Although Weber barbeques are often seen as being the top of the tree when it comes to cooking outdoors,Weber Barbeque Techniques Articles a great BBQ doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to cook well on it. It's important that you take some steps to ensure that you produce tasty and safe food.

Firstly, let's look at some of the hygiene elements. One thing to note is that cooking on the BBQ is often done by people who wouldn't normally be cooking.

There's something about the thrill of being outdoors that seems to encourage all of us to have a bit of a go at preparing food.

If you're an amateur enthusiast then you need to be aware of the dangers involved in storing, preparing and cooking food incorrectly.

A golden rule that you should follow is that raw and cooked meats should be kept well apart. If you're handling meats then don't forget to wash your hands. Good hygiene is vital.

It's also vital that you cook food properly. This means that meats, for example, need to be cooked right the way through.

A blackened outside certainly doesn't mean that the food is safe to eat - the inside could still be raw.

Some people would use a thermometer to check the interior temperature of the meat. If you don't have one available then be sure that your BBQ has a high enough temperature and that the heat distribution is as even as possible.

Keep a regular eye on the food that you are cooking and try to avoid too much alcohol during the cooking process, both for your safety and that of your guests.
