THE ART OF BBQing

If you are getting set to cook out this weekend, here are a few tips to mastering the art of barbequing:
  • Trim the Fat - Trimming the fat cuts the amount of grease drippings and subsequently controls flame-ups.
  • Marinate More – If you want the flavor to last the very last bite, soak your meat in marinade for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Lube the Grate - No one wants to spend hours scrubbing the grate post-cookout. Avoid a lengthy and laborious clean-up by oiling the grill before using.
  • Light Up Your Fire with Salad Dressing - Don’t have lighter fluid? Don’t despair! Grab the salad dressing from the fridge and douse it over charcoals. The oil in the dressing acts as a great accelerant.
  • Don’t Mess with Your Meat - Over-handling meat—in the form of flipping, pressing down on it with a spatula, or testing doneness with a fork—does more harm than good. People tend to flip meat frequently for fear of overcooking, but actually dries meat out.

The odds of three generations of the same family all having boys born on the same day... 272,910 to one.
