Grilling and your health
You may have heard about the possible health risks associated with foods
cooked over high heat. Barbecuing has been implicated. Nutritionists and
food research scientists say that high-heat cooking methods, such as
barbecuing, can produce minute amounts of harmful substances when fat from
the meat drips onto hot coals, resulting in flare-ups (flames that come in
contact with the food). However, they admit that the possible health risks
are very low.If you are
concerned about grilling foods for health reasons, the Barbecue Industry
Association recommends using indirect heat for grilling. The fat then drips
into the drip pan, and not onto the hot coals, preventing flare-ups.
Lots of information is available for
those of us who love cooking outdoors over an open flame. Read other
articles on our site that will help to make your next cookout safe as well
as enjoyable.
