Wild Meat – Simple Tricks To Better The Grill

December 2, 2018 by Sky Box Fun No Comments
wild meat grilling

No doubt a BBQ is not meant to be simple, but never the less some tricks should bring on the deep flavors and indeed the colors just right with the wild meats. Rather than dwell bringing out the more convenient flavors, the grill master must seek out the most subtle of touches that would ensure a good taste at all times.

Wood

If ever there were a defining aspect to the BBQ, then it has to be wood used in the fire. The experienced hands at the grill would always insist on using some of the fruitier types of wood and never the hardwood variety at all. Most good racks start with wood chips to start out the fire. The small chips are used to control the ferocity of the fire better in case it gets out of hand. Either way, it helps to soak the chips in water before using them for the light.

The act of soaking wood chips is never with the pouring out of water upon them. Just placing the wooden logs wrapped round in cloth would do just fine. Just the tinge of moisture would serve the purpose well.

Rest the wild meat before the consumption

What this means is that the grilled wild meat should be placed on the serving table to allow it to soak in the cooking action thoroughly. Most of the time due to the very dull nature of the heat being applied to the BBQ meat, the cooking process entirely doesn’t stop after the game has been taken off the fire. Allowing the finished grill to stand would blunt out the sharper components of the taste as well as ensure that the juices are soaked right through.

Lighting the grill

A widespread occurrence these days is the use of a gas flame to have the meat done. Most of the time, this sort of treatment would tend to overheat the meat and allow the flavor to sort of go up in smoke. The gas flame tends to heat up rather rapidly when it is the slow build-up of heat that is so necessary to cook out the meats.

Another of the common mistakes is to use lighter fluid and even something inflammable as kerosene or petrol to light the BBQ fire. Not only does this affect the taste of the grilled meat, but it does also tend to bring on a poor presentation due to the burnt appearance that it provides the grill.

Using aluminum foil

Quite like the paper towel in the kitchens, the aluminum foil tends to play more or less the same role at the BBQ sessions. The main reason to pick out the foils is due to the non-combustible nature of the foils. The metal foils are more of the friendlier option as far as the environment is concerned and that the foils can be cut into rather small pieces does work to the advantage of the product.

Choosing The Best Outdoor Spot For A Grill

November 22, 2018 by Sky Box Fun No Comments

A BBQ is more than just cooking in the outdoors. It is usually an occasion in itself and something that people look up to during long summers. People tend to relish a well-done steak during the warmer summers than, the colder winters. It stands to good reason that a right spot to have the BBQ only further improves on the taste and texture of the meat being handled. The real old hands at conducting BBQs would try to pick out a spot for the grill that is not too windy and someplace that does not have the stagnant air either. There are the folks who drive around for no particular reason trying to fit in a BBQ at the earliest convenient spot. So in a sense, the spot to have a grilling outing does play an active role it the whole issue.

The Waterfront Grill

There would not be many people who would not find the sight of water meeting sky as romantic enough. At the same time, it need not mean that a waterside retreat has to be just romantic alone. Most water bodies have this thing about influencing people and their minds like no other natural feature. More than the slow flow of the water, the BBQ by the water is meant to relax the whole self and not just the mind alone.

BBQ in the wild

Few people are afforded with the luxury of staying close to a nature reserve or within driving distance to the wilder side of nature. This is the main reason why people look to have a BBQ in the wild most of the time. The sheer novelty can be both stimulating as well as exhilarating. A good grill at the end of a hard day’s work not just gets people together but helps sign out the day in style. One of the key takeaways from a wild BBQ is that people tend to remember not just what was served at the table but more importantly, what was discussed among them. In fact, few people can entirely forget the burning sun downs spent among friends and with just the grill to work on.

A grill by the beach

The swish of the seashore can be further accentuated by keeping a good BBQ right with the friends. When the salty air does mix with the burning smell of hot fat, the senses are given a boost so to speak. Something to keep the cool would be natural in the circumstances, and most beach locations around the world are full of things to do when out on a grilling trip.

Conclusion

When it comes to a good BBQ spot, the opinions are somewhat divided among the various people involved in the grill. But what does stay true is the nature of bonds that are established between folks who gather around for a BBQ no matter the kind of hurried lives that they lead most of the time.

As technology evolved and more efficient grills came to be used, the role of grills in cooking became more predominant than before and this brought a greater popularity to vegan grilling than ever before. It was no longer a chore to start off a grill and it was possible to start off one at very short notice as well.
More than technology it was the ability to try out different types of cooking combinations that took vegan grilling to new heights of use and acceptability. People got introduced to newer combinations of food and often a more enjoyable eating practices as well. Often with food it was the introduction of newer tastes than sticking with what has been in use that does bring about a greater acceptance.

As with any new concept the vegan grilling is set to catch up with more people that simply want to try out something different and that could well be a start to a new culinary journey.

Grilling Time For Ribeye Steaks

July 18, 2018 by Sky Box Fun No Comments

grilling ribeye steak

Not sure about the right grilling time for ribeye steaks? Many people are curious about the right grilling time for ribeye steaks. Getting the time right for grilling steaks is based on two important factors. In order to get the right grilling time for ribeye steaks, you must consider the thickness of the steaks and how well done you want the steaks to be.

For steaks that are about an inch and a half in thickness the grilling time for ribeye steaks is about fourteen minutes. This will provide you with a steak that is medium rare. With this grilling time for ribeye steaks, the steaks are cooked approximately seven minutes on each side.

If the steaks are thicker and/or if you prefer for your steaks to be more well done, then you will need to increase the grilling time for the steaks. Keep in mind that you do need to stand nearby and keep an eye on the steaks while they finish cooking because they can become overdone extremely quickly.

One tip that should be kept in mind when trying to get the right grilling time for ribeye steaks is that you need to remove the steaks from the refrigerator about thirty minutes before you actually plan to put them on the grill. You can allow the coals to heat during this time. This will allow the steaks to come to room temperature. This step is imperative to getting the grilling time right for ribeye steaks. If you place the steaks on the grill while they are cold they will tend to cook unevenly.

Another tip to keep in mind in order to get the right grilling time for ribeye steaks is that it is best to use an indirect grilling method. This means placing the steaks away from the direct heat of the grill. This method is commonly used for meats that will cook in less than thirty minutes, which is the case with ribeye steaks. Unless the steaks are extremely thick the indirect method is typically best in order to get delicious steaks on a consistent basis.

You may also wish to keep a bottle of water nearby while grilling the steaks to help put out small flames. This will assist in the grilling process and help to prevent the steaks from becoming overcooked or drying out during the cooking process.
