"...how to grill everything from lobsters to pizzas and apples to zucchini..." -- Detroit Free Press
"The most practical guide of all." -- Williams-Sonoma, TASTE

Book Description
Can you make really good pulled pork at home? Which cut of meat makes the best beef kebabs? How do you keep lean pork tenderloin from tasting like sawdust? What is the secret to great-tasting burgers? Is it possible to make barbecued chicken that isn't dry?
In an exhaustive effort to answer these questions, the staff of Cook's Illustrated magazine lit more than 5,000 charcoal fires to test different grilling and barbecue techniques for The Best Recipe: Grilling and Barbecue.
The Best Recipe: Grilling and Barbecue also contains 300 illustrations that show you how to cut up a chicken, slice a T-bone steak, and remove the pinbones from a salmon fillet. No-nonsense equipment ratings and taste tests of supermarket foods are also included. Find out which commercial barbecue sauce received our highest rating, whether or not a fish basket really works, and what's the best tool for lighting a charcoal fire. You'll also learn which cuts of meat work best in different recipes, how to quickly brine foods to keep them moist over intense grill heat, and how to make the most of a gas grill. (All recipes include both charcoal and gas grill variations.)
More than 400 recipes cover just about everything that has ever been grilled, from steaks and chops to ribs and pulled pork. You'll find recipes for seafood—salmon, tuna, shrimp, and more—as well as instructions and recipes for grilling almost every vegetable imaginable, from asparagus to zucchini.
With The Best Recipe: Grilling and Barbecue at your side, we guarantee that you will never ruin another expensive piece of meat or fish because of some easily avoided mistake. Light the grill with confidence. With this cookbook as your guide, grilling and barbecuing will be easy and foolproof.

The first book I reach for when I grill.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grilling And Barbecue (Hardcover)
Another great book from Cook's, covering all the basic aspects of grilling. The recipe for slow cooked ribs is excellent. The brining technique for grilling chicken is one of the most important discoveries I've ever made. I refuse to eat any chicken that hasn't been brined!! Recipes are very informative and easy to follow. Unfortunately this book comes with the old-style, AWFUL Cook's Illustrated index, which is impossible to use. I've addded my own annotations in order to make it useful. All in all, this is a great book!!

I have never written a review on Amazon though I am a long time user. After getting this book I was compelled to write. From expert looking for more ideas to beginner just getting your feet wet with barbecue this book is for you. From reading through the recipes of this book I get the sense that the writers cooked each recipe in dozens of ways until they found just the right combination for a perfect cook. That saves me time and money on possible mis-cooking. They take the reader through a step-by-step approach that makes no room for error. I can confidently make something for the first time for dinner guests and know by following their directions the meat will barbecue perfectly.This past Thanksgiving I grill roasted my first turkey to perfection. For the super bowl I cooked shrimp that my guests could not get enough of. Recently I cooked a pork loin that was seared beautifully on the outside and cooked just right on the inside. I look forward to future succeses with this book and heartily recommend to those who love barbecue done right.

A cookbook for cooking geeks!,

This review is from: Grilling And Barbecue (Hardcover)
I know of no other cookbook that goes through such rigorous experimentation in order to come up with the best possible recipes. The editors don't just cover ingredients, but they also cover tools and techniques in wonderful detail. For the really inquisitive, they also offer scientific explanations behind various cooking techniques like brining. The chapter on beef burgers alone is worth the price of the book, offering insightful hints on how to choose the meat, how to shape the patties, and how to cook them. Then, to ensure that no other book on grilling even comes close, they offer separate cooking instructions for charcoal vs. gas grills FOR EVERY RECIPE.Truly amazing.
