Do you love to cook outdoors? Why do I ask! Because for many it seems its quite a hassle and they look for ever easier ways to be able to do it. Is this the force that is driving the move towards evermore sophisticated, many times ever bigger, ever more technical outdoor cooking equipment?
Yes, its true that outdoor cooking takes slightly more time than cooking indoors, but don’t you think theres something magical about it? Speaking for myself I think that its well worth the extra effort as nothing tastes better than food cooked outdoors!
We run the e-commerce Outdoor Cooking Equipment Store providing cooking equipment to people who enjoy outdoor cooking. The reason I’m writing is because I’m becoming evermore concerned about the technology, the scale and the gadgetry that comes with the latest outdoor cooking equipment. I have to ask whether its worth cooking outdoors given the fact that what they’re cooking on is a bigger scale and more technically sophisticated that that which they cook on indoors! What on earth is it that we are trying to create in our gardens?
The days of simple outdoor cooking are threatened by those who would have us believe that the next technology horizon is the patio! Even as a retailer of outdoor cooking equipment I have to ask, what is the point of cooking outdoors if technology has taken over? Where has the flair gone; where is the initiative; where has the creativity gone?
Its time for those of us who love the purity of outdoor cooking to make a stand and so my website reflects this. I’m here to help you make the most of your outdoor cooking experience but I’d advise not coming if what you’re looking for is the latest technology that will transform your outdoor cooking experience into something akin to mindless indoor cooking.
Top of the range grills, by way of example, are great pieces of technology but they are awash with advanced technology! The result is that they detract from the simple joy of cooking outdoors and they almost eliminate human input, individuality and your own expertise! In short they spoil the joy and the very reason why we cook outdoors. It is possible these days to cook almost anything outdoors that you can cook inside. Outdoor recipes abound and because you’re cooking outside nearly always the food tastes better than when cooked indoors. My concern is that folk should not make the mistake of thinking that all this has to be supported by massive pieces of kit and advanced technologies.
So I say make your selection of the outdoor cooking equipment that you are going to use from the context of what is going to work for you, your family and your guests. Don’t be dazzled by the latest gizmo’s. Don’t feel you have to spend a kings ransom to be able to cook outside; it just isn’t necessary. Get real, keep your feet on the ground and choose from traditional kit. Use it frequently, develop your own flare and become known for your individuality and style.
