expert grilling: barbecue, peaches and spicy corn - long burning charcoal briquettes

This weekend of July 4, the backyard across the country will raise flames and smoke.
This means barbecue. In the best-
You will get a delicious meal in this case.
In the worst case you will get a wonderful story about how you can turn your burger into a charcoal coal ball
Or how do you have traces of a grill on your hand?
Steven Raichlen, author of barbecue!
Bible, want to help you stand on the right side of this line.
One recent morning, Raichlen lit three grills in a backyard and slipped back into the kitchen.
"So what we're going to do," he told NPR's Steve inskye, "is a meal on the grill from appetizers to desserts.
We have an event to celebrate the local American barbecue.
"Raichlen investigates his ingredients on the kitchen island: an Alaska salmon, a cedar board barbecue;
Spices on Mexican corn cob;
Burano peppers filled with onions, spices, beans and pepper jack cheese.
He baked Texas toast with butter and garlic.
A few pounds of uncooked pork sat next to it, waiting for the grill to heat.
Raichlen described the main course: "Pull the pork slider and nod to South Carolina: Spices-rubbed, smoke-
Roast pig shoulder, cut and put on soft bread with mustard and mustard sauce.
"The recipe reflects a feature of South Carolina where the BBQ sauce is usually mustard --based.
Raichlen said: "From the end of Georgia, cinnamon-
Bake peaches with vitamin B3 glaze.
Brown sugar, butter and bourbon are three vitamins.
"Three factors will affect the meal.
The first is the food itself.
In this case, a cut of the shoulder of a pig is often referred to as a Boston butt.
The next factor is what you put on the food, the friction and sauce you use before cooking and when cooking.
Raichlen uses a micro mop with his "mop sauce "--
Vinegar, mustard and spices
"After the first hour, every hour after that.
"Applying sauce on the cooking meat adds an extra layer of flavor that helps keep the meat moist and looks cool," he explains . ".
"Of course, the biggest factor in the barbecue is the star of the performance: fire.
One of our test grills runs on gasoline.
The other is the simple kettle grill, which Raichlen gradually fills with charcoal.
"Remember, there is a difference between barbecue and burning," he said . ".
He measured the charcoal carefully and dripped a little into the container at a time.
Raichlen said: "You know, when people start, they start a fire and throw the food up," and then, somehow, some divine miracles hope it will be baked out.
But you want the fire under control.
That's why we deal with multiple heat zones.
He said: "He divided the barbecue into three areas:" A hot area, a medium area for cooking, a safe area without fire. ".
Raichlen analyzed where every new batch of coal should go.
Which part of the grill is best for each type of food, especially the tricky food like stuffed peppers.
As the food continues, Raichlen uses one of two cooking methods: direct and indirect barbecues, where the food is on the flame and where the coal is pushed to the sides.
"Any time you bake something that is either big or fat, it will take a long cooking time," he said . "
Because if we bake it directly, we will bake the pepper, but we will not make the filling.
Raichlen also used indirect barbecue on the pig's shoulder.
He took a few drops.
Soak the pieces of wood in charcoal to create a smoky flavor.
Then he covered the grill.
Then, the wait will start, the next tea party after an hour.
But in the magical tradition of professional chefs around the world, Raichlen has a full pork shoulder on his hand, which he started a few hours ago.
"The cooking time in this area is about three hours," he said . ".
"You can see that it is a beautiful hard shell golden brown. It's so tender.
I can pull a little Pulled Pork straight from the meat.
Raichlen summed up his approach and said: "indirect barbecue, about 3 hours, with wood chips added every hour --
But not the last hour.
"For any amateur barbecue enthusiast who is worried about overcooked his meat, Raichlen offers some reassurance.
"There is a difference between black and dark brown," he said . "
Steven Raichlen baked a perfect piece of meat in the smoke of the sun for hours.
Now he took it back to the kitchen and destroyed it.
He cut the meat into quite fine hash with a meat cutter and turned it into a filling for pulling the meatpork slider.
Then you put it on a soft roll with some salad and eat it.
The small sandwich package, Raichlen says, is "a very complex set of flavors and textures ".
The back of the slider is roasted peach-
Spray directly on the flame of the grill on the cinnamon stick and grill with brown sugar, butter and bourbon mixture.
"You see how the end of the cinnamon stick burns," Raichlen said . ".
Release all the cinnamon oil.
It's all about taste.
"In fact, not everything is about the taste next to the grill.
It's also a performing art for Steve Raichlen.
"One of the remarkable things about barbecue --
"It's a public activity, it's a theatrical activity, it's a social activity," he said . ".
"People don't gather around the stove to watch a pot of soup sim, and they don't gather in the oven to watch the cake bake.
But when you grill, you see a group of people.
"Cut the pepper in half vertically and scrape the seeds out.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil without heatingstick skillet.
Add onions, garlic, pumpkin seeds and cumin and cook for 4 minutes on medium heat until golden brown.

Before cooking, throw the pieces of wood on the coal.
Put the peppers on the grill grate away from the fire.
Grill indirectly until the pepper is soft, the cheese is yellow and blistering for 30 to 40 minutes.
Transfer the pepper to a platter or plate using a spatula and serve immediately.
