Summers are incomplete without barbecues.
Why wouldn’t they be? You have the perfect excuse to meet up with family and friends. There are juicy, smoky steaks to bite into, charred corns to munch on and refreshing bittersweet lemonade to sip on!
However, as much as you love barbeques you can’t deny the fact that they have a tendency to turn into gruesome grilling sessions---ones filled with black food, scorched up hands, and hungry stomachs.
Do you want to avoid the disaster that was your last cook-out?
Then we advise you to read these tips below:
1. The Grill
You own a grill but are looking for an upgrade for the next fiesta, right? This is probably why you spend hours debating over the biggest dilemma for any griller: gas or charcoal?
We will tell you the real truth: it doesn’t really matter. Both grills have their set of pros and cons that can sway you. Therefore, while picking out a grill, try to select on what fits your home and style.
2. The Prep
The best barbeque parties do not happen themselves. They are the result of lots of planning and prep.
This why you need to make sure that before you start grilling you:
- Marinate: Does your food taste bland? Do not forget to marinate your meat overnight. This lets the meat fully absorb your herbs and spices. This infusion of flavour will help you score big at the cookout.
- Pre-Heat: Is undercooked food a concern for you? The best trick to get a well-cooked meal is to pre-heat the grill. Do it 15-25 minutes beforehand so that the grill is ready to cook your food to perfection.
- Oil: Does your food stick to the grill? Reduce this sticky situation by oiling your grill with tongs and paper towels soaked in vegetable oil.
- Patience: Don’t rush into serving your grilled food. Let it rest for ten minutes so the juices and flavours can be redistributed.
3. The Weapons
