BBQ Spit Roast is Ideal for Special Events

By Nora Seabolt


Late spring brings about the return of barbecuing in the neighborhood, sending the aroma of grilled food to those in the vicinity. Whether you have a deck or patio, celebrate good weather with outside events. Traditional picnic foods like coleslaw, potato salad and chicken make it easy to gather family and friends to the table for a meal. A spit roast Melbourne provides a very delectable meal when it is prepared over the grill and cooked slowly. It is too hot for roasting meat in the kitchen, so the BBQ is the perfect choice for cooking.

One of the first steps is to clean the spit and prongs. Rinse them thoroughly and wipe them dry. Leave any tied strings secure on the roast as it helps the meat stay intact during the cooking process. Use a toothpick to poke several holes in the roast and insert small bits of garlic and onion that will add flavor while cooking. You can also put the meat in the marinade the night before, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Salt and pepper the meat to taste after it has cooked

Plan the menu by asking ahead of time about food allergies, likes and dislikes. Hot dogs and hamburgers are great for kids and teens, but some adults want just a bit more. Grill your favorite veggies instead of cooking them on the stove. Any time is a good time for a barbecue and while the spit roast melbourne is cooking, you can prepare other foods you plan to serve. Small tables around the patio and the picnic table set give plenty of room for people to sit. At times, you will find the group hanging out by the barbecue, waiting for everything to finish cooking.

Prepare the fixings for gourmet hamburgers and place them on the table for guests to build the burger their way. As the meat cooks, cut the onions. Prepare things like cheese slices and bacon early in the day to give more time to visit with guests. Put the packet on the grill about 3 minutes before serving to warm slightly and then set them on the table for anyone who wants bacon with their hamburger. Cheddar, provolone and jack cheese are all delicious slices to put on the hamburger before eating. It will melt while sitting in the bun.

Lighten up the evening with decorative patio lights and beautiful solar lights set around the yard. Let's help guests to see steps and walkways. Guests will notice the items you have highlighted, such as the birdbath, gazebo, and pond. You will be surprised to discover the versatility of low voltage outdoor lighting. The solar and low voltage outdoor lights are friendly to the environment and inexpensive to operate while providing safety and colorful decor to the yard.

Organize the barbecue by using toss-away plastic flatware and paper plates, napkins, and cups. The guests will readily place their trash in a convenient trash bin lined with a plastic bag. Anchor any of the items you do not want the wind blowing away with decorated rocks or other weights. One method of getting help with cleanup is to invite guests to pack up food they want to take home. The event will be fun, as well as a success.
