New Holiday Traditions Begin With the Grill

New Weber Web Site Features Videos, Tips, and Recipes for Holiday Grilling

As more consumers continue to grill year-round, preparation of traditional holiday meals are moving from the kitchen to the backyard. In fact, 53 percent of American grill owners say they are grilling all year long, according to the latest results from the Weber GrillWatch(TM) Survey. And with more and more Americans firing up their grills throughout the year, Weber has launched a new Web site devoted to the art of grilling your holiday meal. With mouthwatering recipes, grilling tips, instructional videos and even a grocery list that can be emailed to friends, this Web site at www.weber.com/holidaygrilling is sure to bring new grilling traditions to the family meal.

"Grilling your holiday meal is a great way to spice up the conventional fare, and with this Web site you can become an expert at grilling," said Jamie Purviance, author of Weber's Way to Grill(TM), a New York Times Best Seller. "One of my favorite holiday recipes is the Apple-Brined Turkey with Big Time Gravy, which features the method of brining to create a juicy, succulent bird. Many people are intimidated by grilling the holiday turkey, but by watching the demonstration video featured on the Web site there are no mistakes. You are taken step-by-step through the process so grilling becomes easy."

In addition to the Apple-Brined Turkey recipe, there are recipes for the entire holiday meal -- from side dishes such as green beans and squash, to pineapple upside-down cake for dessert. The Web site has helpful advice for grilling your main dish, and each recipe can be downloaded with the option of emailing a grocery list to make shopping easy. The site is a "one-stop shop" for creating the perfect holiday meal.
