Outdoor Grilling

Serious Barbecue!

If you want a tasty way to avoid cooking in the kitchen this summer, barbequing is the way to go. Sure, you can cook your food indoors on an electric grill, but the tastiest way to get the true flavor and aroma is through outdoor cooking. You can choose from a charcoal or gas grill, or maybe you prefer a smoker. There are lots of tricks to spice up your grilling, like sauces, rubs and marinades. There are various internet sites and cookbooks loaded with recipes for barbeque cooking. Any way you grill it up, though, the end result will be delectable.

Barbeque sauces can be made from a variety of bases, each of which adds a unique flavor to the meat. There are sauces based on tomato, mustard, vinegar or even fruit. As well, you can use a sauce as a marinade for whatever meat you’re grilling up. There are also marinades and sauces that are applied during the cooking process. And lastly there’s the finishing sauce that’s slathered on either during the final stages of cooking or for use when eating the meat.

Barbequing also relies on the use of rubs, frequently in combination with sauce. Rubs are a mixture of herbs and spices that are rubbed right into the raw meat and then penetrate more thoroughly while the meat is cooking. Rubs tend to remain on the meat and don’t drip off like sauces will. This means they provide more flavor.

These three seasoning techniques can be used together for maximum effect. For example, marinate the meat for a full day then apply the rub. Once the meat is on the grill and cooking, use some sauce to enhance the flavor and tenderness.

As well, there are various methods of barbeque cooking to choose from. You can cook indoors on an electric grill. However, an outdoor grill is the more flavorful option because of the added smoke flavor. You can choose between a charcoal grill, which gives it a more authentic flavor, or a gas grill. In either case, try adding some wood chips. This will give some extra flavor to the meat because of the distinctive aroma of the smoke that the chips produce during the cooking process.

Keep in mind that barbeque cooking sometimes takes longer than indoor cooking. Some things will be fast, like hot dogs or hamburgers. But if you’re planning on serving up something like ribs or roast, you’ll need to cook on low heat for a long period of time to get the best results.
