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.

phew, after reading the title of this thread I'd thought you'd went with Peter Henry to the other BBQ and knew something we didn't... :wink:

1) throw away big poofter's fake barbeque
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? :?

Yup you are.
