Get organised before you start cooking. Barbequing is a quick way to cook so make sure you have the right utensils and the food prepared before you start to avoid over-cooking your food.
Wrap vegetables, meat or fish in tin foil and place on the barbeque to cook the food without adding the charred barbeque flavour. The cooking time will be a little longer but you won’t need to clean the barbeque afterwards.
Choose fruit and vegetables that are in season and affordable over the summer months to cook on your barbeque. Try capsicum, pineapple, asparagus or tomato.
To speed up cooking times, take meat or fish out of the fridge 15 minutes before barbequing.
Barbeques aren’t just for lunch or dinner. Try cooking your favourite breakfast, such as pancakes, on the barbeque.
Don’t have a barbeque at home? Many councils provide barbeques for public use at local parks or beaches. Check out your local council website for more information.
