Broil King Recipe: APPLE PORK LOIN

April 25, 2018taappliance Leave a comment

Something about the combination of apple and pork just works so well. You’ll get the best results from a long (24 hour) marinating time.

INGREDIENTS

1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
3 1/2 lb pork loin

DIRECTIONS

In a small mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except the olive oil. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Place the pork loin in a heavy resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over top. Place the bag in a flat dish. Marinate for 6 – 24 hours turning occasionally.
Place drip pan beneath grids, fill it half full with water or a combination of water, wine and apple cider. Preheat barbecue on HIGH. Reduce heat to LOW, brush grids with olive oil, and place roast on the grids. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade.

Broil King: HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY CAST IRON COOKING GRIDS?

June 5, 2017taappliance Leave a comment

Much like a cast iron frying pan, well-maintained cast iron grids can provide years of trouble-free use and prevent food from sticking to your grids. To keep your cast iron grids in top-notch condition, heat your grill to about 400°, turn your burners to low and coat your cooking grids with oil using a towel, basting brush or oil sprayer. Frequent reseasoning of your cast iron grids is always recommended.

Broil King: Smoking Wood Guide

May 17, 2017taappliance Leave a comment

Smoking is another seasoning to add to grilled favourites. Like spices, different woods impart very different flavours – from the intense, spicy notes of mesquite and hickory, to the sweet and fragrant notes of apple and cherry.

Type	Flavour	Ideal Meats
Mesquite	Pungent, Smoky, Spicy	Beef, Pork
Hickory	Pungent, Smoky	Beef, Lamb, Pork
Whiskey	Spicy, Smoky	Pork, Poultry, Beef
Maple	Sweet, Smoky	Pork, Poultry
Pecan	Rich, Flavourful	Pork, Poultry, Lamb
Cherry	Sweet, Smoky	Pork, Poultry
Apple	Sweet, Smoky	Pork, Poultry, Seafood, Cheeses
Alder	Mild, Smoky	Lamb, Pork
Cedar	Bright, Spicy, Smoky	Seafood, Cheeses

If you’ve never done any smoking before, don’t overdo it – start with a small amount of wood chips (1/2 cup or so), and soak them in liquid for at least 1/2 hour. Drain the wood chips, and then scatter them directly on top of the smoldering coals.

Broil King Grilling Techniques: Indirect Grilling

May 1, 2017taappliance Leave a comment

The indirect method of grilling is a technique for cooking larger cuts of meat such as roasts or poultry. As the name implies, the food is not grilled directly over the heat but by hot air circulating around the food. This set up means there is no need to turn or baste the food. The result is delicious, worry-free barbecuing with little chance of flare-ups.

In this segment BBQ Naz shows you how to grill using the Indirect method. Indirect cooking is great for cuts of meat that take a while to cook. The indirect, convection oven like way the heat circulates around the oven keep the food moist. Watch and enjoy!

DRIP PAN METHOD

Juices and drippings fall and mix with the contents of the drip pan. This mixture will vapourize, impart delicious flavours and ensure a moist and succulent roast, chicken or turkey.

To use the drip pan method:

Remove the grids and place the drip pan on top of the heat medium
Pour water or other cooking liquid, such as fruit juice or wine, into the drip pan
Replace the cooking grids
Preheat the grill on HIGH for 10 minutes then adjust the heat to MEDIUM or MEDIUM/LOW
Spray or brush the grids with cooking oil, then place the meat directly on the grids above the drip pan
Close the lid, and sit back and relax as your food becomes infused with delicious flavour

ONE-BURNER METHOD

Indirect Cooking - One Burner

Place a drip pan over the heat medium, under the cooking grids, on the side of the grill where you will be turning off the burner
Preheat the grill on HIGH and then turn off one burner.
Brush or spray the cooking grids with cooking oil.
When grilling beef or pork sear the meat on all sides using the lit side of the grill and then transfer it over to the unlit side.
Regulate the heat setting to maintain your desired temperature, (generally MEDIUM)
This method is wonderful not only for roasts but also for thicker steaks, chops and bone-in cuts of chicken.

Broil King Grilling Techniques: Planking

April 17, 2017taappliance Leave a comment

PLANKING

Another unique and delicious way to grill food is by using a wooden plank. This is a surefire way to get delicious results and wow your dinner guests. The smoke created from the plank sitting directly above a lit burner infuses the meat with unsurpassed grilled flavour.

Using a plank is simple:

1. Soak it in water for at least an hour and pat it dry
2. Pre-heat your grill on HIGH for 10 minutes
3. Coat both sides of the plank with olive oil then place the seasoned meat on it
4. Place the plank on the grill directly over the lit burner and reduce the heat to MEDIUM-LOW
5. Cook the meat to its desired doneness
6. Cedar planks are ideal for salmon but don’t be afraid to try other meats with it. Pork goes great on a maple plank and lamb is delicious on alder.

Note: Make sure to be careful while handling the plank after grilling and that it is fully extinguished before discarding.
