TIP
The number one rule for cooking for a crowd is PLANNING! The second
would be to use only tried and proven recipes. Grilling should be fun and
stress free leave new recipes for your everyday cooking.
Planning includes not only a menu, but also the complete party. Chairs, tables, dishes, utensils,
entertainment, and planned or unplanned weather conditions. Rented beverage coolers, extra
table and chairs, or maybe even a tent may be added conveniences to consider.
Select menu items that can be completely or partially prepared in advance – salads, condiments,
casseroles, breads, baked goods, and smoked meats. Try smoking a turkey the day before for
big event. A turkey will pick up more of the smoke flavour after setting in the refrigerator over
night and because of the convection cooking of your grill the meat will be just as juicy as if done
straight of the grill.
Grill “time proven” classics such as burgers, chicken pieces, hot dogs or sausages – all great
tasting and easy to grill.
Make a list of every food item you will be serving so that nothing will be forgotten in the rush.
Working backward from a planned serving time, decide when to start cooking each food so that
everything is ready at the right time. Make a schedule for cooking foods on the grill, plus any
indoor cooking.
Plan a serving dish and utensil for each food and have those items. Heavy-duty paper plates
come in many attractive colors and patterns and will save dishwashing later. Paper or plastic
beverage cups are a must if having any little ones, or young at heart, around.
TIP
To cut down on dishwashing and using every cup in your cupboard,
purchase plastic or styro-foam cups. Have your quests create their own
personalized decorated cup using markers, crayons and a little creativity.
Grill the meat or entrée at the specific recipe temperature, making adjustments with vegetables,
side dishes and breads if necessary.
Better yet, let everyone lend a hand, bring a favorite side dish, serve buffet, and have a great
time at your own party!
