Fast, fresh, and flavourful: Summer cooking with gas

When the weather heats up, the meals get lighter. Here’s how cooking with gas helps you make the most of summer.

Keep your cool in the kitchen

Summer in Aotearoa means longer days, warmer nights, and meals that match the mood. Fresh ingredients, simple recipes, and time spent outdoors with friends and whānau. Because let’s be honest, no one wants to be stuck in a hot kitchen when there’s sunshine to enjoy.

Turn up the heat (instantly)

Cooking with gas makes life easier when the weather warms up. With instant, adjustable heat, summer meals come together quickly and effortlessly. From a speedy stir-fry to perfectly cooked steak or pasta tossed with whatever’s fresh from the garden, you get the control and precision to serve up something delicious in no time.

Flavour that speaks for itself

Consistent heat helps bring out the best in seasonal produce. Vegetables stay crisp, seafood stays tender, and lighter cuts of meat cook beautifully. It’s simple, everyday cooking that still feels a little bit special.

Take it outside

When it’s time to fire up the barbecue, natural gas BBQs keep the good times going. Whether you are hosting a family feast or an impromptu dinner with friends, you can count on reliable heat from start to finish. No need to worry about running out of LPG halfway through cooking when guests are already hungry!

Ready, set, sizzle
