To make a perfect barbecue is not really a simple accomplishment.
There is an art of barbecuing the perfect meal and not everyone can master this skill.
The secret is to follow the rules for barbecuing to get a meal that comes out well.
It starts with the marinate, which should have the right combination of spices which helps in cooking the meat to the right consistency which is soft and tender and with the marinate well absorbed.
It is not just the meat which is barbecued but also other stuff like bananas and cheese which can be combined with chicken and other meats.
Once the art of barbecuing is learned, the person can create their own different recipes to suit their palate.
Food is cooked on a grill in several ways.
It could be done in a simple way by placing three stones around some firewood which is set alight and a piece of meat is put on a skewer and held over this fire and turned around so that it cooks evenly on all sides.
There are several more sophisticated ways of grilling meat on a gas or electric grill or even using the stove top grill to barbecue your meal.
The choice of a barbequed meal ranges from meat, chicken, sea food, fruit, cheese, vegetables and even bread.
One can have the whole meal cooked on a grill.
One important fact which should be kept in mind is that the fat should not be burnt while doing the grilling.
This is because the burned fat is dangerous to health and can cause cancer.
Burning it also mars the taste of the food.
To avoid this one can trim the fat before barbecuing the meat and ensuring that bones and gristle are also removed.
By learning to adjust the heat one can never go wrong but this obviously comes with experience of making a good grilled meal.
