Our Top 5 Tips for BBQ Success this Summer

1. Just like our meat boxes good things come to those who wait. The best BBQ’s involve meat cooked on a low heat, for a long time. If you are using a charcoal BBQ wait until the coals are glowing white before cooking.

2. Spray the meat with a little fruit juice. This not only caramelises the meat as the fruit's natural sugars are cooked, but also locks the moisture in. Apple juice works particularly well with Well Hung Pork and Chicken.

3. Experiment with meat marinades. A few of our own personal favourites include peanut butter and ginger, lemon and garlic, and mint and redcurrant. Use fresh ingredients, mix with oil and marinade for a minimum of two hours, or ideally overnight.

4. Allow the meat to come up to room temperature before cooking. Don’t cook straight from the fridge as it will take much longer to heat the core. Remember to use separate utensils for raw and cooked meats.

5. Don’t laugh, it is possible to BBQ vegetables as well. Try par-boiling some baby new potatoes, then make a bag out of tin foil, add olive oil, seasoning, rosemary and butter, seal and pop on the BBQ.
