Saw this on the fridge; Mother took it from some old issue of the Straits Times. Perhaps this will make your barbecues an improved culinary experience?

FOR THE BEST BARBEQUE:

Marinate the meat with herbs and spices overnight.

Be adventurous with the selection of herbs and spices such as lemongrass, fresh coriander root, ginger juice.

Add sugar only when ready to barbecue. Use honey for added flavour.

Wash emptied sardine cans and use them as covers when barbecuing steaks. This way, you can trap the steam in and the result is a tender and juicy steak that gives off a "barbecued" flavour.

Use aluminium foil to wrap a whole fish. Sear it on the barbecue. The fish skin will have a good texture while its meat maintains a pleasant softness.
