» THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., August 7 ,1969—7-C Cook-Outs Involve Planning, Preparing BY HELEN C. CAMP Extension Home Economist More and more Americans are eating more and more meals in the great outdoors. One indica tion of the American way of eat ing is the cook-out - the bar becue - the back yard grill, the picnic at beaches and parks. The American homemaker usually strives for convenience; but, outdoor eating may entail more work than indoor cooking. Pre-planning and preparing ligh tens the job for everyone. Here are some suggestions t( make outdoor cookery easier, safer, and more satisfying. 1. First comes the fire:, a. Charcoal briquet provide a stea dy, dependable fire. Some come packed with their own starter. They are easy to come by and light to carry, b. Wood - be sure it is dry - start fire with news papers and dry twigs under the logs. c. Be sure the fire is really ready before you start cooking. The wonderful charcoal flavor most of us like so much comes not from leaping, searing flames, but from a small, rosy bed of coals that look almost finished. If you start cooking before the fire is to this stage the food will be burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. 2. Grilling: A. Steaks and Chops - 1. Trim off as much fat as possible, so the drippings won’t cause too great a flare-up of the fire. 2. Keep a bottle of water handy to discourage over- eager flames caused by drip pings. 3. Spear the cut-off fat on a fork to grease the rack. 4. Allow 3/4 to one pound of beef steak, or two good-sized chops per person. 5. Keep meat out of refrigerator for an hour before putting on the fire - ex cept in the case of hamburger, which should go on directly. B. Chicken - 1. Whole split broil er, well oiled or marinated, can go directly on the grill. 2. Cook chicken parts on trays of aluminum foil, or in a broiler basket, to keep it from falling through the cracks. C. Fish 1. Fresh fish is too ten der to go directly on the grill and it will stick. Pan frying, or aluminum foil on the grill will be a better job. 2. Fish steaks and small shellfish grill well in a broiler basket, in very little time. 3. Spit barbecuing 1. Make sure not to choose an item too large for the size of the rotisserie. 2. Birds to be spitted should be very firmly trussed wings and legs tied tightly against the body, and tied to the spit in several places. 3. The meat must be speared directly through the mid dle, so weight will be evenly bal anced, and no slipping and sag ging occur. 4. Stick Cookery 1.Small, man ageable morsels of good things are threaded on slim green sticks or metal skewers, broiled, while being constantly to brown. 2. Be cause they’re cooked over high heat, the stick meals are best when some moisture is added, a. Frankfurters can be wrapped in bacon, or chunks alternated with bacon or tomatoes, b. Beef and lamb cubes usually are marinat ed before cooking - in just oil, salt and pepper, or with wine or vinegar, garlic, and spices. If you plan a picnic, make a picnic check list and tape it to the lid of your picnic basket or some other handy place where you can check it before you leave for your picnic.
