Barbecue cooking is a great occasion to meet relatives and friends. But unfortunately, there are situations when after a picnic you have to call an ambulance. And this is all due to improper behavior in nature. To avoid this, you need to know the rules for preparing a safe barbecue.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the place. When equipping a fireplace, do not neglect fire safety rules. The site should be level, lay it out of paving slabs, stones or sand. Make sure there is always water nearby. Place the structure away from nearby buildings. Place food and dishes near the hearth. Watch the wind. Also, take care of a canopy in case of rain.
Step 2
Choose the right coals. In the process of cooking barbecue on secondary coals, carcinogenic substances - benzopyrenes - are released. The use of ready-made coals is, of course, very convenient, but few people realize that it is dangerous. To minimize the risk of oncological diseases, cook barbecue only on the wood of any tree species, except for spruce, as it also emits a large amount of benzopyrenes.
Step 3
Watch your temperature. When preparing a kebab by strong and prolonged heating, "protein pyrolysis products" - carcinogenic substances are released. To reduce the harmfulness of protein pyrolysis, cook the kebab at the lowest possible temperature.
Step 4
Don't forget about the side dish. Many, serving vegetables and herbs to the barbecue, do not realize that they neutralize harmful substances that are formed in dishes cooked on charcoal. Neutralizers are vitamins A, E and C. Therefore, be sure to serve red sweet bell pepper, dill, parsley, etc. to the barbecue. In addition, dishes flavored with vegetable or linseed oil, such as potatoes or vegetable salad, have similar qualities. Just do not use olive oil, as it does not contain vitamin E.
Step 5
Watch yourself. Eating too much kebab can lead to protein poisoning, which is one of the most powerful and deadly. Therefore, in no case overeat barbecue. First of all, the pancreas will suffer from an excess of protein, and this can be fatal.
Step 6
Protect your eyes and body from burns. When preparing barbecue, use special glasses or sunglasses that can protect your eyes from hot sparks.
