Should women be allowed to cook on the barbecue?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Mrs Absolutebeginner took over barbecue duties last night and instead of burgers and chicken legs that we could burn around the outside she put on jacket potatoes, corn on the cob and chicken and peppers on skewers!! She then proceeded to garnish with a side salad once everything was eventually cooked. I had to sneak a couple of burgers on when she wasn’t looking.
Should we let the women loose on the barbecue? |

You'll be having bananas stuffed with chocolate buttons next. 
If it's not burnt it's not cooked. BBQ 101. |

It's food. So long as the level of taste doesn't suffer then who cares who cooks it?
I prefer to cook (anywhere) as it means I'm not having to crawl around on the floor entertaining small kids.
Sounds like you need to up your bbq game. Marinated lamb kebabs, or spiced chicken (tikka, cajun etc). We bbq'd some Thai mussels last summer. Just having "meat" is boring AF!

It is said that men are at their most attractive when they are at the bbq.... goodness knows where I read that
If I don’t have to do it I’m happy. It sounds like you had a great meal there though OP  |

Barbecue is a cooking method does not mean is meat only ! In my country we do different types fish , meat , vegetables and even fruit pineapples etc .
Depends of the guests ! Also we share duties ,usually the ladies season the meat , prepare the salads and males Cook it .I bet was a lovely day ! |

We went to a friends bbq at W/end and she did a great job cooking on the bbq. Everything cooked to perfection and quite a few of us there- all that was left were a couple of sausages and everyone enjoyed it! |

I cook up a mean bbq. When my friends bfd I go camping I have to have 3 bbq's on the go.... One meat and one veggie. The veggie and meat utensils can never cross bbw's as my friend is a veggie and doesn't want her food contaminated.
We have lots of meat, steak, sausages, burgers, fish sometimes, chops all cooked to perfection.
Then as we are eating out mains I pop on some pineapples wedges and peaches for pudding. |

"I dont see the point of BBQs,just cook it in the oven and take it outside,undercooked food and food poisoning "
No need for undercooked food on a bbq.... Just cook better!
The only time I've ever had food poisoning is from a restaurant in the autobahn in Germany.... Never from a bbq |

If you know what you’re doing you’d be fine - never had a dodgy stomach/had food poisoning or food that’s undercooked!
I love bbq’s as you can be chatting and having fun whilst foods cooking making sure guests are having a good time instead of being stuck indoors in a kitchen bored leaving the guests to entertain themselves- and besides bbq easier to clean/sort out then cooker! |

I built ma own BBQ when I lived at a previous address, bricks & mortar, half an oil drum and a dismembered shopping trolley and the job's a good 'un. Women were barred from the immediate vicinity whilst cooking was in progress. Ma mate, who I sold the house to, enforces the same rule as well  |

Asparagus, haloumi cheese, prawns or langoustines. Then the meat, marinated lamb kebabs, burgers for the kids then sausages. Part boiled corn on the cob. Then finish with pineapple skewers soaked in syrup and cinnamon.
The secret is the order in which you cook stuff. |
