1. Pretreatment of bamboo sticks
Soaking: Soak the bamboo sticks in water for about 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. This can prevent the bamboo sticks from being scorched or burned black due to high temperature during the grilling process.
Preheating: It is also a good idea to preheat the bamboo sticks, that is, preheat the bamboo sticks in the oven or grill, and then string the ingredients for grilling, so that the ingredients can be cooked faster.
2. Preparation and stringing of ingredients
Ingredient processing: Cut the ingredients to be grilled into appropriate sizes so that they can be heated evenly. At the same time, when stringing the ingredients, try to make the gaps between the ingredients uniform so that the heat can be evenly transferred to each part of the ingredients.
Skewering skills: When using bamboo sticks to string ingredients, make sure that the bamboo sticks penetrate the ingredients and are firmly fixed to prevent the ingredients from slipping during the grilling process. In addition, the bamboo sticks can be skewered crosswise to increase the stability of the ingredients.
3. Precautions during the barbecue process
Heat control: Controlling the heat is the key to avoid excessive fire causing the food to burn or too low heat causing the food to be undercooked.
Brushing oil: During the barbecue process, you need to constantly turn and rotate the barbecue skewers, and brush some oil on the food and bamboo sticks in time. This not only increases the taste of the food, but also acts as a lubricant, reduces the friction between the bamboo sticks and the grill, and reduces the risk of bamboo sticks being burned. At the same time, oil can also help the ingredients better lock in moisture and aroma.
Observation and adjustment: During the barbecue process, pay close attention to the changes in the ingredients and bamboo sticks. If you find that the bamboo sticks begin to "squeak" or the color becomes darker, you should apply oil with a brush in time to prevent burning. In addition, the barbecue time should be reasonably controlled according to the type and size of the ingredients to avoid excessive barbecue time causing food to burn or nutrient loss.
4. Safety and hygiene
Fire safety: During the barbecue process, you need to pay attention to fire safety and avoid fire risks. Make sure there are no flammable items around the barbecue site, and prepare fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment.
Personal hygiene: Before grilling, make sure your hands and ingredients are clean. Use clean tableware and grilling tools to avoid cross contamination.
Environmental hygiene: After grilling, clean up the barbecue area and garbage in time to keep the environment clean.
