Book Reviews of The Cook's Illustrated Guide To Grilling And Barbecue

Book Review: Don't Grill Without It!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a beginner griller but this book would be helpful for even veteran BBQers! The best part of the book (so far at least) is the simple instructions on the best way to grill all the basics. The authors talk about how they tried various methods and tweaked them and finally came up with the best one. For each recipe, they give instructions for charcoal and gas grilling (which is nice because many books really lean heavily toward charcoal). I made grilled chicken breasts last night and they were juicy and delicious! There are lots of recipes to try, but I feel like a lot of books have recipes. What makes this book really stand out is the simple tips that are scattered throughout. Once I learn how to cook things properly, adding flavorings, marinades, and sauces should be a breeze. This book has already paid for itself several times over and has already saved me lots of the trial and error most beginning grillers have to go through.

Summary of The Cook's Illustrated Guide To Grilling And Barbecue

The Cook's Illustrated Guide to Grilling and Barbecue is a comprehensive nuts and bolts volume that thoroughly examines outdoor cooking-starting with the basics. The 12-page introduction to grilling, "Outdoor Cooking 101," walks you step-by-step through the essentials of grilling, grill-roasting, and barbecuing using both charcoal and gas grills.

And since outdoor cooking requires just the right tools and equipment, the editors of Cook's Illustrated share the results of their product tests in an extensive buyers guide, "Equipment and Tools for Outdoor Cooking," where charcoal grills, gas grills, grill brushes, tongs, instant-read thermometers, and more are rated. At a glance, you will know which brands we recommend (and why) and which to avoid.

Armed with the right equipment and instructions, you'll be ready to tackle just about any recipe from a simple and perfectly cooked burger to succulent pulled pork and restaurant-perfect grilled tuna. You'll find more than 450 recipes for all your favorites-steak tips, ribs, and barbecued chicken as well as some that will expand your repertoire-from Thai-Grilled Chicken and Skirt Steak Tacos to Grilled Corn with Spicy Chili Butter and Bruschetta with Fresh Herbs.

The Cook's Illustrated Guide to Grilling and Barbecue also contains more than 300 step-by-step illustrations that walk you through the basics of food preparation, such as how to cut beef for kebabs, trim beef tenderloin, and grill-roast a turkey.

Whether you're a novice outdoor cook or aspiring grillmaster, this encyclopedic examination of one of America's favorite pastimes will be your guide to foolproof grilling and barbecuing.
