With the summer upon us what better way to enjoy the weekend than with a BBQ? From succulent steaks to vegetable skewers, cooking outside can be a great way to spend time with the family and friends whilst enjoying some good food. <\/p>\n First things first: Away from the controls of a kitchen, cooking on an open fire outside can be dangerous if you don\u2019t follow some rules of general safety:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t already bought your BBQ, it is worth considering whether you want a charcoal or gas BBQ, because both follow different rules:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, it is also important to remember food hygiene. You may be outside but that doesn\u2019t mean you need to eat like a cave man! Always put your cooked food on a clean plate or chopping board and never add marinate to cooked meat that was just used on raw meat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now you\u2019ve mastered the safety basics, you\u2019ll need to learn that the way you treat the food you cook is different from how you would indoors too. Rather than just throwing a lasagne in the oven, you will most likely be handling raw meat, and whilst that is easy to cook on a BBQ, you can make it even better by following these 5 handy tips:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, to whet your appetite for the next available BBQ afternoon, why not try eating outside of the box and cook up something you wouldn\u2019t normally expect to find on a BBQ?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Allow some dough to cool to room temperature and form into tennis ball sized balls. Roll out and place directly onto the grill. After grill marks begin to appear, flip with the tongs and coat the cooked side with olive oil. Once grill marks appear on the new bottom side, flip it over and throw your toppings on. Leave for 2 minutes and you\u2019ll have yourself a BBQ\u2019d pizza!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n BBQ\u2019s aren\u2019t just about the meat. For a great dessert, experiment with some fruit on the grill. When choosing the fruit opt for the more firm pieces as they will hold together better under the heat. Why not try grilled peach halves cooked on cinnamon sticks? Or for something more exotic, try pineapples with black pepper, lime juice and honey. Delicious!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So get the family outside this weekend and cook up a storm with a BBQ.
