Despite September starting and Autumn on the horizon, the sunshine is set to make an appearance this weekend, so there is no better time to barbecue like a pro! ☀️🍖 Our experts at Cape Herb & Spice have you covered following a recent collaboration with grill king Dan Whittaker, aka Elky of The Smokin' Elk Barbecue School. Here are some top tips for achieving a great barbecue: 👉 Fish on the grill? Slice a lemon and place them on the grill before laying your fish on top. The lemon will infuse the fish with a zesty, citrussy tang and prevent the fish from sticking and crumbling on the heat. 👉 The best way to check if you have cooked steak to peoples liking is with a touch test using a pair of tongs. Rare should remain soft and springy, medium rare should be a little firmer with some resistance, medium should be firm and well done should be very firm with considerable resistance. 👉 If you want to create a simple homemade marinade use a seasoning like Cape Herb & Spice with butter, or an oil that has a high smoke point such as sunflower or sesame. #SeptemberSun #BarbecueTips #CapeHerbandSpice

Clean your gas grill This technique might take longer than 5 minutes depending upon the amount of residue and whether you’ve maintained a “clean” grill. • Just turn it on high, and let the grates get hot (or use this technique when you’re done cooking, while the grill is still hot). • Hold a cut lemon with long-handled tongs, or stick it on the end of a long-handled fork (either way, be careful!). • Dip the lemon into a bowl of salt and then rub it across the grates from front to back. The lemon's acid will cut grease, while the salt is a scrubbing agent.
