Enhance The Flavor Of The Grilled Food With BBQ Basting Sauce

By Roger Sullivan


People bond more around food, especially around delicious food. A common sight in the neighborhood, on weekends, is families on their back yards setting tables, and grills in order for them to have quality time with each other. Family members will remember the stories, laughter and the meals that were share during the party. However, if the meal being served does not agree with your palate, one would have bad memories instead of good. Especially on grilling, it is inevitable to have burnt meats or not juicy ones. Fortunately, there are many approaches in grilling, bbq basting sauce is one of the approach that can ensure good memories.

The cooking method called basting is used to keep the foods moist. Moisture is not the only contribution this method can give, it can also add flavor to the meal. With the food properly moist and flavorful, only good memories will be made.

In basting, the cook will use a basting mop. However, it is not all the time the cook will use a mop on every grilling technique. If one is using a wood burning pit, then the mop should be used, but allowing the meat first to dry before applying more. One should also use this tool when using a charcoal grill, but also apply the mop when one is adding more charcoal.

The use of a water smoker is another technique. This type of grill uses liquid to cook the meats, the water vapors will moisten the meats, therefore, using the utensil is not necessary. Wood ovens is another approach in barbecuing, in this approach the basting mop is unnecessary since the chamber is tightly closed that helps in keeping the moisture in.

The chef can choose among the many techniques in grilling that is suitable for the cook. One can choose the method of direct heat. It is the most common and basic of all, the cook is to place the food directly over the heat, and sealing the flavors through searing.

Another one is smoking. This is called the low and slow approach. It can be only done outdoors, and involves grilling the food at a low temperature, closed chamber, and for a long period, one should get up early if one is smoking meat to avoid the guests leaving hungry.

A rotisserie grilling is an additional barbecue art that is gaining popularity over time. It is also named as spit roasting. The meat is skewered in a metal stick that is connected to a motorized rotor which allows the meat to rotate inside the grill equipment.

Other than the improvement gained from applying basting sauce on the meat, using wood can also make the meal more flavorful. One can choose one from an array of woods, like Almond wood or Apple wood, and smoking woods like Hickory and Mesquite. The firewood will produce smoke that will bring aromatic flavors to the meat.

Being the person assigned on barbecuing can be a tough job. However, with the knowledge of the different methods, usage of wood, and especially, knowing the best recipe of basting sauce and the proper application of it, that tough job can be mastered. Produce more beautiful memories by serving juicy and delicious food on the table, and the troubles in life will be kept at bay.
