I love barbecues... But there's one thing I hate, it's cleaning the grill with all the pieces of meat hanging on it. What a pain ! Luckily, there's a trick I've discovered that really makes cleaning the barbecue grate easier:it's newspaper. Check out the trick here.

2. Use a muffin tin for sauces

You have noticed ? Sometimes it's complicated to bring all the sauces at once to the garden table to accompany the grilled meats. We always forget one... So we constantly go back and forth between the kitchen and the garden. To be able to serve all the sauces at once, just use a clever trick:a cake pan that becomes a condiment pot. Plus, there's less washing up! Check out the trick here.

3. Use coarse salt to make less smoke

The barbecue that smokes all the guests, and even the neighbors, it's not really pleasant! It stings the eyes and it smells bad. Fortunately, a simple handful of coarse salt tossed on the coals will save your lunch. It couldn't be simpler! Check out the trick here.

4. Use aluminum foil to easily clean the grid

I told you about newspaper to more easily clean a barbecue grill on which the meat has hung. But meat is often wrapped in aluminum foil. So before throwing it in the trash, as long as it is useful for something. Rolled into a ball, it will be perfect for cleaning the grid more easily. Check out the trick here.

5. Use coffee grounds to clean the grid quickly

Here's a great way to recycle coffee grounds and wash the barbecue grill without scrubbing! If the barbecue grill is very dirty, you will be happy to know this trick. To remove all the stuck-on grime, simply soak the grid in a coffee bath. Check out the trick here.

6. Use lemon slices so the fish doesn't stick

Mackerels, sardines, salmon... it's true that grilled fish is a change from meat and it's super good! The problem is that the fish tends to stick to the grid and scatter into small pieces. Have you experienced this too? So here's how to avoid this problem:just put slices of lemon on the grill and put the fish on it. Check out the trick here.

7. Rub the grid with an onion so that it does not stick

The rack that hangs... it also happens with nice pieces of meat. Such a waste ! If you don't want to use lemons to keep the grate from sticking, take a halved onion and rub it on the grate. The result will be the same as with the lemon:no food sticks! Check out the trick here.

8. The trick to obtaining tender meat every time

Meat, we like it really tender! When it cuts easily and melts in your mouth... What a disappointment when you come across a hard-to-chew sole. To avoid this problem, simply provide a small marinade with lemon juice and olive oil to tenderize your meat. Check out the trick here.

9. Use baking soda to reduce the flames

Too many embers or a little grease that falls on it... and the flames get carried away. They get too high and it can quickly become dangerous. To avoid an accident and quickly reduce the size of the flames, I advise you to keep a mixture of water and baking soda on hand. Just spray it on the flames if they get too strong. Check out the trick here.

10. Use toilet paper rolls to make fire starters

Why buy fire starters when you can make them yourself? Besides, we only use stuff that we were going to throw in the trash. Come on, let's recycle empty toilet paper rolls and dryer lint into super-efficient firelighters for the barbecue. Check out the trick here.

11. Or use corks

There is another cheap and smart trick to start your barbecue without buying firelighters. I'm sure you have some corks at home that you keep just in case... Well here's a great opportunity to use those corks. They make great fire starters! Check well before that it is a cork stopper and not a plastic one! Check out the trick here.

12. Use rings from an old filing cabinet to store utensils

Tongs for catching meat, ember, spatula, metal brush, fork, knife... These are all utensils for making a good barbecue. The problem is to store them while keeping them close at hand! By using an old filing cabinet, they won't be lying around anymore. Does that surprise you? Check out the trick here.

13. Or an old glove

Well... I admit that we don't always have an old binder at home. But maybe you have an oven mitt that you no longer use? You know those heat-resistant gloves? Put it next to the barbecue and store all the utensils in it. Smart, isn't it? Check out the trick here.

14. No BBQ grill? Use spoons instead

It can happen that you no longer have a barbecue grill. And it would still be a shame to deprive yourself of a good grill. Fortunately, there is an incredible trick to barbecue, even when you don't have a grill. Just use metal cutlery. Check out the trick here.

Bonus tip

We always need a bellows to activate the flames of the barbecue or to start the embers. You do not have any ? No problem ! Just make one out of plastic bottles. You don't know how to do it? Check out the trick here.

There you go, you know all the tricks for a successful barbecue. I hope it makes your life easier and you enjoy it!
