subject: What Really Is A Barbecue Sauce Party! [print this page] Condiments are substances applied to food to improve or enhance flavor. They usually come in the form of powders, spreads and sauces. A condiment is typically squirted, sprinkled or smeared, with commercially prepared condiment products often packaged in plastic or glass containers. Some are served as single-serving packets too as what is common in cafeterias and airlines. Of course, barbecue sauce parties and cookouts are never complete without a steady supply of condiments.
Condiments and Smashing Barbecue Sauce Parties
Nothing spoils a barbecue quicker than a shortage of condiments. Whether it's ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, relish or barbecue sauce, finding yourself running low on any of these items can spell disaster for a party. You see, a condiment gives food that added kick to keep people coming back for more. Further, half the fun of eating is being able to adjust the taste of the food to suit each individual's particular taste buds so without condiments, people will have a tough time managing this.
Holding a hit barbecue event isn't easy. But if you keep your shelves well-stocked in the condiment department, you're halfway there. Here are other tips to ensure your next barbecue is a smashing success.
Get out that old barbecue grill that's been collecting dust in the garage. Fix the patio and wash all the utensils you'll be using before you start grilling.
Prepare the outdoor cooking recipes in advance. Visit the market and buy the freshest meats needed. When it comes to cooking a whole chicken on the grill, stuff it with a half-filled soda can. The soda aroma will stick to the chicken and give it a great mapley taste. If others don't appreciate it, have them slather up some condiments on the chicken. When cooking burgers, put holes in the center so they'll cook thoroughly. The holes will close up once they're grilled so don't worry about it! Shop around for great condiment and barbecue sauce products. Make sure to check out the site on this page. It's got an online catalog of the best barbecue sauce this side of Dixie.
Barbecue sauce plays a huge role in the success of a BBQ party. Most BBQ sauce tends to be sweet. If you are not afraid of spice, try one of the hotter rib ideas. Mix caster sugar, hot paprika, dry chili flakes, brown muscovado sugar, salt, pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper to make a rub. Apply rub to ribs, let sit for an hour to absorb flavors, then smoke.
The typical cooking time is one hour per pound of ribs. If you prefer to mix spicy and sweet, try one of the rib ideas that combine these. Make a rub by combining sugar, garlic salt, chili powder, salt, paprika, ground black pepper and cayenne pepper. Apply the rub and put your ribs in the smoker. In the last fifteen minutes, apply a glaze made of ketchup, English mustard, white vinegar and brown sugar that has been simmered for a while to meld the flavors. At first taste, you get the glaze with its sweet flavor. Then the heat of the rub kicks in.
