The Various Ways Of Grilling Pork

By Hedrick Lepsch


A barbeque pork recipe can be one of the most difficult things to perfect. It isn't just time spent working on the flavors, or figuring how hot for how long-it's also trying to master the different subtle ways that wood, sauce, meat and presentation can work together to make a mind-blowing bbq pork recipe.

Naturally, the most important part of barbeque is the meat. Different meats bring different things to the table-beef tastes rich and full, deer tastes a little wild and pork is...indescribable. One of the hardest things to decide is whether you want to focus on a certain cut of meat or learn the niceties of several.

Grilling safety is, or at least should be, a vital step in having a fun and safe summer meal outdoors. Safely grilling involves multiple points of awareness, but the first and main safety concern for grilling safety should be fire safety. Fire safety while grilling can be accomplished much in the same way as cooking safely within the home. Just as one would not leave a hot stove top on, or leave food cooking on the stove or in the oven without supervision, so too should a person who is grilling food outside remain with the food at all times while it is being cooked.

One of the first things that the owner's manual is likely to say is that the grill is intended for outside use only, as almost all grills are. Using grills indoors can promote hazardous situations including the increased risk of fire danger, smoke inhalation, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Unlike the kitchen, a grill operates on charcoal or gas lines that feed directly into the grill and therefore will require additional knowledge and safety precautions to operate. Also, because the food on the grill in usually placed directly over the heat source, the chances of a grease fire are grater on an outside grill than they are in the kitchen.

Discovering the perfect balance of ingredients for sauce-regardless of what the ingredients are-is what takes the most time in perfecting barbeque. Whether you cook it in a pit for the day or throw the cut on the grill in your back yard, seasoning the meat right is what will make your cooking stand out from all the rest.

Oddly enough, it's usually the small and simple things that will make the biggest differences when all is said and done. Just the right amount of salt, not too much sugar, a little more of this or that, and a little less of that. It's always a balancing act, and when you adjust one thing, it's often enough to change how all the other flavors interact. It's truly an art form.

When most people start looking to take their barbeque to the next level, one of the first things they do is to go to the store, pick their favorite meat and a good sauce. Most people try to enhance the overall flavor of their meat once they've gotten it to the point they want it to be, and this is probably one of the best approaches to take.

Remembering fire safety while manning a gas grill is equally as important as when a person is using a charcoal grill. Gas fueled grills will require a person to be knowledgeable about how to use their gas canister or tank, how to operate the controls of the grill, and how to clear the lines of any clogs should something become lodged in the gas lines.

With these safety tips in mind, a family can enjoy their best bbq sauce, baby back ribs, sizzling steaks, and other grilling favorites all while keeping safe. And a safe day grilling is always the best day grilling.
