Barbecue And Grilling Mistakes - Learn To Do Away With Backyard Cooking Blunders Which Destroy Your Cookout Your regular backyard cook is no expert in the barbecue or grilling field. He has no television shows on the Food Network. He's got no grilling cookbooks out. Nor has any of those been part of his lifetime goal. No, your regular outdoor cooking fanatic makes more mistakes with bbq grilling than you could ever imagine. The beef ends up dry and tough time after time, even with marinating for several hours. Or the meat is burnt or cooked too long. These mistakes are made time and again because your average backyard cook normally does not know any different. He does not automatically understand how to barbecue. Here are some of the more common mistakes and do's and don'ts made in bbq grill cooking: 1) If you began with frozen meat, make sure the meat is thawed entirely. Attempting to cook the inside of a still-frozen bit of meat is next to impossible without burning the outside. 2) When using a charcoal grill, try to start the flame without charcoal lighter fluid. Lighter fluid taste will always get into your meat no matter how much you cook the hot coals down first. A chimney starter makes beginning the fire a breeze. Additionally, it allows you to add charcoal along the way should the hot coals burn out along the way. 3) Never poke the bbq meat with a fork after cooking has begun. This is probably the most usual mistakes and one of the most deadly for your barbecue. When poking with a fork, the juices will get out of the meat and right into the bottom of the barbecue pit or grill. Your meat will be dry and less tender. Make use of a long pair of tongs to turn the meat. 4) Lower the heat. Except for grilled steaks, that need a quick searing, cook slowly over low to medium heat. Lower heat is much more manageable and will also make the meat soft and juicy. 5) Quit lifting the lid to check the meat. Each time you do that it changes the temperature inside the bbq grill or pit. Air from you opening the cover acts like a sponge and dries the meat up. Opening the cover also increases your odds of flare-ups. 6) This is more of a food safety mistake. Do not put the cooked meat back on the same plate or platter which the raw meat was on without washing it first. Mixing the cooked along with the raw simply begs for someone to get sick. 7) After removing the meat from the bbq grill or pit, let it rest for at about 5-10 minutes. Cutting into or chopping the meat immediately after pulling it from the cooker will cause all the tasty mix to flow out of the meat and onto the plate. Of course, these are not all of the mistakes made by the amateur backyard cook, but are some of the more common. But if you will avoid doing these yourself, you will get rid of many of the things that cause barbecue failures.
