Coles has launched a range of barbecue basting sauces, seasoning and rubs featuring new built-in washable brushes and adjustable grinders.

The new products are an extension of the existing Coles Grill range, which features high quality marinated meats, according to Blair Smethurst, head of Coles Product and Innovation.

“The Coles Grill range has always set out to make inspirational food accessible to the budding chef on their home barbecue. We are particularly proud to offer the new range of sauce bottles which incorporate a world first built-in washable basting brush, to help make barbecuing a little easier for Aussies without sacrificing taste.”

The eight flavour blends include hot Caribbean Kick Seasoning, borrowed from the jerk style of cooking which is both sweet and spicy, and Harissa Heat Seasoning, taken from the intense flavours of North Africa.

The products are available at Coles from $4.99.
