Ribfest 2009 : Patio Furniture Toronto
For many the BBQ is the most popular appliance over the spring and summer months. BBQs are now equipped with built in rotisseries, side burners, smoke boxes, infrared burners and even night lights, we just can’t get enough. Ribfest brings out the perfectionists, the BBQ lovers but most of all our taste buds.
Here are some helpfull hints on how to improve your grilling results:
- Apply a light coating of cooking oil to your grills prior to grilling to prevent foods from sticking. This also will reduces charring and flare ups that tend to burn your food.
- Cook similar food portions together to ensure they cook evenly. On this note this will also include your cuts of particular meats.
- Never pierce foods while they are cooking on the grill, this will dry out the rich flavours. The idea of grilling is to sear your flavours within the food and prevent its escape.
- Try not to turn foods over frequently. This should be rule #1 as turning your food makes it difficult to cook it proportionately.
- Add sugar based sauces, i.e. Diana Sauce, during the latter stages of cooking to prevent charring. Sugar based sauces need very little time absorb into your meats.
- When cooking with strings or wooden skewers, i.e. pork roasts or chicken, soak the strings prior to cooking to prevent them from burning. Don’t be afraid to leave the skewers soaking in water overnight.
- Use water, fruit juice, wines, or other marinades to add flavour and moisture to slow cooked foods such as chicken.
- Always trim away extra fat from foods to reduce the number of flare ups during cooking.
Even if your not that BBQ “fanatic” we strongly recommend visiting Ribfest and watch grilling at its finest.
