Summer is finally here which means we’ll be firing up our grills to barbecue for our family and friends. So, you’ll probably want to know a few tricks to help make it go more smoothly.
Here Are 15 Hacks To Make You A BBQ Grilling Master:
1) The Perfect Grill Marks
Make your meat look as good as it tastes. Place your meat so that the end points to 10 o’clock and let it sear for two minutes. Rotate the meat so that the same end points to 2 o’clock. Flip it over and create the perfect grill marks on the other side of your meat.
2) Use Two Skewers Instead Of One
Your food can twist around when you flip your skewers. This can make your food cook unevenly. Use two skewers to keep your food in place.
3) Use A Muffin Tin For Condiments
Keeping a bunch of containers on your table can take up a lot of space. Use a muffin tin instead. Place things like onions, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard in the muffin cubbies.
4) Keep Your Meat Moist
No one likes dry meat. Make ice cubes from beef broth and place it on your meat. This will keep your meat moist and juicy. You can also use butter.
5) Marinate In Beer
Grilling your beer in meat can make it healthier. Grilling causes carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines to form in meat. You can negate this by marinating your meat in dark beer.
6) Check Your Propane Levels
Pour a cup of boiling water on the side of your propane tank. When you feel the tank you’ll notice the top will feel hot and the bottom will be cool. Your propane level is where the hot and cool spot meet.
7) Mayo For Meat and Moisture
Mayo is the perfect condiment. It will also keep your meat moist while it’s on the grill. Add a small dollop to your raw meat to keep it juicy and tasty.
8) Keep Track of Orders
Keeping track of who wanted a rare burger and who wanted a medium one can be a pain when you’re grilling for a crowd. Use ketchup and mustard to keep track. Just write rare, well, or medium on the side of the bun or on the meat.
9) Use An Onion To Clean The Grill
Using a wire brush to clean your grill can be dangerous. Use an onion instead. Stab a half of onion with a fork and use the cut side to clean your hot grill.
10) Keep Pork Sweet
Fill a spray bottle with some apple juice. Occasional spritz your pork or other meats when grilling. This will keep your cut nice and tender and will add a touch of sweetness.
11) Egg Cartons To Light Charcoal
Some say that lighter fluid gives your food an unwanted taste. You don’t have to use any at all to light your charcoal. Just place your coal in egg cartons and use a lighter to set the carton on fire. The coals will eventually light up when the carton burns.
12) Grill Fish on Lemon
Having fish break apart as you cook it is so annoying. Lay some lemons down on your grill and place the fish on top. When you flip the fish pick up the lemons so your fish stay intact. Lay more lemons down and flip your fish on top of it.
13) Use Chips To Light Coals
You can use corn chips or Doritos to light your charcoal. Light a chip with a lighter and place them on top your charcoal. The coals will eventually light up.
14) DIY Food Warmer
Don’t let that food go cold. Place your food in a foil pan. Tape another one on top to keep your food warm.
15) Spiral Cut Hot Dogs
Skewer a hot dog and run a knife down your dog while spinning it. Spiral hot dogs cook through better and are super tasty. The grooves also hold condiments better.
