cooking on the grill - going beyond the burger

How much do you enjoy cooking on your grill? Are you tired of cooking the same steaks, burgers, hot dogs and chicken and want something new to try? I had no idea the number of options that you have for using a grill until I started visiting my neighbor for dinner parties. That man takes just about anything and cooks it on the grill and creates the most delicious meals I have ever consumed. I have taken much of what he has taught me and some of what I have learned from the internet and compiled enough information here to get you started cooking new foods on your grill.

If you are looking for a way to host a great outdoor event this summer, hosting a BBQ party is a great way to do it. There are few people out there who don't love BBQ, and smoked meat and all of the fixings are perfect for having summer fun. One thing that you might be worried about is keeping the mess under control, but you shouldn't be concerned about this. Follow these tips, and you can help cut down on the cleanup so you can actually enjoy your event.

1. Let A Pro Handle The Messy Cooking

Cooking with grease and BBQ sauce can make a big mess. Plus, if you're looking to make a bunch of tasty sides, you'll probably have to make a mess in your kitchen as well. Luckily, there's one great option that will allow you to eliminate this mess completely -- hiring a BBQ catering company. Then, the caterer will prepare all of the food and even deliver it to your venue, and you won't have to worry about messing with dirty dishes or a messy grill. For more information, contact a caterer like Grumpy's Bar B Que Roadhouse.

2. Use Disposable Dishware

Even though you might usually prefer to use real plates, glasses and flatware, your outdoor BBQ party is the perfect excuse to opt for disposable stuff. Then, you won't be stuck with a ton of dishes at the end of an otherwise fun day. Plus, you won't have to worry about losing or breaking your nice dishes outdoors.

3. Cover Your Tables With Something Disposable

Consider covering your tables with something disposable; you can opt for brightly-colored disposable tablecloths, or you can make it simple by taping down old newspapers. Either way, it's sure to make cleaning up the mess a breeze -- you can simply lift up the tablecloths, with dishes and sauce all over them, and toss them straight in the garbage.

4. Keep A Water Hose Handy

Keep a water hose near the festivities. Then, everyone can wash off their hands or spray down any messes that they might make right away. Plus, it's always a good idea to have a water hose handy when there's a hot grill around.

5. Place Outdoor Trash Cans Everywhere

Place more trash cans around the party than you think you need. If they're close at hand, people will be more likely to toss their garbage in them rather than leaving plates, napkins and other trash lying around. Place them near the grill, the buffet line, the serving tables and in other random spots for best results.

A BBQ party can be a lot of fun, but you shouldn't be stuck dealing with a huge mess. Follow these tips, and you're sure to cut down on the mess while having a great time.
