Preheat the grill on the high heat setting for about 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to the steam setting and add your food. For each model, you can choose to either have the barbecue free-standing, which means you need a sturdy surface like an outside table to sit it on, or you have the option of buying it with the purpose-built stand. Removing the two screws holding the element in place is easy enough, allowing you to clean the element and the grill’s interior.

Design and features

My first impression of the Weber Lumin was how easy it is to set-up. It was ready to go in minutes and it reached incredibly high temperatures. As someone new to barbecuing, I found it very easy to use and was amazed by the amount of things it could do, from steaming gyozas to perfectly searing steak, shrimp and pork and pineapple skewers. Dan Cooper from Weber UK has been working on this recipe for several years and we think he may have just Read More > Since the juices from the wings dripped onto the red hot element below, vaporising in the process and creating flavoursome smoke, I honestly couldn’t have told you whether they were grilled on charcoal or gas, let alone electric. They had genuine barbecue flavour – and without the extra faff that charcoal and gas brings to the table.

This is the perfect grill for urban and balcony use, where a big gas BBQ isn't suitable, or where charcoal is not allowed. The compact size, and Store and Go design makes this space-efficient, easy to store, and easy to transport, without sacrificing on taste or build quality. It also heats up fast and can be plopped safely on to any outdoor table (the heating element is slightly elevated, so even if you don’t get the dedicated grill stand, you shouldn’t do damage to whatever the grill is sitting on). Especially for an electric, the Lumin is a good grill. It requires fewer compromises than lots of other plug-in models. What can you do with the Weber Lumin? If you’re looking for something to take on the road camping, hiking, or traveling then the Weber Lumin is a fantastic choice. It will give you a lot of the versatility of a full-sized grill in a compact and portable design that can go virtually anywhere. When you’re finished grilling, simply turn the dial to “off” and unplug the unit. This Weber electric grill is compact enough to store inside or outside. We found it fit easily on a shelf in the garage or underneath most outdoor cooking tables. I think that having a steam function on this grill is a huge selling point. Not many grills are equipped to steam food and there are some foods that just taste better when they’ve been steamed. It’s a great option for vegetables, seafood, shellfish, and other delicate foods that just don’t need to be exposed to the high heat grilling function. Cleaning the Weber Lumin

Create high-quality sear marks with an electric barbecue that reaches really hot temperatures—over 315°C We love using charcoal and pellet grills because of their ability to infuse smoky flavor into the food. Even gas grills add an element of char from direct access to the open flames. So while the Lumin was able to produce stellar grill marks and delicious, evenly-cooked food, we missed the element of fire.

The biggest question that everyone will have adopting an electric grill is how does the food taste? Grill companies are fighting a battle to erase memories of heated-up food on a George Foreman grill. While we were expecting the Lumin to be a full-size electric grill, it turned out to be another portable design. That leaves the question of, what about the Weber Pulse? The Weber Pulse is an electric grill that has already been on the market for some time. Stow and go—compact and space-efficient design makes this barbecue easy to store and access for your next gathering For its first foray into the electric BBQ world, Weber has decided to use a portable format. A grab-and-go device, the Weber Lumin can be set up and cooked on in minutes, and stored away when not in use. The cord is only six feet, too, so you’ll want to plan on being pretty close to your electricity source. Weber says you can use a 16 AWG gauge extension cord with a maximum length of 20 feet, but they recommend keeping it as short as possible.
