National Braai Day: How to have a lekker braai using Glad products
A few handy hints before and after today's National Braai Day braai extravaganza.
The weather is getting warmer, summer clothes are out and it’s time to grab that swimming gear!
Not that any South African needs an excuse to have a braai, but what better day is there to get those coals lit than on National Braai Day/ Heritage Day, when GLAD will make for a trusty companion, helping the day to run smoothly?
Here are a few handy hints:
• Check what’s already in your fridge and freezer before making a beeline to the shops – you might find that you already have a feast just waiting to be sizzled on the open flame.
• There are so many foods that taste scrumptious off the braai; but if you’re planning a big day with your buddies, remember to wrap all your goodies in Cling Wrap beforehand to keep them fresh and pest-free!
• If you’re preparing your food the night before, wrap salad dishes and marinating meat containers in Press ‘n Seal; it’ll seal in the freshness with airtight strength and keep the food from spilling if you’re travelling somewhere
• Foil helps to make braais versatile! You can use foil to cook potatoes or mealies on the braai. You can also use it to wrap your garlic bread and put it straight onto the hot coals
• Ice Cube Bags are perfect for cool drinks. Use them as conventional ice cubes, or freeze fruit juices and cordials for a delicious edge in your summer drink!
• And then there are the leftovers. Cooked meat needs to be wrapped in Cling Wrap, stored in the fridge and then eaten within two days to be safe.
National Braai Day is wonderful time for family and friends to get together and have a good time.
