Cooking Ribs - Try The South African Way!

It is interesting to study the practice of cooking ribs in the context of different nations and their customs.

In South Africa, the term “cooking ribs” is almost never used. The South African use a term called “braai”, which is the American equivalent of “barbeque”. In South Africa, the most traditional way of cooking ribs is to braai ( or barbeque ) them. South Africans are especially fond of what is called “Spare Ribs”, being a smoked pork rib which is grilled, barbequed, or braai’d over an open flame. Of course, basting sauces and all the rest go without saying.

Spare ribs are to be found in most steak houses in South Africa, one of the most well known being Spur Steak Ranches all around the country. In fact, Spur made name for themselves with their famous Spare Ribs and secret spur basting sauce.

Tricks To Maintaining A Healthy Grill

Grilling or BBQing seems to be a warm weather passion for many people all over the world. This usually means that sometime in autumn, the grill or BBQ is placed into hibernation. It is interesting that this phenomena happens, even in the tropical parts of the world with many people, even though the outdoor temperatures do not get very low. We pull out the grill or BBQ in spring sometime and the great afternoons and evenings of outdoor cooking commence again. There is almost nothing worse than cooking up a treat of fish and then finding that the last beef marinade taste is through the fish. The type of grill will determine the amount of maintenance that is required.
