Just give it a try
One of the first things you should just do is give it a try. Experience is one of the only ways you learn your trade in anything, and grilling and cooking food this way is just another example of that. All grills are different, and whether you use something you have sat there for years, or you treat yourself to something new where you make a purchase from a Weber Specialist Dealer, you will only learn about your equipment, timings, and heat by trying it out and seeing what happens.
Get the right equipment
That being said, if you are serious about learning this cooking process, then it may be worth you looking into the equipment you have and investing in something decent. You can buy BBQs and grills, or you could even consider putting one together yourself with resources and online tutorials and videos. Some people have successfully done this and created features in their gardens. One of my musts is a grill thermometer.
Give a Business a try
Don’t put pressure on yourself
Now that there has been warmer weather, you will see this is the perfect time to switch the grill on, but what this does is provide you with an opportunity to spend time with the family, enjoying a good meal in the process. So a big tip is to not add too much pressure on yourself. Start with something simple, and check out many recipes online for ideas for rubs and options to consider. Grilling and smoking to perfection require patience, and it isn’t something you will master on your first session.
Don’t be afraid of a little research beforehand
Cooking meat on a grill is no easy thing to, and with the need to ensure that the meat you cook is thoroughly cooked all the way through, it might be an ideal time to do a little research on cooking times. This ensures that you have an indication of how long certain things will take. While a barbecue may not be an option through the winter, you can still practice your grilling skills indoors, giving you time to perfect your marinade, work on your “secret rub” recipe and even create some exciting options for your next grilling rendezvous.
Let’s hope these tips help you conquer your fear of the grill and ignite that passion to just give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.
