Women and the Weber Genesis E-320 Grill

Whether we spend our winters in a part of the country where the wind howls and the snow piles up or where the sun shines and the breeze blows off the water, Spring means grilling. Every grillmaster's fancy turns to steaks and ribs just about ready for the serving platter. In 2007, Weber, the most famous name in grilling, introduced new models for the very refpopular Genesis line of grills. The heart and soul of this line is the Weber Genesis E-320 Grill.

This beauty comes in both propane and natural gas models, as well as a choice of colors. Now there's a grill that comes in colors to accent your patio furniture. You can get classic black, but how about dark blue or green to brighten up your deck or patio? The E-320 is a step up from the E-310 which doesn't have the 12,000 BTU side burner found on the new E-320. This feature can save on you're A/C bill when you don't have to fire up your stovetop burners on a hot summer evening.

If you are already familiar with the Weber Genesis line of grills, you will be delighted to know that the E-320 retains the famous porcelain-enameled "Flavorizer Bars" which help distribute the heat and vaporize food drippings for the great grilled flavor grillmasters search for with their favorite recipes. If you have little grillmasters in training, you will be glad to know that the burner controls have been moved beyond their reach on the right side shelf. It does narrow the shelf space on the right but the added peace of mind for the safety of the children more than makes up for that.

It appears that Weber is reaching out to women grillmasters with the introduction of color choices for the Genesis model line. While most grilling products come in stainless steel or classic black, the Weber Genesis gives you alternatives to accent your deck or patio with dark blue,green or black. These colors are accented by stainless steel trim on the front, side panels and grill top.

You Grill Girl: Survey Shows Today's Women Are More Likely to Grill Than Their Moms

Yet one-third of women report not knowing enough about safe grilling practices; propane industry provides tips to help consumers protect themselves while grilling

Washington, DC (February 27, 2007) - With 34 million women using the grill a "couple of times a week" during the grilling season - and another 3.4 million cooking on it every day - this outdoor appliance can no longer be considered a male domain. These estimates, based on the results of a new survey from the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), support the finding that more women than ever are involved in the grilling process - from purchase to cooking to cleaning. Compared to when they were growing up, women today are much more likely to be the primary griller in their household (37 percent) than were their mothers (23 percent).

Nearly 40 percent of women say they are grilling more often today than in the past few years and 37 percent - nearly 21 million women - report doing more grill cooking than their significant other. During the grilling season, women beat men to the grill in their cooking frequency, saying that they tend to use it for meals at least a couple times a week (66 percent vs. 57 percent).

The survey explored reasons why Americans enjoy grilling, with a focus on convenience, food quality and time savings. Better taste topped the list (54 percent), followed by less kitchen clean-up (42 percent) and keeping the kitchen cooler (38 percent). Other reasons for cooking outdoors included ease of use (36 percent), time savings (29 percent), and healthier food (28 percent). Women placed far more emphasis than men, though, on keeping the kitchen cooler (48 vs. 28 percent) and the healthy qualities of grilled food (34 vs. 22 percent).

"Fast, easy, fresh - those three words capture the allure of the grill for busy American women," said Kate Caskin, Senior Vice President, PERC. "With its relative ease and simplicity, it's no wonder that almost 21 million women are now more likely to grill than their significant others. The propane gas grill offers the perfect dinner solution for on-the-go families."
