Summer is fast approaching, so now is the time to start thinking about the tools of the trade for successful barbecuing.

Rinnai has introduced an innovative new grill that ensures your food will always retain its moisture and flavour. The Rinnai Crossray Infrared Grill uses infrared technology to replicate the oldest cooking method the open fire.

Grilling with the Rinnai Crossray, like cooking over a natural fire, produces a high amount of infrared energy, which is comprised of specific frequencies that are particularly beneficial for cooking food. While convection ovens use hot air to cook food, often drying it out in the process, infrared heat pushes moisture deep into the food, enhancing the flavour and providing a moist succulence. This ensures all foods, from steaks and chicken to fish and vegetables, will retain their great taste.

As there is no secondary heat element to trap grease, flare-ups are virtually eliminated drips simply vaporise, enhancing the food's natural flavour.

Another benefit of the Rinnai Crossray Infrared Grill is its efficiency. The infrared burners are ready to grill in just three minutes, and cook twice as fast as traditional burners. With shorter cooking times, grilling can become part of your everyday lifestyle, rather than a weekend event. And since infrared heats the food directly, rather than the air around it, grilling in winter won't take any longer.

Rinnai has a large selection of barbecues and barbecue accessories. The barbecues now incorporate many standard features were once optional extras. These include rotisserie kits, sideburners for wok and saucepan cooking, flame tamers to prevent fat flare-ups, temperature gauges, and heat and wind shields for even heat distribution and optimum cooking performance. Each Rinnai barbecue also comes with a cover and apron.
