1. No more dry burgers

Put an ice cube in the centre of your burger patty and your burgers will be cooked through without being dry.

2. No more sticky fish

If you like to add a bit of fish to your barbecue, grill it on top of sliced lemons or greaseproof paper to prevent it from sticking.

3. Light it up

Never have the embarrassment of not being able to light the BBQ again! Grab a cardboard egg carton, fill it with coals and light it up.

4. Spice it up

Add herbs to your burning coal to add a little extra flavour to your food.

5. Save space

Use a muffin tray and fill it with different sauces and toppings to have everything available to your guests and make more room on the table.

6. Save your meats

Keep your meat secure by using double skewers. You’ll never have to face the agony of them falling off the barbecue again!

11. No more washing up

Use disposable plates and trays to save on your washing up. You can even get some really fancy ones if you want to impress.

12. No more scrubbing

Attach half an onion to a fork and rub it into the grill while it’s still hot. This cuts right into the grease and grime and makes the cleanng job a whole lot easier!

13. Never run out of glasses

When the drinks are flowing there’s nothing worse than running out of glasses and serving drinks in mugs! Instead, keep hold of jam and food jars, wash them out and create your very own stylish glasses.

14. And finally, never share your food

Keep pests at bay by placing garlic cloves inside a cut lemon. The smell will repel flies and mosquitoes and leave you to enjoy your buns in peace!
