5 Ways You Can Enjoy A Barbecue Better

By Edward French


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

Once it's summer, it's barbecues all the way for hard core barbecuers and using a grill is an essential part of cooking.

Every barbecue is always a good fun family event. To make your evening barbecue experience more unique, here are 5 ways you can consider:

Who said you have to only barbecue meat? Over a naked grill, you can do a lot with vegetables, bread, and fruit. Using pastry cutters for whatever you're grilling can make grilling and barbecues more fun for the whole family. The design and type of food you use will be up to you and your kids.

There are foil packed recipes that cook in less than 20 minutes which you can try and they're very handy and kids 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.

They say variety is the spice of life so if you only ever cook the same old sausages and steaks why not try something different like a nice bit of cod or a juicy bit of venison. Use condiments and seasoning to mix them up with.

You shouldn't rush barbecues and a lot of fans will say that an insult to the barbecuing criteria is broiling. Barbecues should represent a process of slow cooking on low to high heat and while you wait for the food to grill its a great opportunity to have a good laugh with who ever is in your party be it friends and family.

When we were all small children are moms told us never to play are food, well there is an except to every rule isn't there? Barbecue games are a great way to have really good fun while cooking. In the game glutton, the winner is the first one who finishes the dish which can either be turnips, mashed potatoes, or mac cheese.
