If nothing makes you happier than lighting up the 烧烤 on a summer evening, 放心,你不是一个人. In the United States, nearly 20% of people 烧烤 several times a week. 谁又能责怪他们呢? What smells better than a juicy steak on the 烧烤? Or some garden veggies splashed with olive oil and sprinkled with spices?

Throw in some good conversation while the 烧烤 does its magic, and you’ve got a perfect summer evening. 

While most of us focus on the yummy food coming off our 烧烤, you’ll be happy to know that 烧烤ing is also a great energy saver. 是的,你没看错. When you don’t power up your oven, you’re saving energy and lowering your energy costs. 事实上, cooking in your home during the hot summer months puts two of the biggest energy-consuming appliances—your oven and air conditioner—to work.

Grilling also comes with the added bonus of being a relatively healthy way to cook. Grease in 烧烤ed meats drips away during the 烧烤ing process, lowering fat and calories. You can also stick with lean meats like fish, chicken and lean cuts of beef and pork to keep calorie and fat intake down. 腌制肉类 before 烧烤ing has also shown to be of benefit. 另外,它很好吃.

不要忘了蔬菜. 花园蔬菜,如西葫芦, sweet potatoes and corn on the cob are delicious 烧烤ing choices. Sliced up potatoes tossed in olive oil with onions, peppers and spices also make for an easy 烧烤ing option that goes great with any 烧烤ed meats.

It’s also fun to accent your 烧烤ed meats with toppings and sides. Take for instance this recipe from our Black Hills Energy Service Guard Cookbook. This mango salsa is a summery mix of sweet mangos, spicy jalapeños and tart lime. It’s wonderful on top of 烧烤ed chicken, pork and fish.

烤架上的安全


Now that we’ve established that 烧烤ing is awesome, it’s important to remember the fire risks that can come from 烧烤ing. 只要你和火打交道, 尤其是在炎热的时候, 干天, it’s critical to keep fire safety in mind. The last thing you want is to turn a restful summer evening into a stressful fire situation.

Here are just a few fire-safety tips to consider when you’re 烧烤ing this summer.

  • Only 烧烤 outside and keep the 烧烤 at least 3 feet from siding and deck rails.
  • Wear appropriate clothes when 烧烤ing. Avoid long sleeves or pieces of materials that dangle and can catch fire easily.
