How to Better Enjoy a Barbecue - 5 Helpful Ways

By Beth Willis


Since Americans in the South began publicly roasting pigs at parties and get togethers, Barbecues have been a common item in the lives of North Americans.

For most of the population using a grill is a essential part of cooking and for the hard core barbecuers once the summer comes in it's barbecues all the way.

When it comes to barbecues, it's always a fun family event. Below are 5 ways to help make your routine barbecue a more unique experience:

Meat is not the only thing you can barbecue. There are lots of things you can do with fruit, vegetables, and bread over a naked grill. Barbecues and grilling can be more fun to the whole family if you use pastry cutters to whatever you're grilling. It is up to you or your kids what design and type of food you use.

Try some of those foil packed recipes which cook in less than 20 minutes which are very handy and clean and kids will also love the surprise element. Combos can be great fun as you can mix it up any way you want and it makes a great game for the kids mixing different items of bread, fruit and veg.

You can try cod or venison because steaks and sausages are the only things you can barbecue. Similarly, try to mix it up with condiments and seasoning.

You shouldn't rush barbecues and a lot of fans will say that an insult to the barbecuing criteria is broiling. While waiting for the food to cook, you can have a good laugh with friends and family and the cooking itself should be slow with low to high heat.

Our moms told us that we shouldn't play with our food, but every rule has an exception. Barbecue games are a great way to have really good fun while cooking. In the game Glutton, every player gets either mashed potatoes, turnip or mac cheese, then they must pick at random a utensil from the kitchen and eat and the first person to eat all of their dish wins.
