Lidl is selling a £4 tool that will help you perfect your BBQs this summer
LIDL shoppers can get a new BBQ tool for just £4 that will help you cook your chicken perfectly.
The Grillmeister Barbecue Chicken Roaster is landing in Lidl stores this Thursday as a middle aisle buy.
That means you’ll need to act fast to snap it up as once it’s gone, it’s gone.
The BBQ tool costs just £3.99 and Lidl says it will help you get “perfectly cooked chicken” that’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
The accessory is made from stainless steel and is suitable for ovens and BBQs with lids.
It comes with a container for seasoning liquids as the chicken is flavoured during the barbecuing process.
The tool is also suitable for other types of poultry.
In comparison, Amazon has a chicken barbeque rack for a more expensive £6.99 while the Big Green Egg charges £20.
The Lidl deal comes just as the weather finally starts to heat up again.
A heatwave could hit parts of the UK this week as temperatures soar to highs of 29C, the Met Office has said.
The warm air is set to push temperatures as high as 29C by Friday.
More BBQ items will also be dropping in the Middle of Lidl this Thursday.
If you’re in need of the BBQ itself, you can pick up the Grillmeister Ceramic Barbecue for £79.99.
Alternatively if you’d rather cook pizzas in the garden you can get the Grillmeister Gas Pizza Oven for the same price.
There are also plenty of accessories, including the Grillmeister Cast Iron Grill Pan or the Cast Iron Griddle for £14.99 each.
Burger fans can get the Burger Press for £3.99 or the Burger Cloche for the same price.
Or they can get a three-piece Burger Kit for £6.99 which includes a burger press, turner and burger bell for cooking in a gratin style.
Again if pizza is more your thing, you can get a Pizza Cutter for £6.99 or a Pizza Peel Paddle for the same price.
There is also a 12-piece set of BBQ utensils including a knife, fork, spatula, tongs, skewers and corn skewers for £19.99.
Government advice on BBQ safety
The UK Government have issued some guidelines for staying safe whilst using a barbecue:
- Keep a bucket of water, sand or a garden hose nearby for emergencies.
- Follow the safety instructions provided with your gas, charcoal, or disposable barbecue.
- Never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan.
- Use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, but not more (normally around 5cms or 2 inches).
- Keep children, pets and garden games away from the cooking area.
- After cooking, make sure the barbecue is cool before moving it.
- Empty ashes onto bare garden soil, not into dustbins or wheelie bins. If they’re hot, they can melt the plastic and cause a fire.
- Make sure your barbecue is well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste.
- In the countryside or public park areas, only use disposable barbecues where there are specially designated areas and carefully follow the safety guidance.
- Enjoy yourself, but don’t drink too much alcohol if you are in charge of the barbecue.
- Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or starter fuels on cold coals.
Joy for Wynne Evans as he gets engaged after months of hell following Strictly drama
STRICTLY star Wynne Evans is to marry his girlfriend after proposing on holiday in Morocco.
The opera singer, 53, got down on one knee in Marrakesh on Saturday to propose to Liz Brookes who has loyally stood by him following his axing by the BBC.
The happy couple are expected to wed next year.
Wynne shared snaps of the happy occasion and told fans: “Big news… I got engaged!
“This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I’ve checked.)
“She’s clever, she’s kind, she’s got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are!
“Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug.”
A source told The Sun: “It has been a tumultuous six months for Wynne but Liz has been his absolute rock throughout.
“Finally some wonderful news for Wynne and his inner circle to celibate and everyone is chuffed for them both.
“He secretly bought an engagement ring and squirrelled it away for their holiday, and then popped the question over champagne.
“Liz has been incredible over the past few months, supporting him through thick and thin, and had his back throughout, but obviously Wynne is telling everyone she’s a lucky girl!” Liz, 50, who runs her own successful events company in Cardiff, met the star at one of her do’s in Wales.
He asked her out for a coffee the next day, and they have been together for the past 18 months.
News of the engagement comes after the BBC confirmed it would not be renewing the Go Compare frontman’s rolling contract.
It followed a protracted internal investigation into claims he used an inappropriate sexual term at the official photocall of the Strictly tour in January.
Wynne was previously married to wife of 16 years, Tanwen, with whom he has two kids.
They divorced in 2016 which, he later revealed, saw his mental health plummet and left him feeling suicidal.
Wynne, who was partnered with Katya Jones on Strictly, was seen being cheered on by Liz in the audience.
Speaking about his disappointment about being dropped by the Beeb, the 2023 Celebrity Masterchef winner said: “My beloved Wynners, From the very depths of my heart — thank you.
“These past few months, your love has been the light in my darkest days. Every message, every word of encouragement, every moment you stood by me has carried me through more than you could ever know.
“It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract so I won’t be returning to my radio show. I’m gutted.”
Wynne has now copyrighted his name and will be launching his own radio show.
Wynne Evans' Strictly scandals
‘Grope’
Wynne encountered a backlash after his Strictly pro partner Katya was filmed removing his hand from her waist.
Fans insisted she looked uncomfortable as she moved it away – but Katya later insisted there was no problem.
In joke
They then sparked further fury, when she was seen refusing to high-five the Opera singer.
The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent “inside joke”.
Crude joke
Wynne came under fire for allegedly telling a “crude” joke to one of the show’s make-up artists.
Insiders claim the opera star made a joke that the folds of his double chin “looked like a vagina”.
A source said: “It was a bit of a vulgar dad joke.”
Vile comment
Wynne was recorded suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.
His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.
He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.
Wynne has apologised saying: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
