The BBQ checklist — all 8 items
- Bread
- Firelighters
- Ice
- Napkins
- Salad
- Sausages
- sun hat
- Tomato sauce
The classic BBQ failure isn't burnt sausages — it's discovering the gas bottle is empty after the guests arrive, or that there's meat for twelve and bread for six. The shopping is simple; it's the one forgotten thing that derails it.
This is the short, sharp BBQ list: sausages, bread, salad, tomato sauce, napkins, ice — and the sun hat and firelighters everyone forgets. Say extras into the app while you clean the grill — hands greasy, phone untouched — and tick it all off in the supermarket on the way home.
How the ABC app works with this list
A — say it. Tap the mic and add anything this list is missing — "gas bottle" — and it's saved. B — tick it. Check each item off as it goes in the bag or the trolley. C — sorted. The list keeps itself; close the app, it's still there next time. It works offline, and your list lives on your phone, not on our servers.
