Family BBQs are the stuff of great memories. Who can forget when dad fell through the old garden chair – with his lunch in his lap; the kids having fun toasting marshmallows and grandparents revealing secret of when they were young!

Here are 4 ways to make your BBQ food taste even better.

No piercing
Resist the urge to pierce your meat. Piercing meat with a fork or knife releases the juices needed to keep it moist.

Low & slow
The trick to BBQs is to sear the meat on high heat and then slow cook it for the rest bbq 1.jpgof the time. Remember ‘low & slow’. Try not to turn too often, it delays cooking.

Smoky Joe
Herbs don’t just belong on your food. Throw a few herb branches or wet wood chips on the coals to get that real smoky BBQ taste.

Long soak
Marinating: pop your meat/fish/veg in a bag with the marinade. Shake it up and massage it. Pop it in the fridge for half an hour for great results.
