Of course, barbecue ovens are indispensable for meat. Common ovens are usually divided into stone pots and net racks. The so-called stone pot is to put a stone non-stick baking tray on the induction cooker or gas, and then put the food on the back tray for barbecue. The advantage of this tool is that it is relatively simple to prepare and convenient to use, and it is very hygienic because the food does not directly contact with the fire. However, because charcoal fire is not used, many people will feel that the taste is not authentic enough. This kind of baking utensils are widely used in many restaurants with both roasting and roasting. If you are at home, you can buy them in shopping malls with a baking tray or a separate baking tray. It is worth noting that if you buy a baking tray separately, you should pay attention to the size of the stove at home, otherwise the heat conduction will be uneven.
it's a little cumbersome to prepare the grill with charcoal fire. Some are like old-fashioned instant-boiled mutton, which requires smokeless charcoal besides barbecue utensils. In addition to burning charcoal in the raw fire, charcoal should be continuously added during the barbecue to keep the heat. Although this method sometimes makes people angry, and sometimes it may make people feel ashamed, because it is closer to nature and the food baked with charcoal at high temperature will have a special flavor, most restaurants specializing in barbecue choose this method. As for household use, in addition to homemade simple grills, many shopping malls have also introduced camping barbecue cookers, which are quite convenient and durable, although the price is a little expensive. There is also a charcoal fire and gas grill that can adapt to various barbecue tastes.
Barbecue essentials

six tips for barbecue
don't think that barbecue is just a matter of simply tossing the meat a few times, and then casually applying some sauce. In fact, the effort is different, and the taste is different. If you don't believe me, try baking it once according to the precautions listed below to ensure a good taste!
1. If you are going to cook barbecue at home, the choice of charcoal fire is the first important thing. Don't be cheap when choosing charcoal fire, some inferior charcoal fires are not enough or even don't burn at all; Others will emit a lot of smoke and pollute food after burning. Charcoal fires with good quality are generally neat and heavy, and they burn for a long time and have a good fire. Because the special flavor of grilled food comes from the aroma of grilled food when charcoal is at high temperature, choosing charcoal well is the basis of enjoying delicious food.
2. Before grilling food, brush a layer of oil on the grill to prevent food from sticking to the rack. Brush off the residue on the grill with an iron brush at any time to keep the grill clean, so as not to affect the flavor of food.
3. There are many kinds of food that can be barbecued, but the choice of materials is also very particular. Pork: It must be cooked thoroughly before eating. Pork belly with tender ribs, waist and buttocks and a little fat should be selected, so that the roasted meat will not be too dry. Beef: you can choose beef ribs, which are tender and tough; Beef shoulder is the most tender meat for roasting. No matter American beef or Australian beef, it is not suitable to roast it until it is fully cooked, which will destroy the tenderness of the meat. Chicken: Any part is a good material for barbecue. If you soak it in lemon water before barbecue and sprinkle some starch, it will make the meat more tender. Seafood: Everything is fine, but you must choose fresh ones. Fresh seafood is dense and elastic, and the marinating time of seafood taken out of the refrigerator before barbecue should not exceed 31 minutes. When baking squid rolls, brush a thin layer of egg yolk on it, which will make the color more beautiful and taste better. Vegetables and fruits: mainly roots, mushrooms and hard fruits and vegetables with less juice, such as corn, green peppers, pineapples and bananas.
4. As soon as the food is put on the grill, people who are in a hurry are always worried that it will burn and keep turning it over. In fact, this will prolong the cooking time, and will destroy protein, causing the meat to harden. When baking food, the food must be heated to a certain degree before it is easy to turn over. If some food sticks to the net rack after turning over, it means that protein has not been completely heated, and hard pulling will only tear the protein fiber, and if it is fish, it will form peeling phenomenon.
5. The longer the food is grilled, the greater the loss of water and oil, and the drier the taste. Therefore, in the process of barbecue, you should brush some barbecue sauce on the food to keep the food moist and increase the taste, but be careful not to brush too much at a time, which will cause the food to be too salty.
6. For people who have a certain barbecue foundation, baking authentic diamond-shaped roast marks can definitely add icing on the cake to barbecue technology. In fact, it is not difficult to bake a diamond-shaped roast mark. First, the charcoal fire is required to be hot enough, and then the food is placed on the grill at a 31-degree oblique angle. When the food is fully heated, the food is turned to a 31-degree oblique angle in the opposite direction to form a diamond-shaped roast mark. Burn the other side of the food with the same steps.
