I have also barbecued outdoors several times, and I have some experience. The most important thing about outdoor barbecue is good weather and good mood. The important thing is to participate and enjoy the process. As for whether it tastes good or not, as long as you prepare a little more, you will definitely have good memories.
The following is an introduction according to the major categories of barbecue food preparation, seasoning classification, barbecue supplies, and other auxiliary entertainment items.
1. BBQ Food
There are many things that can be eaten during barbecue, which are classified as follows.
1. Meat
Chicken:
Chicken wings, chicken breasts, chicken meatballs (these can be marinated in advance according to preference, and the sauce is also delicious when brushed on site ). One thing about chicken wings is to score them in the middle so they can be flavored easily.
Recommend the "Bone and Flesh Connection", which is sold at Carrefour, with chicken and chicken cartilage skewered on wooden skewers in bulk. The taste is close to KFC's meat and bones. It is especially easy to cook when grilled and tastes good.
In addition, chicken hearts and gizzards can also be grilled.
Roasted eggs are also a flavor.
Beef and mutton:
Generally, supermarkets sell skewered mutton skewers. Buying the meat yourself and slicing it or skewering it for grilling is also very flavorful.
There are also lamb kidneys, etc. If you like to eat, you can consider them.
In addition to beef tenderloin, you can choose beef ribs, which are tender and tough; beef shoulder is the most tender meat for roasting.
[] Pork:
Pork belly (imitating Korean barbecue on tinfoil, grilled pork belly dipped in sauce and wrapped in lettuce leaves to eat)
Hibo kebabs ( Select according to taste)
Pork ribs
Seafood:
Squid, shrimp, etc.; various fish; various fish balls, seafood balls.
The legendary delicacy is "scallops + prawns". Wash the prawns and skewer them with the ends together when grilling. Just bake them until they turn red on both sides. They taste like a special sweet seafood flavor. It is recommended not to dip them in seasonings. Buy scallops that are frozen and plated. When grilling, separate them carefully, brush them with oil and seasonings, and bake them directly on the rack. After roasting, the soup will come out, which is especially delicious! Be careful not to waste the soup when handling it.
Sausages and hams:
Various types of luncheon meats, ham sausages, sausages, bacon, etc. are very flavorful when grilled and are particularly easy to cook.
2. Vegetables
Recommended based on common and delicious barbecue habits: potatoes, lotus roots, corn (boiled), onions (very flavorful), mushrooms, green peppers, red peppers Peppers, eggplants, sweet potatoes, apples, asparagus.
Corn: Select sweet corn of equal size. When grilling, brush the whole thing with oil and place it in a place with relatively weak firepower. It will take a long time to grill it, and remember to turn it over constantly!
Garlic: highly recommended. Roasted garlic not only has a unique taste, but also has a bactericidal effect, making it suitable for outdoor consumption.
Vegetables can be combined with meat to form an American-style BBQ, which is delicious and soothing. It must be paired with some.
All vegetables must be washed, peeled and sliced ??(into pieces) in advance
3. Pasta
Steamed buns: Dip the steamed bun slices into noodle sauce and chili sauce , very delicious when grilled.
Small shaobing: sesame shaobing is very good.
Tofu cubes, gluten
4. Supplementary foods and snacks
Various snacks: melon seeds, peanuts, potato chips, jelly, etc.
Staple foods: cakes, bread slices, biscuits, jam, cheese. It is recommended to bring less, as it is not interesting to eat barbecue.
Fast food: such as canned fruits, eight-treasure porridge, herbal tea, etc., which are recommended for reducing heat, relieving fatigue and refreshing.
5. Fruits and beverages
Beverages: juice, cola, yogurt, etc. It is also suitable to bring some plain water or tea.
Fruits: Fruits such as mandarin oranges and apples have more flavor when grilled and are very suitable for bringing to the barbecue.
Alcohol: If you don’t drive, you can bring it. It’s also good to bring some beer for disinfection.
2. Classification of barbecue seasonings
Arranged in order of importance. At the same time, the more you bring, the better your baked goods will be!
Honey:
It is the only magic weapon for delicious grilled chicken wings and other meats. Be sure to bring it, it greatly enhances the taste! When using, you can pour it into a plate or bowl and use a small brush to smear it on the food.
Edible blended oil:
Blended oil is indispensable for barbecue. Brushing oil can make the food easier to cook and taste fresh and tender. Barbecue consumes a lot of oil, so bring more! It’s best to get your own small bottle to fill it up. The oil is also poured out and applied with a brush.
