“The advantages of grilling with Weber are manifold. Weber grills retain the nutrients of the meat while greatly reducing the oil content one would usually use when grilling as the excess fat drips off the meat, leaving less fat in the cooked food. Grilled vegetables too retain more of their vitamins and nutrients than when cooked any other way, as in this instance too due to Weber’s advanced features the moisture is retained during the process of grilling,” said Chef Melwin.
