You don’t want to bite a raw potato next to a totally dehydrated courgette. Cook at the right tempo Controlling timing of a barbeque has never been easy. Especially when it comes to having everyone together at the table on time. But at least we can make sure all our vegetables are cooked to perfection and served at the right temperature.
