BBQ'ing Pork

With Love Pork

“Since working with Love Pork I have learnt a lot – the first thing being just how easy pork is to cook. In a nutshell that simply means don’t overcook it! Once I had got the basics sorted it was more a question of ‘what can you do with pork, what does it go well with?’ The answer seems to be just about everything!”

Top Tips

For BBQ’ing Pork

 

Don’t rush

All BBQs need preheating, whatever the type.
Rule of thumb: gas: 10 mins, charcoal: 30 mins,
disposable: 15 mins. Preheating helps the meat cook
more evenly and will help prevent the burning you get
from cooking over high flames.

Nice ‘n’ slick

Oil the grid lightly to stop the meat sticking.

Stay on the ball

Once the meat’s on the grill let someone else sort the beers.

Keep it cool

Don’t leave raw meat warming in the sun at the side of the barbie! Stick it in a cool bag with ice packs until you’re ready for it.

Slow it down

If the meat’s browning too quickly, move it to the edge of the grill, or better still up to the next shelf.

Keep it clean

Have a bowl of soapy water on hand to wash your hands (and the utensils) after handling the raw meat.

Check it out

Prod sausages and burgers (with separate prodders, mind) before serving them up – if they’re cooked, the juices will run clear.

Be a pro!

If you want to impress your mates and make sure your meat’s cooked to perfection, get yourself a meat thermometer! For medium, you’re looking for around 70ºC in the middle.

And just when you think its all over....

Don’t forget to keep raw and cooked meat separate, you numpty!
