The
vast minority of barbecue appliances used in Australia is (are -
it's your choice) electric-powered. However, a friend of mine who
works for one of the big distributors of these things says they
are poised to take over the world. Personally, I think it is simply
the thin edge of a wedge aimed at getting the average Australian
bloke to realise he can cook inside and that it doesn't have to
involve flames. What's next - the bar-b-crockpot?
A friend won an electric grill in a raffle a few
years ago. She's never used it and I think it's the lead that spooks
her. Why on earth would you want your barby spot dictated by the
positioning of a power point? it's not only unnatural, it's un-Australian.
Mind you, clever advertising programs might just
see electric barbys achieve world domination. The one at right was
devised by Sunbeam and it seeks to make the claim that electricity
is the original heat source for barbecuing - not bad, not bad at
all!
