Nothing says “summer” like a BBQ with family and friends! There's just one little rub - the hassle of charcoal. Enter the BIC™ FlameDisk® a portable, outdoor grilling solution. It looks like a disposable metal cooking container with holes but uses ethanol (from corn) as the main fuel ingredient. It is easy to use simply peel off the film cover exposing the holes, light the fuel through any one of the outer holes and then grill. It saves time and chef Rob Rossi, 2011 Top Chef Canada contestant and owner of new Toronto restaurant, Bestellen agrees."While I’m inspired every day to create and cook for my customers, I’m a big fan of barbecuing; it’s such an authentic and fun way to cook and provides a form of entertainment which is relaxed and casual with very little clean-up. Whether you’re camping, boating, day tripping, urban BBQing, or looking for a family gathering on a moment’s notice, the BIC™ FlameDisk® is a quick and convenient outdoor barbequing solution!”
