One of those flavours is vanilla, so adding a little bit of our Soy Sauce to all sorts of dishes from icecream, chocolate sauce, to cheesecakes and brownies, subtly increases the flavour.

General BBQ Tips
Use separate plates and utensils for raw and cooked food.
- Brush the food with oil, not the barbecue, as this can cause flare-ups and result in burnt food.
- Don’t pierce sausages before barbecuing, as this releases juices and makes them dry.
- Leave the barbecue on about 5 minutes after you’ve finished cooking to burn off any baked-on food. Then turn off and scrape with a stiff brush and a little water.
- When your barbecue is clean, lightly brush with cooking oil to help prevent rusting..
