    how does one marinate DRY? i know of dry rubs and such...but marinades are wet? so i don't quite follow your dry/wet cooking methods. :p i do enjoy a good dry rub BBQ....but i also love the flavor created with various marinades too.


    charcoal most definitely adds more flavor, but gas grills are just SO quick and simple for weeknight grilling.


    skeweres ROCK. :cool:

    Pretty much dry rubs is what I meant
    you can marinate without moisture=basically spices and herbs NO CITRUS or VINEGAR or SALT-exception being the really tough cuts and plain ole chicken breasts (which I have almost completely stopped eating)

    I find that liquid marinades can ruin the texture of good meat and fish. And unless you are using sugar/ honey, it makes it a bit harder to get good carmelization, which is what the grill is all about (well that and smoke).

    And I know about the gas being convenient. I am looking for a good one with a rotisserie thats not $1000.

    I think that equal parts of teriyaki and olive oil make a great marinade for steaks.

    to each their own I guess but if it is a PRIMO cut of black angus, why would you want to mask the natural flavor?

    ok, yea...dry rubs. that's what i thought. b/c 'to marinate' does indeed refer to mositure. :p

    i'd love a smoker...those things are great too. just can't justify getting one though, eh well. as we cook mostly for just the 2 of us, your barebones gas grill works for us.


    i REALLY love hubby's BBQ wings tho...definitely want em this weekend. sooooooo good!

    Definition: Marinate means to coat or immerse foods in an acidic-based liquid or dry rub, to tenderize and flavor before cooking. Food is marinated in a marinade.
    http://busycooks.about.com/library/glossary/bldefmarinate.htm

    But I will agree that its mostly used in reference to liquid.
    and it is all good, all of it.

    :D

    mask? enhance? it's just a fine line ;)

    personally, I like that extra bit of flavor from the teriyaki sauce :)

    sauces are good, but you just baste with them for the last couple of flips

    and I personally, would never put a bottled sauce on a prime piece of meat

    maybe just a quick baste at the end of the cooking but thats it.

    yes, just baste with it and not too much, I used the term marinade inappropriately before....I wouldn't let a piece of meat sit in that sauce because if you let it sit too long it will separate out

    with my mixture, you don't want all that much of it on the piece of meat...if you put too much on, the olive oil makes it a bit greasy and thick

    when done well, it's quite tasty, especially with homemade teriyaki (which is 100% better than store bought brands)

    Say it ain't so! No offense, but I don't see how anybody can do the Vegetarian/Vegan thing. Good luck with it though.

    Now you are talking my language. Do you use soy sauce in the teriyaki?
    If so, try finding a soy from a smaller producer. HUGE Diff.

    Now that I CANNOT barbecue, I can't believe I have gone 7 years without barbecuing while I could do it.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    yeah, soy sauce is used

    I don't remember the proportions, but it's soy sauce, white sugar, and mirin (sake or dry white wine can be used in place, if you can't find mirin).

    Next time I make it, I'll have to try to find some from a smaller producer. What's the difference though?

    Me too.

    Then again it's not too tough here. When I lived in Illinois I'd grill all year long too. Sometimes I'd have to dig the grill out of a couple feet of snow, but it was totally worth it! :)

    Sadly, I think you just opened up a can of worms that will make this thread go south.

    Oh well.
