In August we are spotlighting some of TableCraft’s hidden gems and how you can make the best of each one of them by creating recipes you can try. We have something for every meal of the day and even a delicious drink when you need to cool down and relax. Enjoy!
Keep the Grill Going this Summer
Follow our 5 top tips using our BBQ range of products to become a grilling pro:
- Gear Up – Whether you’re a beginner or an iron chef, you’ll need some tools to help you make the best food for your barbecue. Stock up on the basics, like a pair of tongs, a grill brush, long-handled spatula and a hinged-wire basket
- Get a Clean Start – Prior to grilling, scrub the hot grate with a long-handled wire brush. This keeps it clean and ensures neat grill marks
- Grease the Grate – Prevent food from sticking by brushing the grill grate with oil. Use some paper towel to rub a thin layer of vegetable oil on the grate before cooking
- Gotta Keep it Separated – Use fresh plates, utensils and cutting boards to prevent raw meat, poultry and fish from contaminating cooked food.
- Soak the Skewers – To prevent your bamboo or wooden skewers from burning, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to an hour before you place them on a hot grill
