Your Weber Q offers incredible flexibility, allowing you to bake a wide variety of goods, from cookies and brownies to bread, right on your barbecue. By using indirect heat (with the help of a convection tray and trivet), your Weber Q transforms into an oven, providing the perfect environment for creating delicious desserts, baked treats, breads, and much more! 

WHAT IS INDIRECT COOKING?

The indirect cooking method is used for roasting, baking, and low and slow cooking. Food is not cooked directly over a heat source or directly on the cooking grill above a heat source.   

Indirect cooking is recommended for foods that will take longer than 20 minutes to cook to completion. For example, larger cuts of meat-like whole chickens, whole joints of meat, pizzas and baked foods- generally don’t need to be turned at all during the cooking process. 

HOW TO SET UP YOUR WEBER Q FOR INDIRECT BAKING

When used together, a trivet and convection tray transform your Weber Q from barbecue mode to oven mode in seconds. The trays are engineered with vents designed to circulate heat above, below, and all around the food for perfectly even cooking. There’s a perfectly sized trivet and convection tray (also known as a roasting pack) available for every Weber Q.  

Step 1: Ensure that both cooking grills (not a hotplate) are in the barbecue. 

Step 2: Place the convection tray horizontally in the centre of your cooking grill. Place a roasting trivet on top of the convection tray. 

Step 3: Add your baked goods to the barbecue. You can use baking trays, cake tins, or even better, a Weber Q Ware Frying Pan! Just ensure the edges of the tray don’t protrude beyond the trivet.

Hot Tips

• For baking, you will need a tray or dish to place your food in or on before placing it onto the roasting trivet. The Weber Q Casserole dish and frying pan are both great for baking, but barbecue-safe baking trays, cake tins, or muffin trays are also suitable. 
• Breads and pastries are best cooked at Indirect Medium Heat (190°C to 230°C)
