3 Quick and Simple BBQ Tips

Are you planning on grill out this summer? But you aren’t a BBQ-ing expert? Well there is no need to worry because grilling is much easier than you’d expect. Here are three quick and simple BBQ-ing tips to try in your apartment this summer.

Don’t pierce the meat.  Making holes in the meat will only allow the juices to escape during the cooking process. Just take your time and let the meat cook properly.

Wait on the sauces: wait until the final five to 10 minutes of cooking to apply the glazes and sauces to your meat. Do it sooner will only cause it to blackening because of the sugar in the sauce.

Don’t make rare hamburgers: many people love their meats rare, but ground beef has much more bacteria and should be cooked thoroughly.
