Jul 05, 2018

Summer times means grilling and BBQing. Grilling techniques are limitless, and depending on who you ask, you will get different tips. Here are 15 hacks that will help you become a true BBQing expert:

Showmanship is important in cooking. You want your food to look mouth watering, so your patrons can see how good the food is before they even taste it. Putting grill marks on your food is a great way to make your food look incredible. By rotating the meat at an angle, you can get a wire fence type grill pattern on the meat that will look astonishing.

When the food cooks, it can slide around your skewer. If you like making anything on a skewer you should always use two skewers. This stops the ingredients from sliding and spinning around.

Ketchup, mustard, onions, pickles, peppers, and relish: put all this in a muffin pan. Put spoons in each of the containers and now you have a condiment dish that will keep all condiments separate.

This is a true hack. Take beef broth and freeze it in your ice box. When you are ready to grill, put the frozen beef broth cubes on top of your burgers and steaks. The cubes will melt and seep into the meat, keeping your food juicy and delicious.

Always use dark beer to marinate your meat. Using beer in meat is actually healthier. It negates certain carcinogenic amines that are formed in meat.

If your tank's gage is busted, you should take a cup of boiling water and poor it over the top of the tank. This will cause half of the tank to be hot and half of the tank to be cold. The propane is up to the point where the cold and hot meet.

Mayonnaise is most commonly used as a topping and not a cooking agent. You can actually take a spoon full of mayo and add it to your raw hamburger meat. Mix it up and make your patties. This will keep the meat juicy just like the beef broth cubes.

If you are cooking at a big BBQ party, it is important to keep track of what everyone wants. If your memory is lacking, it is okay to use your phone or a notepad to keep track of what everyone wants. A more unique way to keep track is using ketchup and mustard to write rare, well, or medium on the buns as the meat cooks.

Instead of a wire brush, you can use an onion to clean the grill. Simply make some grooves in the onion with a fork and rub it back and forth on the grill.

Pineapple stops pork from drying out and it adds a unique flavor.

Put a piece of charcoal in each egg container, throw it in the grill, and spark the carton in order to start an easy charcoal fire.

Just like you used pineapple for pork, apply some lemon to some cuts of fish to keep is juicy.

Why use expensive lighter fluid when you can just take a corn chip, like a Dorito, and light it on fire in order to start your charcoal? This is one of the more unusual items on the list.

Use disposable baking pans to put food in. Put the containers on the grill and it'll keep your food warm for hours.

Skewer some hot dogs and run a fork down the side as you spin it. Hot dogs cut in this fashion cook more evenly and provide a more crispy taste.

These 15 tips will be hard to keep to yourself, and why would you? You want the food at BBQs, even ones you don't cook at, to be delicious.

Telling your friends about these incredible tips is a great way to spark up a conversation. You could even do a collaborative cook-out together.
