BBQ disaster. Help needed - SV650.org

10-06-06, 09:41 PM

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

Can someone please advise the secrets of a successful cook in

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

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.

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

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?
