Use Lettuce, Plastic Bags, and Ice Cubes to Make Barbecuing Easier
Posted at 03:47, 25/04/2008 by LoriDeschene
Summer will be here before you know. Time for meat, and lots of it. We consulted food.ivillage.com to dig up the most interesting ideas for grilling:
  • Throwaway basting tool: Use a lettuce leaf as a great disposable baster for the barbecue.
  • Mess-free marinade: Pour your marinade into a plastic bag, slip the meat inside and turn the bag periodically so that both sides are steeped in the liquid.
  • Flame tamer: Keep a water pistol handy. Another trick is to save squeezable ketchup bottles and fill them with water for the same purpose.
  • Tip for the chef: Want to keep those burgers from falling apart when you put them on the grill? Try chilling them after you shape them. If you're in a hurry, you can simply dip them in flour, which will also do the trick.
  • Rare or medium: Accommodate everyone's burger tastes without driving yourself crazy. Stick a small piece of ice in the middle of burgers you want more rare, then cook all the burgers for the same length of time.
