Dear people, the local grill culture needs improvement – an unfortunate fact that could be observed during the recent hot weekends with the obligatory grill invitations: on the grill are still placed on the grill and cooked to the driest. Or you can buy one of those strangely orange, pre-marinated pieces of meat in the supermarket. Well, maybe you can cover everything with a Heinz sauce at the end.
People! There is still room for improvement! We can do better.
Nothing against a good bratwurst, but with the least effort you can benefit much more from a barbecue evening. The keyword is: marinated!

- There are numerous versions of marinades: sweet, sour, spicy, vinegar-, oil- or yogurt-based and and and.
- How long the grilled food should be marinated depends on the recipe, of course. But as a rough rule: beef, lamb or pork can be marinated for 6-12 hours. Chicken up to 4 hours. Fish and vegetables about 30 minutes to 1 hour. If marinating contains a lot of lemon juice, vinegar or other acid, it should not be marinated for too long anyway (less than 2 hours).
- Is the barbecue party spontaneous and nighttime marinade in the fridge isn’t on the cards? Hey, even half an hour is better than nothing, especially since you can (and should!) Sprinkle the pieces with the remaining marinade while grilling.
- You can mix everything in a bowl and add the meat (or meat substitute). But resealable fresh bags are best suited for this. So the marinade reaches everywhere. And pushing it is such a nice feeling. mmm
