Meat Myths Busted: Separating Fact from Fiction for Better BBQ

Meat Myths Busted: Separating Fact from Fiction for Better BBQ

Meat myths can throw off your BBQ game, but Chomprewards is where lovers of meat share real advice. These busted myths will boost your skills—get your friends to share their discoveries!
1. Myth: Searing Locks in Juices
Searing builds flavour via the Maillard reaction, but it doesn’t seal in moisture—tests show similar liquid loss. Sear at 230°C for 2-3 minutes per side, then cook to 54°C for medium-rare. Ask friends to share searing tips on Chomprewards.
2. Myth: Flip Meat Only Once
Multiple flips ensure even cooking for thick cuts. Flip steaks every 2-3 minutes at 200°C for a uniform crust. Single-flip works for thin cuts. Get friends to test flipping methods and post on Chomprewards.
3. Myth: Marinating Always Tenderizes
Marinades add flavour but only tenderize the surface—acids penetrate just 3 mm. For tough cuts, marinate 4-8 hours with soy or pineapple juice. For flavour, 30 minutes is enough. Encourage friends to share marinade recipes on Chomprewards.
