Zero Waste BBQ

Summer is almost here, and that means cozy barbecue evenings!

To avoid a large pile of trash at the end of the evening, we've put together some useful helpers for you.

At the bottom, you'll also find some tips for a more sustainable barbecue.

On the grill

If you like to grill vegetables in addition to vegan sausages and other meat substitutes, you usually rely on aluminum grill trays. However, these are unusable after just one or a few uses. In contrast, our stainless steel grill trays can be used almost indefinitely!

Simply grease them a little, put your food on, and mushrooms, eggplant, bell peppers & co. will sizzle safely on the grill.

Marinating

So that the tofu doesn't taste like cardboard, it should be marinated ;) Stasher silicone bags are perfect for this. Simply put some oil, spices and herbs into the bag and shake well with the tofu (or vegetables, etc.). The fine mixture can then be carried directly to the grill in the bag. The bag can then be used to transport waste or wet cloths.

Salads & Co.

Those who barbecue often also eat salad. Bowl covers are very practical for transporting green salad. This way, you can take the salad in the serving bowl and only add the dressing on site.

You can also dampen the bowl cover for extra long shelf life.

Salad dressing can simply be transported in a screw-top jar or a small bottle.

For dips, ketchup & Co. you'll find these cute little chutney boxes in our shop:

No barbecue without drinks

Of course, some refreshing drinks are a must; with or without alcohol.

And they simply taste better with a straw. In our shop, you'll find colorful or silver stainless steel straws, as well as bamboo ones.

Tips for more sustainability at the barbecue

• Use what you already have: You don't necessarily need special boxes and containers. Use empty jam jars, glass containers, bowls, etc.
• Ask your guests to bring what you need or borrow it.
• Set the table with a cloth tablecloth and use fabric napkins
• Use proper dishes or ask your guests to bring their own place settings.
• Prepare your own iced tea or fruit-infused water.
• Bake your own bread. Because there's hardly anything better than freshly baked bread with potato salad :)
• Try vegan alternatives: We know it's not always easy for everyone to give up meat. However, we want to encourage you to try alternatives from time to time. Who knows, maybe the non-vegans among you will be pleasantly surprised ;)
• After grilling is before grilling: Leave the barbecue area as you would like to find it, and don't leave open fires burning.

We wish you some cheerful, cozy, exciting, and most of all delicious barbecues!
