Now summer is upon us most of us will be getting the barbecues out and using them once more. There are many benefits to be had from cooking food on a barbecue rather than in the kitchen. When you cook food on a barbecue it seems to tastes much nicer. The reason for this being that the intense heat produced by a barbecue helps to actually caramelize the exterior of the food. A barbecue not only helps to actually make food look more appetizing by turning the food a golden brown color, but also you'll find it helps to bring out more of the foods flavor. Of course if you'd like your food to taste even more wonderful adding some wood chips to it can prove extremely useful. You'll often find using a barbecue can prove more convenient but also easy to use. Once assembled you simply need to light the charcoal or turn on the gas supply and leave it for a little while to heat up. Most people think barbecues have only been designed for cooking all sorts of meat and fish on them. Yet there are plenty of models now available that allow you to cook a whole array of foods including vegetables as well. Furthermore you'll find when it comes to barbecuing food you have a lot more cooking methods you can utilize. As well as cooking food by direct heat or indirect heat you can also cook your food using smoking and rotisserie methods as well. Plus of course you'll find barbecues enable you to cook meals for the family that are much healthier. However rather than sticking with the usual sausage and burgers why not consider trying out some of the recipes we offer in this book.

Just about anyone can grill a burger or steak without a cookbook, but rotisserie grilling is tricky. The Rotisserie Grilling Cookbook is your secret weapon. With everyday grilling, most people cook things with roughly even thickness and they can tell when the meats are done just by eyeballing them. Consider something bigger, like a leg of lamb, a whole turkey, or a full pork shoulder, and you have a problem--most grills will completely char the outside long before the inside is cooked to a safe temperature. The solution: get a rotisserie. The Rotisserie Grilling Cookbook shows how to set up, maintain, use and troubleshoot a rotisserie spit. It includes 105 recipes to expand your outdoor cooking repertoire, including a dry-brined Thanksgiving turkey, a whole country ham for other holidays, a whole chicken, duck, game hens, and big cuts like a beef ribeye roast or a leg of lamb. Beyond the meat recipes that are the core of the book, it includes rubs, glazes, and mops that are specifically crafted for long, slow cooking over a rotisserie, and even some ideas, like a spit-roasted whole pineapple, from beyond the world of poultry and meats.
