Is barbeque cooking too difficult?
by Keith Barrett
plug itThose of us who struggle to produce good quality meals from a barbeque may wonder whether cooking in this way is just too difficult. Is it even possible to produce great tasting food when cooking outdoors?
The answer is clearly that it is possible to have great food from a BBQ. The reason why we know this is because professional chefs regularly produce beautiful meals in this way. So why does it seem to be so difficult for amateur cooks to replicate these meals?

Part of the reason is that we often fail to understand the way in which barbeque equipment works. This is is a big problem and isn't just confined to those who buy the latest top of the range Weber barbeques.

It's an issue for those of us cooking on charcoal or gas. If we don't understand how the equipment works and which parts of the cooking surface get the hottest then it is incredibly difficult to produce the right results.

There's clearly a need for a little bit of trial and error here. Before you next start to cook on your grill, spend some time looking at how it works and how the temperatures vary. Gaining a proper understanding will help you to cook better food.

One reason why professionals are able to provide food to a consistently high standard is because they've often had a lot of practice. This gives us another pointer to how we might expect to improve.

The more that we cook using barbeques, the more knowledge and experience that we gain. In essence, this is no different from any other form of cooking.

The key to producing better food is to know your equipment well and to be prepared to practice in order to gain more experience. As you become more experienced at cooking in this way, you'll find that you will also gain in confidence.

Before you know it, you'll be producing food to a high standard.
