Tips to Become a Braai Master
- Braai Tools: Before you can show off your culinary braai skills, you need the right equipment. A good set of tongs is essential, as it’s an extension of the arm. A stainless-steel, height-adjustable grid helps control the heat.
- Wood Fires: While many South Africans love the convenience of charcoal, wood is a popular alternative. Wood fires allow meat to retain heat better than any of the alternatives and a wood fire is also more environmentally friendly.
- Planning Your Braai: Planning is essential in becoming the ultimate braai master. Good meat is one of the most important ingredients for a good braai, so the secret is to find yourself a butcher you can trust and go for quality over quantity.
- Knowing When the Fire is Ready: This comes with experience. The coals should be white-hot, and you should be able to hold your hand over the coals for about 5 seconds.
- Presentation is Key: How you present your food can make a big difference. Take some time to think about how you want to serve your food.
- Don’t Forget the Side Dishes: A braai is not just about the meat. Don’t forget to include some delicious side dishes to complement your main course.
