Achieving perfect results with Weber racks

A Weber roasting rack helps you serve up tender cooked meat that’s sure to impress. The meat will be elevated on top of the stainless-steel grates, allowing you to slow roast for longer using the indirect heat cooking method.

Roasting shields for indirect heat

Always place a Weber roasting shield underneath when using a roasting rack. Apart from preventing the bottom of the meat from burning, it can also make the cleaning of your Weber barbecue that much easier.

Roasting shields help you to perfect the indirect heat style of barbecuing. They prevent the flames from reaching and drying out the meat, encouraging the heat to circulate from its source at the side of your Weber Gourmet BBQ System.

Using the indirect heat cooking method with Weber gas or charcoal barbecues you can smoke your chosen meat and deepen its flavours.

Endless barbecue possibilities with Weber grilling racks

Whatever the meat, you can be confident it will roast succulently on a Weber grill rack. Why limit your barbecuing when Weber can deliver time after time?

The perfect meal with Weber racks and roasters

Weber cooking accessories help you to achieve gourmet results that’ll become the main attraction of each barbecue you host. Here we present a selection of the tantalising treats that you could be serving your guests.

Using the poultry roaster for crowd pleasing chicken

A staple of al fresco dining, chicken can become a little dry. However, Weber’s Poultry Roaster retains the crispness and moisture. There’s space for a 330 ml can of cola or beer, sitting inside the whole chicken whilst being barbecued. Or make a gravy from the juices saved in Weber’s Deluxe Poultry Roaster.

Tender rib meat falling off the bone with Weber rib racks

Achieve ribs that fall off the bone with the official Weber Rib Rack. Place it on your Weber cooking grates and load it with up to five racks of ribs. They’ll cook vertically, so you can fit more of your guests’ main courses on the barbecue.

Preparing rich lamb racks

Savour the best lamb racks you’ve ever tasted with roasting racks. The Deluxe Barbecuing Rack’s support wires can hold up to four racks of ribs, meaning everyone gets fed quicker.

Cooking all at once with the grilling rack

Holding a legendary barbecue becomes possible as everything is grilled in one place. Forget multiple trips to the kitchen and cooking in different pans when you use the Weber Grilling Rack.

It gives you more cooking space to rustle up a variety of sumptuous snacks, including:

• Toasted bread
• Starters
• Vegetable garnishes.

The versatile Weber Grilling Rack acts as a second grate that stands over your main cooking grate. This roasting rack offers another tier to cut down your guests’ wait time whilst you’re whipping up burgers, grilling their toppings and toasting their bread.
