Barbecue basics

Summer and barbecues go together like Wimbledon and strawberries - and you always have to be prepared for rain! But if the weather allows, an al fresco gathering can be perfect. Follow these basic safety tips to ensure your guests are well fed and happy

Basic preparation: Ensure that all food is refrigerated or frozen to the correct temperature before beginning preparation unless otherwise specified.

Keep raw food separate and preferably on separate chopping boards to avoid cross contamination. Do not mix meat, seafood and dairy, poultry and vegetables or any combination of these when preparing, keep apart until ready to grill.

For safety's sake, wipe surfaces with an antiseptic cleaner between different courses.

Do not under any circumstances mix raw and cooked meat and do not return cooked meat to the fridge until it has properly cooled.

Keep all knives and sharp implements out of reach of children and pets.

Remember that the BBQ is hot so site well aware from trees, fences, hedges garden umbrellas and awnings or anything else likely to combust.
