Is barbecuing with the GRILL & CHILL lunchbox unhealthy?

The short answer is: No, barbecuing itself is not unhealthy, but the way you barbecue can be.

The potential health risks mainly arise when meat is cooked at very high temperatures over an open fire and fat drips into the flames. This can produce substances such as **polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)** and **heterocyclic amines (HAAs)**.

With the Grill & Chill Lunchbox you are on the safer side right from the start. The bamboo charcoal glows evenly and **flamelessly**. This eliminates the dripping of fat into open flames, which significantly reduces the formation of PAHs. So you can enjoy a pure barbecue experience where the focus is on the delicious taste of your barbecue food and not the potential risks.

What are HEATRings and how do they work?

HEATRings are innovative, self-igniting charcoal rings that have been specially developed for grilling with your HEAT.me GRILL & CHILL lunchbox. They are made of pressed charcoal material and contain an integrated lighter. As soon as they are lit, they glow evenly and generate the necessary heat for your barbecuing pleasure.

How many HEATRings do I need for grilling and how long does it take until they are ready to grill?

You usually need 12 HEATRings for a barbecue with your HEAT.me GRILL & CHILL lunchbox. They are extremely quick: in just 5 minutes after lighting, the HEATRings are ready to grill and cook your food.

Can I also use HEATRings indoors?

No, under no circumstances! Danger to life from carbon monoxide! HEATRings may only be used outdoors - never in closed rooms, tents, mobile homes or vehicles. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and deadly gas that is produced during combustion. Always ensure adequate ventilation outdoors.

Are HEATRings reusable or can I use additional kindling?

No, HEATRings are designed for single use and are not reusable. They are self-igniting and already contain all the necessary components for ignition. It is therefore not necessary and even dangeroususe additional lighting aids or liquids.

How do I dispose of the ashes from the HEATRings after grilling?

About 24g of ash remains after grilling. It is extremely important not to dispose of the ash until it is Completely cooled down to avoid the risk of fire. The cooled ash can then be disposed of in the household waste or, as it is pure wood ash, in the garden.

How do I dispose of the ash water safely?

After grilling, extinguish the remaining charcoal with water. The disposal of this ash water depends on where you are:

• In nature or in public places (without a sink):
  Out of consideration for the environment, you should never pour the ash-water mixture into the ground or a body of water. Take all residues (ash and water) home with you in a securely sealed container.
• At home (with sink):
  Simply rinse the box in the sink after it has cooled down. Our waste water systems are designed to process even these small quantities. This is the simplest and most practical method for disposal at home.

This ensures that your barbecuing pleasure leaves no trace in the environment.
