Visiting Sydney? You Should Try The BBQ
Posted 12-19-2014 at 02:28 AM by smithmartin900
If you travel to Australia for the first time, you may not be aware of the iconic status barbecue has here. But you'll realise it soon after you arrive Down Under. Aussie barbie (a local slang for 'Australian barbecue' if you didn't know) is everywhere and anywhere around. No matter how many visit-worthy landmarks exist in Sydney, BBQ is an absolute must-try. And if you have friends who live here, you won't ever have to go to a special restaurant, because backyard grill gatherings are common events any weekend.
A Really Old Story
The special place that barbecue has in Australian culture definitely has much to do with the great weather that is extremely inviting when it comes to outdoor cooking. It is an old tradition that has developed through the centuries before it turned to what we see in the present day. Also, a big role was played by the numerous emblematic advertising campaigns from the recent past (especially a TV commercial with Paul Hogan from 1984) that always stressed the importance of BBQ as a part of local culture.
There is barely a single house in Sydney without a grill placed in the backyard or elsewhere across the garden: from classic gas and charcoal barbecues to state-of-the-art modern outdoor kitchens equipped with oven-like units.
The Aussie Style Barbecuing
Australians use their BBQs in many ways – at weekend gatherings, for regular everyday meat preparation or to make a meal while having a family picnic out in the wild. Because of this extended popularity, grill equipment is installed at most of the public parks and other similar locations. Aussie habits may vary widely: from simple hot dogs with just bread and ketchup to the most sophisticated gourmet dinner. And the drinks list is virtually unlimited – beer, wine, champagne or alcohol-free cocktails for the children.
After The Eating, Here Comes The Cleaning
If you think that BBQ means only sizzling sausages, pork chops and prawns, then you should think about what happens after a massive weekend cookout. The huge amount of meat that enters and leaves the grill area causes a lot of contamination that has to be dealt with promptly. And Aussie people are the experts in BBQ cleaning and maintenance, too.
One of the best way to clean is as you try to prevent the creation of excessive filth. Australians always apply enough oil to the grates prior to putting the meat, thus minimising the risk of sticking. Of course, grates are regularly dipped in hot water and treated with mild cleaners to ensure their shine. Barbecue stones and wire brushes are also decent sanitising options. As owners of BBQ cleaning business share, many householders around the world are afraid to use burning-off as a grill care method, but here is something tourists can learn from Aussies: keeping the temperature at the maximum for about 15 minutes after barbecuing can eliminate more than 90% of health-threatening germs found on the surface.
