Anna Marie of The Unilever Consumer Kitchens on barbecuing vs. grilling.
Did you know that the terms barbecuing and grilling — although we use them interchangeably — actually mean two different things? Barbecuing refers to foods that are cooked over low or indirect heat for a long period of time, such as less tender cuts of meat, ribs and brisket, are two examples. They usually have a smoky flavor from cooking over different woods. Grilling refers to foods cooked directly over high heat for a short period of time.
But putting semantics aside, now is the time for some great finger-lickin’ fare. Try Maple Glazed Ribs, which achieves a barbecue effect from the ribs cooking in the oven so that they’ll be tender when you grill them. If you want a smoky barbecue flavor, try Smokin’ Succulent Grilled Pork, which has ground chipotle chili powder mixed with mayonnaise to flavor the meat. It’s the chipotle chili powder that gives the pork a smoky flavor.
So whether you call it barbecuing, grilling or just outdoor cooking, tonight's the night to serve up some great grilled foods — and don't forget to pass around lots of napkins!
