Summer is the time for BBQs in the back garden, and if you’re like a lot of the UK population, you will have already popped your rattan garden furniture on your patio and dusted off your BBQ ready for the warm weekends.
If you’re an old pro at hosting a BBQ but want something new to try this year, why not add your favourite sauces into your cooking process? Read on to find out the best way to tend to your meat.
Start by choosing your cooking style
You might already know by now what your cooking style and method is, but it’s an important choice when it comes to using sauces on your BBQ. Whether you enjoy slow cooking or other methods, your style of cooking all affects how your meat reacts with your sauces.
Regulate the BBQ temperature
Whether you’re cooking slow or fast, regulating your BBQ temperature is important so that your meat continues to sustain its flavour. You don’t want it to burn before you add your sauces.
Add your sauces at the end of the cooking process
The trick with adding sauces your BBQ meat is to add them towards the end of the cooking process. Sauces are not supposed to be cooked at the same high temperatures as meat, so the best thing to do is add them when your meat is nearly done, or when the temperature of your BBQ is lowering.
Prevent burning sauces with vinegar
Even if you manage to add your sauces at lower temperatures, you can further prevent them burning by mixing a little vinegar with your sauces. This thins out the sauce so it will be less likely to burn.
