A New Barbecue Grill Gourmetpot Was Introduced For A Summer Of Fun
A New Barbecue Grill Gourmetpot Was Introduced For A Summer Of Fun
Livonia, MI (Vocus) July 26, 2010
Gourmetpot, the newly introduced charcoal barbecue grill on Gourmetpots.com, incorporates all the outstanding features found in earlier barbecue grills with many new design and aesthetic improvements, and it will bring to the family a happy summer camping.
As it is the summer vacation now, children are free from school work, and parents are making plans to spend their spare time having fun with their children in the open air. They have many choices, like traveling, doing sports, going to museums or theatres or cinemas, and many more. Among these activities, summer camping is believed to be one way that families can have fun together and be closer to each other.
Right at this time, Gourmetpot, a portable grill is introduced to help the American family to enjoy more from the summer camping as well as other out-door activities like usual garden-front/back yard cooking, and family or friend get-together.
“In summer camping, while spending time and having fun with my family, eating delicious grill food and enjoying the view in the field makes me feel quite relaxed and satisfied,” said Eric Steven, Chief Operating Officer of Gourmetpots.com. “I believe people will fall in love with our Gourmetpot for its convenience, easiness and human-oriented design, and above-all low price.”
Here are some of Gourmetpot’s unique features: 1. environment-friendly for its smokeless grilling and no harm to human body for the lead-free clay ceramic cooking pot and interior cooking chamber; 2. versatile cooker, able to grill, smoke, bake, roast and barbeque foods of all types; 3. cool-touch surface during grilling, so parents do not have to worry about the children; 4. safety lid shock (patent pending) which protects the grill body; 5. ergonomic lid handle and fold-down shelves all made of bamboo; 6. hands-free, auto locking hinge system; 7. quick-clean porcelain coated cooking grid; 8. anti-tip quick assembly cart.
Besides, barbecue grill accessories can be purchased with Goumetpot or separately according to customers’ needs. All Gourmetpot products include a one-year warranty which covers workmanship and material.
