Barbecue or barbecue (BBQ) has been defined as an activity of 'grilling' meat and other foods which is often done when family or friends gather.
However, barbecue actually refers to cooking techniques over a long period of time and tends to use low temperatures. So, what we have been doing so far is actually grilling or roasting meat.
Whatever the term and its meaning, you need to know the common mistakes that you and your friends probably often make at barbecues. Check out the list below, OK!
1. Do not marinate meat or other ingredients first. Marinate all the ingredients for a few hours so that the flavors are completely absorbed

7. Turning the food over and pressing it too often while it is still baking. Besides being cooked unevenly, the texture can be damaged
