FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​ONE OF THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WE GET FROM CLIENTS WHEN THEY GET PRICING ON OUR BRAAIS: Why should you buy a braai made in stainless steel rather than just getting a cheaper mild steel one and replacing it when the cheaper one has had its day ?


Well, we do understand that there is a price difference between a mild steel braai and one of the braai's that we make in stainless steel. 

The one point that we normally mention is that the braai you are thinking about buying is more of an investment than just a buy and discard product..

The material is a solid all the way through metal and not a thin layer of chrome on the surface and then a metal that will rust as soon and it gets heat or exposure to the weather, and therein lies another secret. Because it does not flake or rust it is a lot more hygienic to cook on.

Then there is the cleaning aspect. You are not going to scrape off the surface covering when you wash the grid or lower compartment to get off the cooking fats and coal residue. You may get a slight colour change due to the heat ( which is called "blueing" in technical terms but it is not going to damage the integrity of the metal..

To veer off topic a bit, I recently had a call from a client saying that he could not use our braai. I was concerned that there was something wrong with the drum braai that he had purchased and asked him what the problem was ? He replied "No not a problem, just this braai is so pretty it should be put up on the wall like a picture rather than being cooked on !"

The stainless steel we use in the manufacturing process is called 304 grade and is classified as a food grade stainless steel that can be used in the hospitality industry. 

We also supply our braai's in a bright or mirror finish to make sure they are healthy and hygienic to cook on, with no hidden crevices and places for dirt and cooking residue to get trapped into.



If hyou would like any additional information please either call of email us and we will happily help.

Our Ultimate Convector Grill just got soooo much better !!

We have come up with a real easy way to make cleaning of the convector that much easier.

We noticed that the fats from cooking meats and fish would drip through the fire baskets and end up on the base of the convector grill box. We added a layer of aluminium foil as a quick fix but knew there must be a better way.

So we handed it back to the team who have now designed a removable tray that makes it so much easier to clean.

Simply remove the fire baskets baskets, pop out the tray, empty the ash and other fire debris and go ahead with cleaning all the fats from the tray.

The convector base stays that much cleaner and the time saving is incredible.

Have a look at the video below and let us know what you think. Also please go to Facebook and like and share our posts on the Ultimate Braai Experience. It is due to feedback from our Botany Braai Family members that we are able to keep improving on the products that make your entertaining such fun.

Chat soon and remember ..... it's always a good time to have a braai

Security at Sea

I NEVER THOUGH ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS !

We had an email from a client in Dutch Bermuda in the America's requesting information about hatch security bars, which made me think that this was something we should tell more boating people about.

So what this is all about is a product we designed that fits into the hatch window surround and can be removed when access is required. The locking security bar system is made in 316 grade stainless steel and is in a mirror finish for easy cleaning and maintenance.

The hatch protection bars offer peace of mind against unwanted "visitors" to the boat and also secures family members inside during "at sea" or moored periods.

The security bars can be removed and stored and are simply slid into the sockets in the surround and padlocked in place. Installation requires fairly precise marking and drilling to insert the sockets.

If this could be of interest to you or someone you know, we would love you for forward this to them, like our post on FaceBook and then arrange to contact us at Botany with sizes of the hatch to be protected for us to get you a quote and time line for the production of your security bars.
