HOW TO CLEAN WEBER Q RECIPES

Steps:

• When you are ready to start you will need to get your Weber Q ready for convection oven cooking. Place a new convection tray onto the grill, noticing that Weber Q trays will line up with the holes on the grill, this will prevent movement. Then place a trivet on top of the convection tray.
• Turn on the gas bottle that is connected to your Weber Q and turn both control knobs to the START/HI position. Then push the ignition switch to fire up the BBQ. If you have a Weber Q Baby then turn the control knob to START/HI. If you have 2 meat probes handy, then this is the time to rest the first probe onto the convection tray. This will give you the temperature of the Weber Q BBQ. Run at this setting for 10-15 minutes to get the Weber Q nice and hot, with the lid closed.
• While your Weber Q is heating up, now is the time to prep your leg of lamb. Begin by pealing and cutting fresh garlic cloves into small 1cm pieces. You will need about 12-14 small blocks of garlic.
• Cut 12-14 small pieces of fresh rosemary.
• Make 12-14, 2cm cuts across the lamb and place 1 piece of sliced garlic and rosemary into each insicion. Making sure to bury the garlic but leave a small amount of rosemary sticking out, so as to remove it later upon serving.
• Baste olive oil over the leg of lamb making sure the entire leg is covered.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper as desired.
• Roasting the Leg of Lamb

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to score the pork skin leaving a gap of about 2 centimetres between each mark, being careful not to cut into the flesh underneath.
• Sprinkle a generous amount of granulated salt over the entire surface of the skin. Don't worry about working it into the parts you have scored. This is to draw out any moisture trapped within the skin so you can double your chances of getting the perfect crackle. Cover and let pork get up to room temperature for a couple of hours.

• While your Weber Q is heating up, now is the time to prep your roast pork for the second time. Rub a large amount of sea salt flakes onto the skin, making sure to work the salt into every score mark that you made previously. Then splash a generous amount extra virgin olive oil over the skin, including the bottom and sides of the pork. Lastly proceed to sprinkle more sea salt over the skin making sure to check you haven't missed any spots that have been scored. Now it's ready to be blasted with heat!
• Place the pork onto the centre of the Trivet, and if the Weber is hot enough you will hear it sizzle. Now is the time to insert your other meat probe into the centre of the pork. If your roast has a bone, make sure the probe does not make contact with it, as this will give you a false internal temperature reading of the pork. Make sure you remember to close the lid to stop heat from escaping.
• If you have the Medium or Family Q series turn down the small control knob to the LOW position and leave the large control knob in the HI position. If you have a Weber Q Baby then don't change any positions on the control knob and continue with this method. Leave your pork roast for at least 25 to 30 min at this setting and please avoid the temptation of lifting the lid to check if the crackle process has begun.
• After 30 minutes the pork will already have crackle. By this stage, you are welcome to take a to peek. Next, you need to turn the smaller control knob to the OFF position, and the large control knob to the ROAST position. As seen in the above image.
• The temperature will be high at first but turning the control knob to the medium position will soon bring the temperature down. And don't worry you won't burn the roast. Keep the roast at between 190°C to 230°C or 375°F to 450°F at all times. You can maintain this easily by keeping an eye on your temperature and adjusting the control between HI and Medium as required.
• Once the internal temperature of the pork has reached 45°C or 113°F, it is time to add any vegetables that are required for roasting. Place your vegetables around the roast pork, so they can absorb the smokey aroma and flavors of the pork.
• Monitor the temperature of the Weber Q and meat throughout the cooking process with your meat probe. Once the internal temperature of the pork has reached 155°F or 68°C lift the lid and remove the meat probe, making sure to wear gloves so as not to burn yourself. Place the pork onto a serving plate and set aside to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. This will bring the internal temperature to around 160°F or 71°C which is considered safe for eating. After resting remove the crackling and break up into bite-size pieces. Carve your meat and serve with roast vegetables and ENJOY!
