Читать книгу Tailgating Done Right Cookbook - Anne Schaeffer - Страница 6

In this book, I’m giving you the yummiest recipes to help you pull off an awesome tailgating menu. To get started, here are a few of my favorite tips for pre-game success.

✘ Prepare as much of the food as possible in advance. Premix your drinks, marinate your chicken, make the dips, and pack the cookies.

✘ If you’re headed to the game, check the venue’s website for tailgating rules so there are no surprises when you arrive.

✘ Frozen bottles of water will not only keep food cold in your cooler, it will also give you ice-cold drinking water as the ice melts.

✘ Make sure you have more fuel or charcoal for your grill than you think you’ll need. Also, think about how you’ll pack and bring home a dirty grill.

✘ Heavy-duty aluminum foil and disposable foil pans are great for reheating food on the grill.

✘ Car power socket-compatible slow cookers are great for keeping chilis and dips warm, but I still recommend actually making them ahead of time.

✘ Take trash bags or big plastic bins for hauling out your trash when you leave.

✘ Pack a few portable chairs and a folding table.

✘ Using a tablecloth makes for easier cleanup, no matter where you are.

✘ Disposable wet wipes or good ol’ soap and water are a must for messy fingers. I do not recommend wiping hands on game day jerseys!
