BBQ disaster. Help needed
I got a new gas BBQ to replace a cheapo charcoal kettle thing that was always either too hot or too cold. It's great fun - well until I turn the food, it sticks to the grids (they're porcelain coated but it still sticks), and burns. We chewed cremated salmon tonight and pretended it was nice but all I could taste was the burn :( And the clouds of smoke :shock:
Can someone please advise the secrets of a successful cook in [-o< |
I usually brush the cooking grid with vegetable oil seems to stop things sticking, but then i have a charcoal bar-b-q a proper mans cooking device :D

Sounds like it just needs seasoning. Did you rub in some oil and salt? Have you got lava stones in above the gas and under the grill? Mine is a steel plate and grill - but heating and cooling it with a little oil along with moving the stones about until the heat was right fixed any sticking and burning at the start.

It's a BBQ it's suppose to burn stuff, ain't it :?:
Cheers Mark. |

2) get a real one 3) food poisoning, smoke inhalation and 3rd degree burns. I wonder, could you cover the grids with cooking oil or something before you put the food on? |
< Also has big fugg off american gas barbecue to show the neighbours I have a bigger penis.
Trick is to not turn the meat too soon, let it seal before attempting, alternatively microwave the ******* for 2 hours and chuck on barby b4 people come round :lol: |
Oil the grill first or brish the food with a little olive oil beofre you put it on should work and anyway for salmon aren't you supposed to wrap it in tin foil first to stop it falling apart? :?

Having been a wuss and used a gas BBQ for 19 years :oops: , I'm seriously contemplating going charcoal, as I reckon the results are better (if slower). My missus doesn't agree (but she never does :evil: )
|
The type of fuel matters little for a bbq...but the basic knowledge of how to cook is I suggest crucial. Don't expect to just throw any old thing on there and expect perfect results.
The best BBQ food always has good preparation before hand. :wink: |

you need a spray bottle filled with cooking oil,
you spray the food with it while its cooking. (and stand back, it flames up) |

Well TVM for all these really helpful replies :roll: Burned tuna for dins tonight, I'm gonna stick to the tins. Mine was striped like this :nemo: only the colours were black and brown :lol:

put your fish in foil and bake folks. check every now and then until the skin peals away (fresh trout, salmon). squeeze a lil fresh lemon over fish....yum. brush meat with a little oil. 10-40w does it for me :fish: :wink:
