BBQ & Grill recipe questions
How do I stop food sticking to the BBQ grill?
Preheat your grill thoroughly for at least 10 minutes, then brush the grates with oil using kitchen paper and tongs. Ensure meat isn't fridge-cold before cooking, and resist moving food too early—it naturally releases when properly seared and ready to turn.
Can I prepare BBQ marinades and sauces in advance?
Yes, most marinades and sauces keep well for 3-5 days refrigerated in sealed containers. Marinate meat for 2-24 hours before grilling. For hot honey glazes or paprika mayo, prepare up to 3 days ahead. Always bring refrigerated items to room temperature before use.
What's the difference between direct and indirect grilling?
Direct grilling cooks food directly over the heat source—ideal for burgers, prawns, and wings requiring high heat and quick cooking. Indirect grilling places food beside the heat with the lid down, perfect for larger cuts needing slower, gentler cooking without burning.
