With Ken at Ken's Fresh Cut Meats
(It is with heavy hearts that we said goodbye to Ken McLaren on August 1st. Kenny was an all round great guy to his friends and customers, until we 'meat' again, as Ken would say, we miss you).
Hot tips for the barbecue
When are my ribs done?
Remember when you used to pinch the girls or boys? The same holds true here. Try to tear or pinch the meat from the bones. It should come off easily. If not, perhaps cook it some more. It is a matter of personal preference. The internal temperature of the ribs on the thick end should be 155 to 165

Keep Food From Getting All Stuck Up
Have you placed the meat on the hot grill only to have it stick and pull apart when trying to turn it over? Here is a simple remedy: Take a small amount of cooking oil and use a brush to coat the grill surface lightly. Another note, meat will naturally release from the grill when ready - even before the meat burns, you can take your pick.
Rainy Day Cooking
Always cook more than you plan on eating that day. It freezes well and tastes great on those cold and rainy days when the weather is too bad to barbecue. We realize the weather must be really threatening because very little stops the real BBQ chef!!
