Ready to elevate summer braais? Meet the Weber Genesis EX-325S, your ultimate partner in effortless entertaining and mouthwatering meals. With its impressive versatility, this grill will help you master everything from juicy steaks to perfectly charred veggies, making it a breeze to cook a whole braai menu. Imagine hosting friends and family with ease while enjoying the relaxed vibes of summer. If you’re all about making every braai an event, this is the addition your backyard needs.

Master the art of making rotisserie chicken at home with the Weber Genesis. The Genesis Smart Grill allows you to roast, bake, steam or stir-fry by replacing the cooking grate with custom-fit, Weber-crafted grillware. Plus, Weber Connect smart technology helps you braai and host with ease – you’ll receive real-time food temperature alerts even when you've stepped away to refill glasses and chat with your guests so you can rest assured that your food will always be perfectly cooked.

But why stop at meat? If you haven’t tried charring lettuce at your braai, you’re in for a treat. This simple technique transforms the humble green into a smoky, flavourful delight that adds a unique twist to your spread. The high heat brings out subtle caramelisation, enhancing the lettuce’s natural sweetness and creating a satisfying texture that contrasts beautifully with grilled meat and veggies. Give it a go and watch your salads become the star of the meal!

If you’re looking to add a touch of sweetness to your braai, charred peaches and pineapple are your secret weapons. Grilling the fruit brings out its natural sweetness while adding an addictive smoky edge. Pair the grilled peaches with peppery rocket and creamy bocconcini for a salad that’s as stunning as it is delicious. Sprinkle the pineapple with masala spice for a sweet-and-spicy addition to the menu and serve with the savoury mains, or with yoghurt, torn mint leaves and a drizzle of honey.

Round off the menu with two-ingredient flatbreads. You don't have to be a pro baker to make these soft flatbreads that will mop up all the juices of this brilliant menu. Load up the flatbreads with a bit of everything – charred lettuce hearts with chilli crunch, sweet grilled peaches with creamy mozzarella and juicy, succulent rotisserie chicken.

The Weber Genesis has all your bases covered – from mains to dessert.
