Weber-Stephen Products, the company known for its line of kettle, charcoal and gas grills has released a new app for the popular iPad computer.
The new "On the Grill" app sells for $4.99 in the iTunes store, and includes more than 250 recipes for meat, chicken, fish, pork and vegetables. It includes step by step instructions on making 40 different barbecue sauces and rubs. Each recipe includes high resolution, clearly defined photographs of the finished product that can be enlarged with the tap of a finger.
Users can even make notes and additions to each recipes for substitutions, or flag the most popular dishes. The program also features tips, tricks, shopping lists, menu suggestions and dozens of instructional how-to videos for the aspiring home grillmaster. Users can tag their favorite recipes and even use the app's included timer that sounds off when the food is done.
The app's recipes come from past Weber cookbook titles, including Weber's Way to Grill, Weber's Real Grilling, and Weber's Charcoal Grilling, all written by James Beard award nominee Jamie Purviance.
"On the Grill" is the the company's latest foray into new media, which began last year with an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
