work at well-regulated temperatures, are no longer destined only to prepare meat; you can also bake a real Italian pizza or a nice loaf of bread.
