Tips for Prepping and Cooking Your Food
Use Non-Reactive Bowls
When cooking make sure to use non-reactive bowls like stainless steel. They provide benefits such as:
- They are dishwasher-safe;
- They do not react to acidic ingredients;
- They do not hold odours.
Brush the Grill When It’s Hot
Debris is easier to remove from the grill when it is hot, so preheat your grill before using a long-handled wire grill brush to keep your rack free of debris from previous meals.
Don’t Forget to Use Oil!
Even after you ensure your grill is clean, lean foods may stick when placed on the grill rack. To reduce the risk of your food sticking, oil prior to placing the food on it. The best method for this is hold oil-soaked paper towel with tongs and rubbing it on your grill rack.
Choose a theme for your barbeque
Now everyone enjoys a good barbeque, but add a theme and you have got yourself a party! For example, what about a Hawaiian Luau or Christmas in July? These are ways to bring another dimension of fun for you and your guests to enjoy.

- Badminton.
- Soccer.
- Or water gun fights.
The list of possible activities goes on and on but I think you get the idea. These are all ways to create an environment that’s not only enjoyable for you but your little ones as well. Who knows, maybe you’ll even grab a water gun yourself.
