FabSwingers.com forum: Should women be allowed to cook on the barbecue?

Mrs Absolutebeginner took over barbecue duties last night and instead of burgers and chicken legs that we could burn around the outside she put on jacket potatoes, corn on the cob and chicken and peppers on skewers!! She then proceeded to garnish with a side salad once everything was eventually cooked. I had to sneak a couple of burgers on when she wasn’t looking.

Should we let the women loose on the barbecue?

BBQ's are for men. Burgers and sausages and smoke.

Corn on the what now?! Sounds like you've learned your lesson OP.

Potatoes were in tin foil, took bloody ages. I agree steelheels, barbecue is for men, only burgers, sausages and chicken should go on! Side salad is for wimps and who mentioned potato salad ffs!

What kind of man are you? Chicken you say, that is a borderline vegetable! If you are not cookin steak on there your wife has every right to remove you from bbq duties, to be honest i'm surprised she didnt slap you off it

You'll be having bananas stuffed with chocolate buttons next.

If it's not burnt it's not cooked. BBQ 101.

It's food. So long as the level of taste doesn't suffer then who cares who cooks it?

I prefer to cook (anywhere) as it means I'm not having to crawl around on the floor entertaining small kids.

Sounds like you need to up your bbq game. Marinated lamb kebabs, or spiced chicken (tikka, cajun etc). We bbq'd some Thai mussels last summer. Just having "meat" is boring AF!

We went to a friends bbq at W/end and she did a great job cooking on the bbq. Everything cooked to perfection and quite a few of us there- all that was left were a couple of sausages and everyone enjoyed it!

I cook up a mean bbq. When my friends bfd I go camping I have to have 3 bbq's on the go.... One meat and one veggie. The veggie and meat utensils can never cross bbw's as my friend is a veggie and doesn't want her food contaminated.

We have lots of meat, steak, sausages, burgers, fish sometimes, chops all cooked to perfection.

Then as we are eating out mains I pop on some pineapples wedges and peaches for pudding.

No need for undercooked food on a bbq.... Just cook better!

The only time I've ever had food poisoning is from a restaurant in the autobahn in Germany.... Never from a bbq

If you know what you’re doing you’d be fine - never had a dodgy stomach/had food poisoning or food that’s undercooked!

I love bbq’s as you can be chatting and having fun whilst foods cooking making sure guests are having a good time instead of being stuck indoors in a kitchen bored leaving the guests to entertain themselves- and besides bbq easier to clean/sort out then cooker!

I built ma own BBQ when I lived at a previous address, bricks & mortar, half an oil drum and a dismembered shopping trolley and the job's a good 'un. Women were barred from the immediate vicinity whilst cooking was in progress. Ma mate, who I sold the house to, enforces the same rule as well

Asparagus, haloumi cheese, prawns or langoustines. Then the meat, marinated lamb kebabs, burgers for the kids then sausages. Part boiled corn on the cob. Then finish with pineapple skewers soaked in syrup and cinnamon.

The secret is the order in which you cook stuff.
