    BBQ Guide

    You can’t beat the taste of food cooked outside over the coals, especially when you’re sharing it with family and friends in the sunshine. Outdoor cooking becomes such a sociable occasion, and whether you prefer the charcoal or gas variety, staying in the garden or getting out and about, we’ve got plenty of ideas at Lakeland so you can enjoy stress-free barbecuing.

    Getting started

    Before you start cooking, make sure your barbecue is at the correct temperature, and resist the temptation to throw everything on the grill as soon as you light the coals! Those barbecuing on gas can skip this next bit, since all you need to do is let your grill heat up for at least 10 minutes first, but if you’re cooking on coal, here’s our essential guide to lighting your barbecue:

    1. Use briquettes rather than charcoal. They burn for longer and don’t create ash, which can sometimes taint food.

    2. Oil your grill racks before cooking to prevent food sticking.

    3. Place your barbecue out of the wind so that the temperature is easier to control.

    4. Use marinades or smoked wood chips to impart extra flavour, or try adding herbs such as rosemary and thyme to your coals.

    Hints & Tips

    • Defrost meat and poultry thoroughly before cooking.
    • Marinades will tenderise and add flavour to meat and fish, and can be stored in the fridge, even overnight.
    • Before cooking, trim fat from steaks and chops and shake off excess marinades to prevent fat flare-ups.
    • Keep raw and cooked food separate and don’t handle cooked foods with the same utensils that are being used for raw meat.
    • Cooking times will vary depending on the heat of your grill, so use a thermometer fork to make sure you don’t under- or overcook your food.
    • Fish cooks beautifully in a foil parcel, just remember to oil the foil first to prevent it sticking.
    • When cooking kebabs, always remember to soak wooden skewers in water before use to stop them burning.
