From quick grilling to slow smoking sessions, this model has it all to create unique outdoor dining experiences.
High Quality Materials
The Master-Touch Premium is made with a vitrified steel bowl and lid, a material that guarantees resistance to extreme heat, prevents warping and ensures even heat distribution. This design is designed to last, even in adverse weather conditions, thanks to its coating that prevents corrosion and keeps the aesthetics impeccable for years. Sturdy hardened thermoplastic wheels and reinforced handles complete a construction that stands up to intensive use, making it easy to transport on any surface, be it grass, stone or pavement.
Innovation with the Gourmet BBQ System (GBS)
The exclusive GBS system transforms this barbecue into a real cooking centre. Its stainless steel grill with a modular design allows the integration of various accessories, such as pizza stones, meat griddles or stir-fry woks. This means you can prepare a wide variety of dishes, from handmade pizzas to oriental stir-fries, greatly expanding the possibilities for your outdoor gatherings. With this feature, every meal can be unique, adapting to the menu you have in mind.
Precision Smoking with Low-n-Slow
The One-Touch system, combined with the low-n-slow setting, takes the smoking experience to another level. The diffuser plate and charcoal ring ensure a constant and controlled airflow, ideal for slow cooking and techniques such as smoking. This design allows you to cook ribs, briskets or delicate fish with a deep, distinctive flavour. In addition, the integrated thermometer in the lid offers precise temperature control without the need to open the barbecue, maintaining a constant heat and optimising charcoal consumption.
Enhanced Functionality
The removable hinged lid simplifies access to the grill, eliminating the need to search for a place to put it while cooking. In addition, the iGrill thermometer holder (sold separately) allows you to monitor the internal temperature from your smartphone, giving you full control over the cooking process. This combination of functionality and technology ensures consistent results and a comfortable cooking experience even during prolonged cooking.
One-Touch Efficient Cleaning System
Maintenance is quick and easy thanks to the One-Touch cleaning system, which includes a large capacity removable ash tray. This mechanism allows ash to be removed cleanly and efficiently, leaving more time to enjoy your meal and less time to worry about cleaning. In addition, the One-Touch system makes it easy to adjust the temperature, ensuring that each preparation has the perfect cooking environment.

The Master-Touch Premium is available in two models to suit different needs. The E-5770 model includes all the main functions and is ideal for any user looking for a versatile and functional barbecue. On the other hand, the E-5775 model adds a special GBS grill for marking meats, offering a professional finish for lovers of perfect cuts. Both models stand out for their elegant black design, with the same size and exceptional quality.

Step-by-Step Maintenance and Use of the Master-Touch Premium Ø 57 cm
The
Master-Touch Premium Ø 57 cm is designed to provide an exceptional cooking experience while being easy to maintain. By following these steps, you can ensure optimal performance and a long service life for your barbecue.
1. Preparation Before Cooking:
- Ensure that the grill is clean and free of any residue from previous cooks.
- Check that the ash tray is empty and positioned correctly for optimal airflow.
- Place the required amount of charcoal in the charcoal ring or directly in the included dividers, depending on the cooking technique you will be using (direct or indirect).
2. Lighting the Charcoal:
- Use a charcoal lighter (chimney starter) to start the fire quickly and evenly.
- Avoid flammable liquids to preserve the natural flavour of the food.
3. Temperature Control:
- Adjust the lower and upper vent valves to control airflow and internal temperature.
- For high-temperature cooking, open both valves fully.
- For smoking or slow cooking, use the ‘low-n-slow’ setting on the One-Touch system to limit airflow.
4. During Cooking:
- Use the built-in thermometer in the lid to monitor the internal temperature without opening the lid.
- If you are using the iGrill thermometer, connect the probes and check the levels from your smartphone.
- Turn the food with tongs or long spatulas, avoiding piercing it so as not to lose juices.
5. Cleaning After Each Use:
- Allow the remaining charcoal to burn out completely with the valves closed to extinguish the fire.
