Tips for Getting the Most from Your BBQ
Once you’ve used the Mincer to prepare your ingredients, the next step is getting the grill just right. With the right approach, you can bring out the best in both flavour and texture.
Wait for the right heat
Avoid placing food on the grill too early. Allow the coals to turn grey and evenly glowing – this ensures consistent heat and better results.
Create different heat zones
A combination of direct and indirect heat gives you greater control. Sear over high heat, then move to a cooler area to finish cooking.
Use the lid
Closing the lid helps retain heat and ensures even cooking, especially for burgers and sausages.
Let the meat rest
Allow freshly cooked meat to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and enhances both texture and flavour.
