Barbecue tips:
1. Different ingredients, different roasting methods
Barbecue slices: Thin meat slices can be cooked in about 3 minutes, and should not be roasted for too long, otherwise, the meat will be hard or burnt, and it will not taste good. Pork must be cooked until it is fully cooked before it can be eaten, and beef should not be roasted until it is fully cooked, otherwise it will destroy the freshness of the meat.
Seafood food and fish: Clams and fish fillets should be wrapped in tin foil when barbecued, so that it is not easy to scorch the skin of fish and it is easy to store delicious soup. Barbecue for about 2 ~ 3 minutes, and the fish fillets will bulge, so you can eat them.
tempura, hot dogs, sausages, etc.: Try to use a small fire. Except vegetables, it is best to put them in a tin foil box and barbecue them by smoldering. The stronger the fire, the better.
2. Use of charcoal
The best choice for fuel is charcoal, and try not to use chemical charcoal. The special flavor of grilled food comes from the aroma of grilled food when charcoal is at high temperature. Therefore, choosing charcoal well is the basis of enjoying delicious food. Good quality charcoal fire generally burns for a long time and has a good fire. It is best to choose the branch part of charcoal instead of the whole tuber, otherwise it will not be easy to light. At the time of ignition, for a pack of 5 kindling, put 5 kindling at a time. Don't bake the charcoal until it is transparent and red-hot. Don't bake it when the surface of the charcoal is not completely burned, which will easily stain and blacken the food.
3. Clean the grill
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.
4. Turn it over in time
Once the food is on the grill, turning it over and over will not only prolong the cooking time, but also destroy the protein and make the meat hard. 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. Replenish water
The longer the food is roasted, 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, but be careful not to brush too much at a time, which will cause the food to be too salty.
6. Use of salt
Salt can be used for seasoning. In addition, in the process of barbecue, many fatty foods will drop oil after heating, and these oil drops will produce a high flame when they are burned by charcoal fire, which will scorch the food on the grid. If sprayed with water, it will only produce soot to pollute food. At this time, just sprinkle some salt on the fire to solve the problem.
7. Diamond-shaped roast marks
Authentic diamond-shaped roast marks can definitely add icing on the cake to the barbecue technology. It is not difficult to bake a diamond-shaped roast mark. First, it is required that the temperature of the charcoal fire is hot enough, and then the food is placed on the grill at a 3-degree oblique angle. When the food is fully heated, the food is turned to a 3-degree oblique angle in the opposite direction to form a diamond-shaped roast mark.
