Don’t let those co-op dollars “burn up”, throw some burgers on the “Barbie” (but try not to burn those either)! This is the start of the summer season with Memorial Day just a few days away. You need to have your gas, charcoal, flat-top and hibachi grills ready to go! If you work with any Hardware Stores, or Outdoor Living Stores, this is a great time to help them advertise their grill inventory.
BBQ “Facts”
- An estimated 80% of U.S. homeowners own a grill or smoker, which is a significant increase from 64% back in 2019.
- Gas grills, particularly those powered by propane are the most popular type of grill followed by charcoal grills.
- Pellet Grills, Electric Grills and Kamado Grills come in 3rd, 4th and 5th place respectively.
- The most popular foods for the BBQ: Pork (pulled pork, pork chops), Beef (Burgers, steaks, and brisket), Chicken (grilled chicken, wings and skewers are all versatile). Sausages, hot dogs, shrimp and salmon are also great choices.
- In recent years the hibachi BBQ has become very popular, as a lot of these recipes are considered very healthy (a good dose of vegetables!). Of course, if you are cooking those veggies (or some seafood or chicken), you need to have some Yum Yum sauce for dipping!
Here is a delicious recipe for Yum Yum sauce that takes only 5 minutes to make (and yes, I tried it – it’s delicious)
- 1 ¼ cup of mayonnaise
- ¼ cup of water
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon white sugar (or more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
Gather and mix all the ingredients in one bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight and then enjoy!
