If the surface returns to its original position as quickly as possible, then the meat is fresh. Of course, you will be able to determine freshness by smell.
2) Frozen meat and fish are absolutely not suitable for barbecue. Otherwise, the dish will turn out to be unscented and too dry. Your best bet is to buy fresh pieces.
3) To make the meat juicy after cooking, it is recommended to cut it into large pieces. True, they will take a little longer to cook.
4) Any meat should not be cooked over an open fire, but over carefully heated coals.
5) It is best to string pieces of meat and lard on skewers alternately. This secret does not apply to fish. Before stringing, it is necessary to thoroughly warm the skewers over a fire.
6) The best firewood for barbecue - cherry and apple.
7) Ready pieces of meat or fish are placed in a saucepan (you can add chopped greens to it), covered with a lid and left to brew for 7-10 minutes.
