About Barbequing
Barbequing seems to have been adopted as the national cooking method — as American as apple pie. The charcoal cooker on the patio or in the backyard became so ubiquitous in the 1950s and 1960s it almost seemed like a post-war invention of the American culture.
But barbequing is an ancient form of cooking, invented shortly after man discovered fire. Early humans discovered that meat broiled over open flames was more appetizing and healthier than raw meat. They also found that cooked meat lasted longer than its raw counterpart.
While the beginnings of grilling food were simple, the traditions that developed and were passed down through the generations have varied greatly. Cooks refined their grilling techniques, developing better ways of using the open flame. They realized that other flavors could be imparted on foods by using marinades and sauces. As humans expanded their culinary lexicon, herbs and spices were used both as part of marinades and also in dry rubs.
Early humans grilled meat and ate vegetables raw. But, being ever inquisitive and inventive, they soon discovered that like meat, vegetables developed special flavors when grilled. And like meat, vegetables could be marinaded in a variety of sauces to impart special flavors.
Different cultures developed not only new ways of preparing food but also of preparing the fire, from little charcoal braziers to big wood-fired pits.
The Asians, who have been barbequing for centuries, have a variety of methods, including cooking directly over an open fire, spit turning meat, and barbequing in an oven. Since many ingredients are already cut to bite-sized pieces, much Asian barbequing is done with skewers.
Indian Tandoori cooking calls for food to be placed in a large clay oven that has been heated through by charcoal. The foods are generally marinated before being lowered into the oven. In a well-made tandoori oven, the food will come out crisp on the outside, but moist and tender on the inside. Indian cooks also prepare a special bread, nan, in their tandoori ovens, by pressing the flattened dough on the sides of the cooking chamber.
In America, barbequing is done over a charcoal or
