A lot of people associate the term BBQ with pork. It is true that this meat can produce a surprisingly diverse range of food that can cover a wide array of tastes, whether someone likes it simple or wants something with a bit more spice. This can include cola marinate pulled pork, spicy spare ribs or pork and apple burgers. However this is just one example of the food you can cook on a barbecue grill.

Other examples of foods you can cook on a barbecue include hamburgers, steaks, fish, even grilled vegetables like peppers and sweet potatoes. There are even some people who cook desserts like cookies on their barbecue. In simple terms the only restriction is your own imagination. It is also worth remembering side dishes and ensuring that any vegetarians have some tasty options as well.

Hygiene is also a crucial consideration and something that you should not forget about just because you are cooking outside. Cooked food needs to be put on a clean plate or chopping board. Also any marinade that has been used on raw food should not be used on cooked food as well. While a barbecue should be relaxed it is best avoiding contaminating your fellow diners!

This will result in a quick burst of flame that will burn the top of the food. It is better to do a marinade a few hours or a day before in order to get the full benefit from it. If you want something that cooks quicker then you ought to use thinner cuts or alternatively start cooking a thicker cut on the grill and finish it off in the oven.

Hygiene is also something that has to be considered. Food needs to be covered up and cooked food should not be mixed with raw food. It sounds obvious but it can be easy to forget while you are cooking outside. A few simple steps will keep you and your fellow diners safe.

In short there are a wide range of things you can do when preparing a BBQ Maryland. Remember to check for tips and advice online as well as guides to comparing the various types of grills, sauces, meats and so forth. This will help you to prepare effectively, make the food as tasty as possible and also reduce the risk of you and your fellow diners getting ill afterwards!
