SynopsisNew York Times Bestseller NAMED A BEST COOKBOOK BY Serious Eats - Christopher Kimball - Chicago Tribune - BBC - Wired - Epicurious - Leite's Culinaria - Food & Wine For succulent results every time, nothing is more crucial than understanding the science behind the interaction of food, fire, heat, and smoke. This is the definitive guide to the concepts, methods, equipment, and accessories of barbecue and grilling. The founder and editor of the world's most popular BBQ and grilling website, AmazingRibs.com, and a BBQ Hall of Fame member, "Meathead" Goldwyn applies the latest research to backyard cooking and 118 thoroughly tested recipes. He explains why dry brining is better than wet brining; how marinades really work; why rubs shouldn't have salt in them; how heat and temperature differ; the importance of digital thermometers; why searing doesn't seal in juices; how salt penetrates but spices don't; when charcoal beats gas and when gas beats charcoal; how to calibrate and tune a grill or smoker; how to keep fish from sticking; cooking with logs; the strengths and weaknesses of the new pellet cookers; tricks for rotisserie cooking; why cooking whole animals is a bad idea, which grill grates are best;and why beer-can chicken is a waste of good beer and nowhere close to the best way to cook a bird. He shatters the myths that stand in the way of perfection. Busted misconceptions include: - Myth: Bring meat to room temperature before cooking. Busted! Cold meat attracts smoke better. - Myth: Soak wood before using it. Busted! Soaking produces smoke that doesn't taste as good as dry fast-burning wood. - Myth: Bone-in steaks taste better. Busted! The calcium walls of bone have no taste and they just slow cooking. - Myth: You should sear first, then cook. Busted! Actually, that overcooks the meat. Cooking at a low temperature first and searing at the end produces evenly cooked meat. Lavishly designed with hundreds of illustrations and full-color photos by the author, this book contains all the sure-fire recipes for traditional American favorites and many more outside-the-box creations. You'll get recipes for all the great regional barbecue sauces; rubs for meats and vegetables; Last Meal Ribs, Simon & Garfunkel Chicken; Schmancy Smoked Salmon; The Ultimate Turkey; Texas Brisket; Perfect Pulled Pork; Sweet & Sour Pork with Mumbo Sauce; Whole Hog; Steakhouse Steaks; Diner Burgers; Prime Rib; Brazilian Short Ribs; Rack Of Lamb Lollipops; Huli-Huli Chicken; Smoked Trout Florida Mullet -Style; Baja Fish Tacos; Lobster, and many more., New York Times Bestseller NAMED A BEST COOKBOOK BY Serious Eats * Christopher Kimball * Chicago Tribune * BBC * Wired * Epicurious * Leite's Culinaria * Food & Wine For succulent results every time, nothing is more crucial than understanding the science behind the interaction of food, fire, heat, and smoke.

THE BBQ and grilling guide.
This is a great book on how to barbecue and grill, I used to think they were synonymous but that was before I knew better. I have been using a Weber charcoal kettle and a gas grill for years and since I got this book Meathead's techniques have taken my grilling to a whole new level. If you want to impress your friends (and yourself) get this book and you will be rewarded with some great eats. In the past I have always relied on several other "reference" grilling books but they will now be on the sidelines.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Essential reading for even a semi-regular weekend BBQer/Griller/Smoker
Any cookbook can easily devolve into simply a recipe list. What Meathead provides us here is a basic education on the science of what various techniques does to our food. Think of it as kind of like an extended Cook's Illustrated series on bbq. Especially enjoyed the various 'Myth Busted!' sections throughout the book, very thought provoking!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Solid cookbook
I don't know about the "compelling" rating, but as others have said, if you could only have one cookbook about cooking meats, this would be my first choice. I gave several copies as gifts. I don't agree with everything and some of the scientific experiments differ from my direct experience, but overall, this is most of what you need to know about cooking different foods on a charcoal grill, gas grill, ceramic cooker, smoker or standard oven.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
