Questions about Open pit original barbecue sauce
When should you brush barbecue sauce onto meat on the grill?
Brush it on during the last 5–10 minutes of cooking. Its sugars can scorch over high heat, so turn the meat often and add another thin coat just before serving.
Can you use barbecue sauce as a marinade?
Yes: coat the meat and marinate it in the fridge, then discard the used marinade or boil it thoroughly before serving. For a sticky finish, save some uncontaminated sauce and brush it on near the end of cooking.
What can you use barbecue sauce for besides grilling?
Stir it into pulled pork or shredded chicken, spread a little in a burger, or serve it as a dip for chips and roasted potatoes. A spoonful can also add a smoky-sweet note to baked beans.
What can you use instead of barbecue sauce?
For a quick substitute, mix tomato ketchup with a little vinegar, brown sugar and smoked paprika. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce if you want a savoury, tangy edge.
How should you store barbecue sauce after opening?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in the fridge and use a clean spoon when serving. Follow the storage and use-by guidance on the bottle.
Why does barbecue sauce burn so easily?
It contains sugar, which darkens and then burns quickly over direct heat. Keep the grill at a moderate heat and apply the sauce near the end rather than cooking the meat in a thick coating from the start.
Is barbecue sauce high in salt?
It is very salty: a tablespoon contains 258 mg of sodium. Use a thin coating, especially if the meat or other parts of the meal are already seasoned.
