Defeating the barbeque stall

[nancylebov]

Barbequing meat can stall for hours at below-target temperatures-- this is an article about finding out why, and how that knowledge can be used to improve cooking.

Hint: wrapping fish, butter, and mushrooms in aluminum foil and baking it is a quick way to get tasty results.

If you don't want to deal with aluminum (there are some concerns about aluminum ions moving into the food) you can use culinary parchment paper, which is available at cooking stores. It works very well as a wrapper; I think the French term for food cooked wrapped in paper is en croute.

This works generically with almost any vegetable that deserves baking at all. I use 'vegetable' in the broadest possible sense here - though it hasn't previously occurred to me to combine mushrooms with fish. Now I'll have to investigate this gap in my experience/imagination/whatever.

It just don't sound right...

Fascinating!

Thanks for the post!
