Weber's One-Touch Platinum kettle is a serious grill for serious cooks. Its sturdy, compact design makes great use of space. The cooking surface (22-1/2 inches in diameter) is big enough to accommodate six large steaks, twice as many burgers, or up to a dozen kebabs, and the grill's classic kettle shape keeps flare-ups to a minimum.
The grill's work surface, made of durable Thermoset plastic, provides a handy place to rest platters, cutting boards, and condiments; underneath, hanging hooks keep barbecue utensils right where you need 'em. Inside the grill, convenient movable baskets hold briquettes in tight clusters, allowing you to either focus or disperse the grill's heat to suit the cuisine. Weber's clever tuck-away design allows the lid to slide back out of the way when not in use, which also creates an effective wind barrier when lighting the grill. Once the grill is hot, the glass-reinforced, heat-resistant plastic handles stay cool.
To top it all off, Weber throws in a 31-page owner's guide filled with cooking tips and time-tested recipes for grilling everything from pork chops to bratwurst to Cornish hens.
Product Description
22-1/2 inch Platinum Grill is loaded with clever extras that turn classic Weber design into a grilling machine. We start with a heat- and weather-resistant thermoset plastic work table to make grill-side seasoning and preparation easy. The grill and table are set in a rugged heavy-gauge steel tube cart frame and adorned with three handy tool holders. To facilitate indirect cooking by heaping coals on either side of the grill grate, use the Charcoal Rails charcoal fuel holders for this 22-1/2-inch model. Then we added a convenient Tuck-Away Lid Holder to create a windshield for lighting the grill (and to hold the lid while you tend to the food), and tucked a wire storage rack below. Like its little sibling the One-Touch Gold Kettle, the One-Touch Platinum Grill boasts a stainless steel One-Touch Cleaning System; a hinged cooking grate for easy, safe, and quick addition of charcoal; and a high-capacity ash catcher. The result? A kettle so fancy we had to call it Platinum.
