5X Outdoor cooking with style

As the days begin to shorten, the leaves fall and the cold sets in, we can once again warm ourselves literally and figuratively by the better outdoor bbq. This autumn, these trends are only going to get stronger. With the prospect of a Christmas and New Year party in the bubble, many Belgians are planning a winter party…Outside! We put the 5 most stylish outdoor kitchens in a row.

Ofyr, the ring of fire

Maybe in these times of social distancing, the Ofyr is the most social appliance of all. To call the Ofyr a barbecue is to do it an injustice. The round fire tray was invented by the Dutchman Hans Goossens. He thought that BBQ was not necessarily a social event, at least not for the baker on duty. Around an Ofyr, however, it is a cosy get-together. A few logs are lit and a cosy fire then provides scorching heat on the circular griddle. And: everyone comes to the bake!

Goossens still enjoys cooking with the OFYR every time. “It’s an adventurous way of cooking. We actually just love to light a good fire!” But as a lover of aesthetics, Hans is particularly proud of the timeless design, which complements any type of garden. Thanks to the new products, OFYR has been transformed into an outdoor lifestyle concept. Hans’s vision is evident in every item in the collection. “We at OFYR as a company are full of new ideas for the future to further ignite our vision of true connection.”

Ooni, the style king of pizza ovens

One of our editors’ recent trips to Napoli was to taste the real pizza. In this southern, vibrant city, the pizza Margherita was invented. Princess Marghereta loved the round slice with tomatoes and mozzarella. Today, the city still has numerous pizzaiolo’s who all swear by the ‘real deal’. The essential thing is that the pizza has the typical ‘black spots’ of the baking process. This, however, can only be obtained at temperatures of 400° and above.

Enter ‘Ooni, the pizza oven‘. The pizza oven has a highly aesthetic shape, but above all it allows you to fire the oven to 400° and more in no time at all. This can be done traditionally on wood but also on gas. Your pizza doesn’t have to stay in the oven longer than two minutes before it’s ready. So with this appliance, you can throw a highly successful pizza party!

Slow cooking made easy: the Big Green Egg

If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that it can also be slow. The Big Green Egg ‘kamado’ is precisely what makes slow cooking its greatest asset. The Big Green Egg makes the art of preparing a tasty piece of pulled pork at a low temperature a piece of cake. The big green ‘egg’ is also a stylish element on your terrace. In addition to slow cooking, you can also grill straight away at high temperature or ‘smoke’ your meat or fish. Anyone a great smoked salmon with sour cream?

Smoking Joe and its barrel: the Oklahoma

Give me a break: it could just as easily have been a title from the better Lucky Luke. But make no mistake: ‘smoking‘ is on the rise! “American standing with the romance of a train‘ is the slogan of this American hit. And that is not a lie. The Oklahoma does indeed look like a steam train. And you can take that quite literally. Via an insightful system of heat and steam, your pieces of meat will be served even tastier. Moreover, they ‘claim’ that this technique grills the meat in a healthy way and therefore contains no toxic substances. Enjoy!

Instantaneous camping feeling with the tripod Junko of Barbecook

Fitting into the trend of ‘Back to Basics‘ is cooking on a campfire. The principles of the age-old way of cooking are retained, but get a stylish upgrade with the tripod ‘Junko’ by Barbecook. Once you have lit the fire – let that scout in you wake up again – you place the beautiful tripod over it. You can then place a cast-iron cooking pot or grill plate on it. Thanks to the rocking movement, the food gets a nice, even heating. With Junko, Barbecook launches a starter kit for those who want to grill in a pioneering, adventurous and tough way. The kit contains a tripod, a fire bowl and a grid.
