A BBQ Probably Isn't Your First Date Night Thought. It Should Be.

Take the Date Somewhere Different

One of the nicest things about cooking on a Konro is that you're not tied to one place. You're not waiting for a table or trying to finish before the restaurant needs it back, and you’re not stuck inside a boiling hot building when the weather is beautiful outside.

Instead, you can choose somewhere quiet that you’ll enjoy spending the evening. Your own garden is perfect, but equally, somewhere with a view, a peaceful beach or a local picnic area can make the evening feel a little more memorable.

The Konro is compact enough to travel comfortably in the boot of the car, making it easy to take with you when the occasion calls for it. Once you're there, all that's left to do is light the charcoal.

Keep the Food Simple

This isn't the evening to test your most ambitious recipe. A few quality ingredients cooked well will almost always beat trying to juggle six different dishes at once.

King prawns, scallops, mushrooms and grilled flatbreads all work brilliantly on a Konro, while a few simple sides are often all you need to round things off. The beauty of cooking over charcoal is that the ingredients don't need much help.

Cooking smaller dishes also means food can be served as it comes off the grill, keeping the evening relaxed rather than waiting for everything to be ready at exactly the same time.

Why the Konro Works So Well

The Konro naturally suits this style of cooking. Its compact design keeps cooking efficient and simple, making it easy to chat whilst keeping an eye on the food.

Because the cooking area is smaller, each ingredient gets the attention it deserves, whether you're quickly grilling sausages or giving a steak the perfect sear over the charcoal.

If you're looking to add a little more flexibility, a Grill and Chapa lets you grill and cook on a solid, flat surface at the same time. It's ideal for ingredients like asparagus, onions or peppers while your main dish cooks alongside.

Try a More Relaxed Way to Eat

Often, a more relaxed approach to grilling can be more enjoyable. Instead of trying to cook everything at once, prepare a selection of ingredients and cook them in stages throughout the evening, serving each dish as it’s ready. The Konro heats up quickly, making it ideal for cooking smaller portions as you go while keeping conversation flowing naturally.

This style of eating is similar to a raclette evening, where the experience is just as important as the meal itself. A Konro lends itself perfectly to this approach, especially with a tabletop grill rack for cooking a wider range of smaller dishes.

Planning Your Next Date Night

A good date night doesn't need weeks of planning or an expensive restaurant booking. Sometimes, all it takes is a change of scenery, good food and a little bit of effort.

A Konro Grill won't plan the evening for you, but it does make it easy to cook somewhere different and enjoy the process just as much as the meal itself. And, if all goes well… the grilling won’t be the only quickie the night has to offer!

FAQs

Can I use a Konro Grill on an outdoor dining table?

Yes. One of the Konro's standout features is its vermiculite lining, which helps prevent excessive heat transferring to the surface beneath it. This means it won't scorch a suitable outdoor dining table, making it ideal for relaxed tabletop cooking. Always place it on a stable, level surface and follow the recommended safety guidance.

Is a Konro Grill suitable for cooking for two?

Absolutely. A Konro is perfectly sized for cooking smaller meals without feeling excessive. Its compact cooking area is ideal for preparing a variety of ingredients for two people, allowing you to cook fresh dishes in stages while spending more time together and less time managing a large barbecue.

What is the purpose of the Grill & Chapa?

The combination of grill bars and a flat cooking surface lets you prepare vegetables, seafood and delicate foods alongside steaks or skewers without constantly changing your cooking setup.

What accessories are available for a Konro Grill?

There are several accessories available to get even more from your Konro Grill. Options include a Grill and Chapa for greater cooking versatility, a tabletop grill rack for serving smaller dishes, a carry bag for transport and a cover for storage, plus skewer stands and other accessories to expand your cooking possibilities.

Can I take a Konro Grill on a date outdoors?
A Konro Grill is a great way to enjoy a BBQ somewhere different, whether that’s in your garden or further afield where BBQs are permitted. Just make sure you choose a suitable location, follow local guidance and avoid using your Asado in areas where dry conditions could increase the risk of fire.
