Tips for Brilliant BBQing

Simple techniques to maximise flavour, improve presentation and deliver consistently great results from the grill.

Great BBQ is all about flavour, control and timing. Get the fundamentals right and you’ll achieve better colour, texture and consistency—every time.

Prep for Flavour

  • Marinate properly – overnight where possible, or at least 2 hours
  • Shorter marinades – steaks, fish and seafood need only around 1 hour
  • Season last – add salt just before grilling
  • Drain excess marinade before placing on the grill
  • BBQ on the bone – improves flavour and presentation
  • Match flavours:
    • Poultry & pork – herbed oil dressings
    • Fish & chicken – citrus or wine marinades
    • Red meat – sweeter glazes and bastes

Cooking Techniques

  • Adjust grill height for delicate or slower-cooking foods
  • Seal meat properly to lock in flavour and juices
  • Let meat rest for a few minutes before serving
  • Use simple basters like cracked pepper, sea salt and quality oils
  • Turn twice, flip once for the best colour and grill marks

Keep It Clean

After each grilling cycle, brush the grill clean to remove carbonised debris. A clean surface improves flavour, prevents sticking and maintains consistent results.

Master these basics and you’ll deliver BBQ food that looks better, tastes better and keeps customers coming back.
