Barbeque Accessories – The Injector as the Ultimate Tool
Barbeque accessories are more than niceties to have on hand and use creatively for the barbeque. Barbeque accessories add to your pleasure and ultimately to the final taste test of your barbequed food. Add a few accessories and the success of your barbequed food will grow in expediential proportions!
What barbeque accessories are needed? First of all, you must have the right barbeque grill. Buy or make what your budget and talent allows. It doesn’t matter whether you cook over wood, charcoal, gas, electric, or pellets. You need to have, maintain, and control the heat. You also need a rack or a spear (rotisserie) on which your food will cook off the heat source, a few tools to turn your food so the other side will benefit from the hotter temperature, perhaps an apron to protect yourself from the inevitable splash, pot holders or silicone gloves should also be kept handy for that hot turner left on the grill, sauces and perhaps a rub or two. Those who love the smoky taste of food would add a cedar, alder, maple or other plank to the must-haves in barbeque accessories. If you cook outdoors in colder climates, you might want to consider a well insulated grill to hold the heat inside. Try an insulated fireproof blanket like that found in a welding shop to cover your grill. Just remember that the grill needs oxygen. Don’t cover over the vent holes! And you need to stay warm too. Dress appropriately for the weather and your situation. Your clothing can be a barbeque accessory!
The Ultimate Tool is the food injector. Here is a dandy tool to get the robust flavor deep into the meat, not just on the surface. When one thinks of deep fried turkey, the initial thought includes the wonderful, deep flavor imparted when the sauce or flavoring is injected deep into the meat. The meat is moist, flavorful, and tender. The meat falls off the bone. The heavenly flavor is tasted in every bite. Unlike a rub which is messaged and pressed onto the surface, the injected marinade goes deep into the meat where the flavor dissipates throughout.
The Deluxe Flavor-Express Food injector allows for minced spices like garlic, fresh ground pepper, pulp from a freshly squeezed lemon or lime, minced scallions, etc. to pass through the injector into the meat. Like fine wine, the flavors can be subtle or bold. They depend on how much you inject into the meat and the combinations you select. The ultimate tool will either enhance or change the flavor of the meat. You control its outcomes. This is the ultimate advantage of using the Flavor Express food injector. With its thicker needle, stay-sharp point, and large capacity, it is the ultimate tool, and one the ultimate barbeque accessories.
Store bought food that has been injected before you buy it should NOT be used. It’s easy enough to make, buy, or “doctor up” a wonderful marinade or salad dressing without the unwanted fats, preservatives, colorings, chemicals, etc. found in the pre-injected meat. The fresh flavor of your concoction will ultimately be superior to the chemically-altered taste of the undesirable meat. Afterall, you cook because you love to cook for the family, friends, and guests. Why not serve them the best food you can afford and make it both delicious and good looking!
A word of caution: food safety is important. Follow the guidelines and you and your guests won’t get sick. The main idea: Be clean. Your hands must be clean. Wash them thoroughly in warm water and soap. Clean your grill after use and start cooking on a clean grill. Wash your tools in hot, sudsy water. And most importantly, avoid any cross contaminaton. For example, don’t inject raw food and then inject the cooked food with the same injector and marinade. Discard the marinade left in the injector, wash the bellows or use a fresh, clean one if you want to inject the food again, especially after the food is cooked.
Another work of caution: Forget the mop or brush for your food. Use a mop on your floor, on your truck or car, but not on your food. The Ultimate food injector, The Flavor-Express ® marinator/flavorizer, is capable of dousing your meat with more marinade if you need or want it. Because it can be used in this additional way, it doesn’t even need to touch the food so it won't transfer unwanted germs which might contaminate your meal. Simply shoot the marinade on the meat where you want it and enjoy the flavor.
The ultimate barbeque accessory is the Flavor-Express food injector.
