Never do this: experienced chefs named the main mistakes when cooking barbecue

Barbecue cooking remains one of the hits of the summer season. Many people prefer to grill on hot days, and this is not surprising, because the temperature reaches soaring degrees indoors at home.

However, when cooking your favorite kebabs, you should not forget the basic safety rules for handling food and open flames. This will help to avoid fires and preserve your health and the health of your guests, according to the SSPDaily article.

One of the main mistakes made by grilling enthusiasts is to use the same utensils when marinating meat and placing it after cooking. This is dangerous because raw meat can contain dangerous microorganisms that will remain on a dirty plate during marinating. Therefore, an important tip is to use different utensils for marinating and eating the cooked kebab.

Garnishes and other goodies that you serve with the barbecue should be covered with a special insect net or wrapped in foil or cling film. This will protect the food from insects and other parasites that will want to be the first to eat your snacks.

When marinating meat, keep it in the refrigerator. Do not leave meat in the room, especially during periods of high temperatures, as this can provoke the growth of dangerous bacteria.

Keep the grill grate or skewers on which you cook meat clean. Simply heating the grill over the fire before cooking may not be enough. To easily clean off old grease, heat the grill over the fire, wait until it cools down a bit, and easily rinse off the dried grease and meat residue.

And finally, strictly follow fire safety rules. It's always better to prevent danger than to count the damage later. Keep fire extinguishers or a bucket of sand or water ready to quickly knock down the flames. Also, don't forget to put out the coals thoroughly if you're barbecuing over an open fire.