- Once cool, remove the ashes using the One-Touch system and empty the removable ash tray.
- Clean the grill with a stainless steel brush while it is still warm to remove food debris more easily.
6. Periodic Cleaning (Monthly or According to Use):
- Wash the cooking grate and charcoal separators with warm water and mild detergent.
- Check the vent valves to ensure they are not clogged with grease or ash.
- Clean the bowl and lid with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt.
7. Proper Storage:
- Store the barbecue in a place protected from the elements, or use an official Weber cover to protect it from moisture and dust.
- If the barbecue is exposed to the elements, regularly check the wheels and handles to ensure they are in good condition.
8. Long-Term Maintenance:
- Periodically inspect parts such as the hinge system and air regulators to verify that they are in good condition.
- Apply lubricant to moving parts if you notice difficulty opening or closing the valves.
- If any parts show significant wear, use genuine Weber replacement parts to ensure optimal performance.
Whole Charcoal-Grilled Sea Bass with Lemon and Dill
Charcoal-grilled sea bass is a delicious and healthy option that combines the smoky flavour of the barbecue with the freshness of lemon and dill. Thanks to the temperature control of the
Master-Touch Premium Ø 57 cm, this recipe is easy to prepare with perfect results.
Ingredients (Serves 2-4)
- 2 whole sea bass (approximately 1 kg each), cleaned.
- 2 lemons (one for slices and one for juice).
- 1 bunch of fresh dill (you can also use thyme or parsley as an alternative).
- 4 cloves of garlic, sliced.
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Apple or cherry wood chips (optional, for a smoky flavour).
Step by Step: Preparation and Cooking
1. Preparing the Barbecue:
Start by cleaning the GBS cooking grate and emptying the ash pan. Place charcoal briquettes in the charcoal ring or spacers, arranging them to create two heat zones: direct and indirect. This will allow the fish to cook slowly in the indirect zone.
If you want to add a smoky flavour, soak the wood chips in water for 20 minutes, drain them and place them on the hot coals just before you start cooking.
2. Preparing the sea bass:
Wash and dry the sea bass with kitchen paper. Make 3-4 diagonal cuts on both sides of each fish so that the flavours penetrate during cooking. Stuff the inside of each sea bass with lemon slices, fresh dill and garlic slices. Then, brush the outside of the fish with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Lighting the Charcoal and Controlling the Temperature:
Light the charcoal using a chimney starter. Once the briquettes are covered with a thin layer of white ash, place them on one side of the barbecue to maintain indirect heat. Close the barbecue lid and allow it to reach an internal temperature of
180-200 °C (controllable with the thermometer built into the lid).
4. Cooking the sea bass:
Place the sea bass on the grill in the indirect heat zone, away from the coals. Close the lid to maintain the heat and adjust the ventilation valves as necessary. If you are using wood chips, this is when they will begin to release a mild smoky aroma.
The ideal internal temperature for sea bass should reach
60 °C in the thickest part of the fish. Use a digital thermometer, such as the iGrill, to check the temperature without having to constantly open the lid.
5. Cooking time and technique:
Allow the sea bass to cook for approximately
20-25 minutes, turning them carefully after 10-12 minutes. Be sure to use large tongs or spatulas to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
6. Finishing Touch:
When the sea bass reaches
60°C internally and the flesh is opaque and flaky, remove it from the grill. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving to enhance the flavours.
Tips for Best Results
- Prevent sticking: Lightly brush the grill with oil before placing the fish on it.
- For a more intense flavour: Use apple wood chips for a mild smoky aroma that complements the fish.
- Consistent temperature: Adjust the valves to keep the barbecue between 180-200°C.
Presentation and Accompaniments
Serve the sea bass with a side dish of grilled asparagus, embers potatoes or a fresh salad of rocket and cherry tomatoes. Accompany with a dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Verdejo, to balance the flavours.
This recipe is perfect for al fresco dining, combining the freshness of the fish with the unmistakable smoky flavour of the barbecue. Enjoy every bite! 🐟🔥
