Sure, we all like to tell everyone we know how to run a BBQ but there will be the odd Wave out there feeling a little heat rising as they survey the rosters.Here are a few handy hints.
1. Cooking snags is not as easy as it looks. We are going for low temperature cooking. If your plate is too hot you will end up with a lump of charcoal.
2. Don't be a prick - keep your fork or barbie mate prongs off my meat. Yes, there is a school of thought that you should prick snags to let the fat out. There is also a school of thought (is there such a thing as a school of one?) that Graeme Phillipson could play up front. Inside the casing is where the fat belongs - this is what makes your snag sanger taste so damn good.
3. Keep turning the suckers. This is especially true if you've messed up point one and have your hotplate too high.
4. Cook more than you think you need because they will all get eaten, even if it's by Gary J's dog.
5. Start earlier than you think. The worst thing you can hear is someone pestering you "are they ready yet?" While I prefer not to give customers undercooked salmonella laden pig gristle I make an exception for anyone who says "are they ready yet?" three times. They get the rawest one I've got.
6. Keep your cool. Remember no matter how hot it gets it will be someone else's turn to do it next time while you kick back and enjoy the rewards.
7. Never use a mobile phone while cooking a BBQ. You run the risk of a: turning the snags with your phone and then having to clean the grease out of your keypad. Or b: pressing your red hot Barbie mate to your precious ear hole.
Do you have any more tips to add to this?

ReplyDelete"pig gristle" will that mean we are having pork snags and not the usual beef ones you get at bbq's in Australia.
ReplyDeleteIf I just happen to accidently cook vegetarian burgers and sausages, do you think anyone would notice?
ReplyDeleteFair question. If we get some vegie sausages will you eat and buy any? And how specific are you about where on the plate they're cooked, what tongs are used etc?
ReplyDeleteWe are playing with pink balls and have veggie burgers/sausages. We'll be a laughing stock!
ReplyDeleteJesus, I forgot about the see through shorts.
