Food - Eliminate Outdoor Cooking Mistakes

by Marvin Hagen

As humans, we all make mistakes. It is human nature to do
so, and cannot be prevented apiece and every time. When it
comes to barbequing, this rule is no different. We often
make mistakes that we do not even realize until we taste our
food, or something potentially chanceful happens.

Some mistakes just mean that the food you cook is not going
to taste very good, while others could potentially mean a
trip to the hospital, or a visit from your claims
representative on your home insurance policy.

You must properly prepare the meat you are cooking, before
cooking it. You should never attempt to cook meat on a grill
when it is still frozen, or even partially frozen.

Once meat is cooked, never put it back in on the same plate
you had it on when it was raw. This could cause the spread
of many unwanted illnesses. Cooking with charcoal lighter
fluid can be good or bad. The lighter fluid will cause the
food you are cooking to taste different then with other
types of grills.

Never poke you meat while it is cooking. Poking holes in
meat will cause the juice inside to leak out into the bottom
of the grill. Not only will this make your food dry and
unappealing in the end, but it also could potentially ruin
your barbeque grill.

Once the meat is on the grill, try not to open the lid to
many times. Each time you open the lid, you change the
temperature in the grill. The constant change in temperature
and the air flow will cause your meat to dry up quickly.
Remember that the higher the heat is not always the better.
While it is ok to quickly cook food, turning the heat up
will just cause the meat to dry up and potentially burn.

While using tin foil or aluminum foil will make cleaning
easier, it will cause your food to have more of a fried
taste then a grilled taste. Never, under any circumstance,
should you leave a grill alone when it is in use. Grilling
does have fire involved, and accidents can happen. Fire
spreads quickly, so being aware of your grill could mean the
difference between a small fire that is quickly
extinguished, and a visit from the fire department.

Never place a hot grill against a wall, even if the fire is
already completely out. A hot grill can heat up an exterior
wall to the point of combustion. Also, do not put the grill
cover back on until you are sure that the grill is
completely cool. You grill should be cleaned after each and
every use, no exceptions. While no one likes cleaning the
grill, it is essential for the life and safety of your
grill.

Make sure that your grill is completely cold before cleaning
it. Spraying oil and cleaning agents on a hot surface could
cause it to ignite. Be careful, because the grill may seem
cool, but may still be hot in certain areas. You do not want
to sustain a burn.
