BBQ Cooking
Tips!
-
When using a
meat thermometer, placed into the thickest part of the muscle,
130 F/55 C indicates the meat is pink, 140 F/60 C , the meat is part way
brown, pink in the middle and juicy; 150 F/65 C means the meat is
evenly browned, well done and fairly juicy.
-
A hinged grill
basket comes in handy for frequently turned food such as
hamburgers, shrimp and hot dogs. The basket can be
adjusted to hold different quantities.
-
4 oz/115
g of hamburger per person is a good guide to use when
judging proportions.
-
Remove a roast
from the grill when it is several degrees below the temperature
you prefer. The roast will continue to
cook.
-
When cooking
fatty foods on the grill, tilt the grill slightly toward
you. This way the fat will run to the edge of the grid
instead of dripping onto the coals, causing flare-ups and
smoke.
-
For spit
cooking, arrange the roast so that the bottom turns toward
you. The fire should be placed at the back of the roast
with a drip pan in the front. Constant basting is not
necessary.
-
If you plan to
salt your meat, do so prior to placing on the grill.
Salting food while it is on the grill can cause
toughness.
-
Hold your palm
over the grill and count seconds. If you are forced to
remove your hand after 3 seconds, the fire is about 350-400
F/180-200 C, perfect for steaks and
chops.
Grilling Fruit in Foil:
It's wonderful to be able to prepare your
complete meal on the bbq - you can spend all your time with your
family and friends instead of inside in the kitchen!
Grilled fruit is a light 'summery' dessert that can be prepared
in advance and placed on the grill at the perfect time for a
special, mmm, mmm good treat ... especially with ice cream,
sherbet or frozen yogurt on the side! 
Wrapping fruit in foil before grilling
eliminates the smoky flavour. Serve with grilled meats or as
a unique barbecue dessert.
- Apples - Peel and
slice; season with butter and sugar, then with Watkins
