Char-Grill Cooking Benefits

There are a lot of benefits of grilling over charcoal briquettes compared to gas grilling. Many of us connect cooking on charcoal as something we usually do in the great outdoors. Some of the benefits are not even related to the great outdoors, but more on our health. Read on to find out the health benefits of cooking on char grills.

1. When you grill meat over charcoal, you lose more of the fat that usually stays on a pan when you cook over a stove. The fat drips onto the briquettes. A better solution to not getting the burnt fat residue from the charcoal is to grill lean meat, fish, or seafood instead. Add vegetables to the grill so you can balance out the predominantly meat feast. Grilled vegetables, not only retain most of the vitamins and minerals, but also keep their flavor better.

If you really want to grill fatty meats, make sure to prevent “flame ups” that can cause potential cancer-causing elements from the dripping fat to go back to the meat. Be on the lookout for possible pieces of charcoal that are potential fire starters. Try to avoid smoking your charcoal too much, since smoke can carry the harmful carcinogenic elements to the meat.

2. Aside from the veggies retaining the nutrients and flavor, meats also lock in their flavor when they are grilled. More flavorful meats, do not require salty or sweet condiments and sauces, which have the potential of elevating diabetes or hypertension. If you want to highlight the meaty flavor, use the following to enhance it, and reduce the formation of the cancer-causing residue.

• thyme
• rosemary
• sage
• garlic

3. Grilling from scratch and preparing the meats to grill by yourself helps you control your portions and the amount of sodium that you take in. Most individuals who like to barbecue, also like to prepare their meat from scratch. If you are health-conscious and know that you should not put in too much sodium, you can control it. There are a lot of spices that you can use to make the meal more flavorful without using too much salt.

4. Preparing your own marinade using the right ingredients can also help to tenderize the meat, to reduce cooking time and exposure to potential cancer-causing elements. Research for alternatives to sodium and sugar when making your own marinade or rub. Look up some useful herbs and spices that can add a twist to your meat or make it taste more interesting.

5. One of the benefits of cooking on char grills is the reduced effort that you use to lug your materials around. Gas grills can be such a hassle to bring when you are out camping. In some cases, you can actually use dry wood scavenged from the nearby forest to grill your food over the campfire. Some wood lends an appetizing aroma and taste to the grilled food.

These are just a few of the benefits of using charcoal to grill your food. There is just something about grilled food that a lot of us really enjoy eating. Grilling can be a fun way of interacting with friends and family. You also become more active when you grill your own food, starting from the preparation to the actual grilling.