Various seasonings:
Salt, salt and pepper, MSG (chicken essence), chili powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder
Various sauces:
p>Sweet noodle sauce, garlic chili sauce, ketchup, special barbecue sauce, etc.
3. Classification of barbecue supplies
1. Barbecue grill
The barbecue grill is the most important tool. Common types include apple stoves, couple stoves (portable stoves), etc.
Couple stove: It is a small rectangular stove often sold by Carrefour and B&Q for about 42 yuan. The advantage of this kind of stove is that the height of the grill is adjustable, making it easy to control the firepower, and it is cheap, selling for about 25 yuan on Taobao. The disadvantage is that it is relatively small and not suitable for use by many people (so it is called a couple's stove). At the same time, it does not have a lid like the apple stove for stewing and smoking.
Apple stove: It has a sturdy appearance, but is relatively heavy, making it inconvenient to store and carry. The height of the shelf is not adjustable, making it not very convenient to use. Its price is generally twice that of a couple's stove.
2. Smokeless carbon
It is machine-made carbon. It is made of a mixture of carbon and coal and pressed into a hollow polygonal shape. It can be seen from the carbon ash that it contains coal. This kind of carbon has uniform size, long burning time and uniform firepower. The key is that it is smokeless and low price (about 20 yuan per kilogram). Many professional barbecue restaurants choose this type of carbon. The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for ignition and requires igniting agent or burning newspapers for a period of time.
3. Brushes
It is a small brush. If you are more particular, buy a better one. In order to facilitate oil and honey, at least one stove must be equipped with two brushes.
4. Other barbecue utensils
Tin foil: A little tip for barbecue is to buy tin foil and bring it with you, because the iron grid will be dirty after grilling, so you can spread it with tin foil to bake. , not only clean but also easy to heat overall. Bamboo skewers (iron skewers are of course better) and fish clips: necessary supplies for eating kebabs and fish.
5. Other necessary items
Lighter, igniting agent (such as tinder, professional igniting agent, etc.)
Stool (if convenient to bring)< /p>
Disposable plastic gloves (it is recommended to bring more, very practical)
Disposable dinner plates, paper cups
Disposable chopsticks (large quantities), forks
Toothpicks are very useful. They can fix squid and other easily curled foods. They can also be used as a tool for picking up food instead of a fork.
Multifunctional knife, cutting board
Wet wipes (multiple), toilet paper
Table cloth, picnic mat
Newspaper (purpose There are a lot of them, so it is recommended to bring more)
Large plastic bags and garbage bags (recommend the ultra-black, ultra-thick and extra-large ones).
Large bottle of tap water (use a large bottle for washing hands or vegetables)
4. Other entertainment items
1. Kite: Spring is of course suitable for flying kites!
2. Fishing supplies
3. Fish fishing nets or insect catching nets
4. Tent or hammock. If you're not afraid of trouble, get a tent and take a nap after eating.
5. Burn medicine
6. Poker: playing killing games or playing cards
7. Badminton or something else
5. Venue Choose
The outdoor barbecue site should be as flat and open as possible. There should be no shrubs or too many trees around it, and there should be no flammable items around the downwind. Do not choose a location that is too humid or too far from a water source. Windy and rainy days are not suitable for outdoor barbecues.
6. Barbecue skills
1. Food should be washed and marinated in advance, and packed in clean food bags or lunch boxes.
2. Quick-frozen foods can be packed in insulated ice bags and should not be placed near the barbecue area.
3. The charcoal fire should be relatively large at the beginning, so it is best to bake foods that are easy to cook first. In order of ease of cooking, they are: ham sausage, bone and meat joints, meat skewers, meat slices, chicken wings, and ribs. Of course, vegetables are easier to get familiar with than meat, and steamed bun slices can be eaten at any time.
.4. The control of charcoal fire is very important. Prepare disposable chopsticks and water. When the fire is strong, pour some water or move the charcoal away to avoid making the flames too big.
Be sure to turn frequently so it doesn't burn.
5. Make full use of various seasonings, constantly brush the sauce, sprinkle with seasonings and stir.
6. Carbon is the most difficult to ignite, so this is the most difficult first step in barbecue. First put the charcoal on the mesh in the stove and pour igniting agent or alcohol on it. Place newspapers, tinder and other easily ignitable materials under the mesh. Then ignite the charcoal and the materials under the mesh. Attack the top and bottom together so that the carbon will ignite quickly. . If you think it is easy to dirty the stove, you can also use the kind of steel wire fence that is used when cooking dumplings instead. Anyway, after the carbon is ignited and put into the stove, the subsequent work will be easier!
