Start practicing new recipes 

You’ll be amazed at all the different recipes that you can cook on a BBQ. Some you may consider a hob or oven dinner when in fact, it tastes a lot better when being cooked on the barbie. As summer approaches, this is the time to start researching new recipes and giving them a go before you invite your loved ones around to try them. When trying new recipes, it’s always useful to find cocktails that you can make to match the food you are preparing.  (cocktails in a can are sometimes easier, instead of making each drink individually). 

Research a new BBQ 

When did you buy your last BBQ grill? Is now the time to consider buying a new one? New BBQs are being launched yearly, with new technology being added to them, to make them even more impressive. If you bought yours a long time ago, now could be the time to think about getting a new one. The longer the time you leave between your old and new BBQ, the bigger the difference that you will notice when you get your new one. 

Learning new cooking techniques 

When you are cooking a meal in the kitchen, there are many techniques that you can apply to your cooking to improve it, the same can be said with a BBQ. There are various techniques that you can start working on, to make cooking on the BBQ easier for you and more efficient. For example, marinating overnight can add a lot of flavour to meats, as well as playing around with the herbs you add to them. If you look on YouTube, you will find various tutorial videos which you may be interested in. You will also see tutorial videos on Instagram or TikTok which may also help you improve your cooking techniques on the BBQ.
