Barbequing can be a risky business. You bring your friends and family over for some home-cooked goodness but how do you expect to know your barbecue is going to end up good? What if it's not as good as the other time you cooked it? Including for seasoned Barbecue vets, getting your meat consistently perfect is something that could be more than a little hard. I'm here to say that it is totally easy to do, and here are a few ways that will help: 1. Purchase ribs that are evenly covered in meat. In other words, do not buy a slab that is covered in fat on one side and fleshy on the other side. Becareful slabs that have seeable bones! 2. Give one pound of ribs per person. This is a good helping but for larger appetites, allow them two! 3. When preparing the carvary, ensure that you remove the membrane on the underside of the ribs with a knife. If you don't it blocks the flavor experience. 4. It's best to cover your ribs in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. 5. Never think about boiling those ribs! Above all else, boiling the carvary causes it to lose all its taste. If you just have to pre-cook your ribs before slapping them on the cooker, try steaming your slabs instead as this will assist lock the taste in. 6. Before you put down your ribs on the grate for Barbecuing or smoking, make sure you coat the metal with a large helping of oil. 7. Barbecuing needs constant attention! The moment as it goes on your grate, stay close by and keep watching it. Watch the cooking temperature and avoid going above 250 degrees Fahrenheit -- the best ribs are cooked slowly over indirect heat for about five hours. 8. Put down that fork! Always use tongs to handle your carvary once it's on the grate. Why poke the pork and let the taste ooze out if you don't have to? 9. If you're going to baste during cooking stay away from anything that has sugar in it. The best things to use vinegar and/or water-based items only. 10. Only lay on the BBQ sauce in the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. Any sooner than that and the heat will cause the sauce to caramelize and burn your food. 11. Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before you serve them up. This is just a courtesy -- you do not want to burn your guests' mouths with red hot sauce! You might just lose some friends. Now the only thing left to do is to go out and follow these tips. Good luck with your barbecuing!!
