Schritt 2: Fleisch, Fisch und Gemüse perfekt für den Grill vorbereiten
Fleisch vorbereiten
Rib Eye Steak vorbereiten
Spareribs vorbereiten
Spareribs zählen zu den Gerichten, bei denen das Messer eine ganze Menge Vorarbeit leisten muss, damit sie perfekt für den Grill sind. Wie Sie die feine Silberhaut fachmännisch entfernen, zeigen wir in unserem Film – es braucht auf jeden Fall ein scharfes Messer.
Wir haben unsere Spareribs für ein Maximum an Geschmack mariniert. Sofern Sie sich anders entschieden haben, schlagen wir einen klassisch amerikanischen Rub als Alternative vor. Mörsern Sie die Gewürze und reiben Sie das Fleisch kurz vor dem Grillen damit ein:
- je 2 Esslöffel Schwarzer Pfeffer, Senfkörner, Koriandersamen, Rauchsalz
- je 1 Esslöffel Steinsalz, Paprikaflocken, Kümmel, Paprikapulver und Knoblauch-Chips
How to prep fish
Knives with a flexible blade are best suited for preparing whole fish, because you need to make fine incisions on both sides of the fish to ensure even cooking and to avoid the skin curling up during grilling. For filleting and descaling, we recommend our Swiss Classic Filleting Knife because of its sharp and flexible blade.
Properly prepared: sea bass
Put the fish into a plastic bag and descale it inside the bag with a knife or a descaler, this way the cutting board stays clean. Then rinse the fish carefully inside and out and dab dry with a paper towel. Make fine incisions in the skin on both sides at even intervals. Salt the fish inside and out. Coat the incisions with butter or olive oil so they don’t dry out.
If you didn’t choose to marinate your fish, you can add a Moroccan spice rub to fish. Grind the following spices together and rub into the fish shortly before grilling:
- 2 tablespoons of ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon each of caraway seeds, ground cumin, paprika,
- ¼ teaspoon salt and 3 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
How to prep vegetables
The right knives also make precision-cutting vegetables and herbs easier. A serrated blade is ideal for soft, plump skin (e.g. tomatoes). A sharp, smooth blade helps with hard skin or firm fruit.
We recommend choosing seasonal vegetables that are not too soft, otherwise they can fall through the grill. It’s best to cut the vegetables into equally sized pieces so that they are cooked through at the same time. Whole vegetables like corn on the cob can simply be rubbed with oil or fleur de sel before grilling.
