Public BBQs Done Properly. TOP 5 things to remember.
1. Oil + paper towel
Public plates are clean, but a quick oil wipe stops sticking and makes cleanup easier for the next person.
2. Long-handled tongs
One decent pair saves burns, mess, and stress.
3. Foil (your secret weapon)
Cooks onions. Warms bread. Covers resting meat. Protects the plate if needed. Non-negotiable.
4. Hand wipes or a damp cloth
Before cooking. After eating. For kids, hands, benches, and spills.
5. A simple crowd-pleaser
Sausages, skewers, marinated chicken, veg burgers. Public BBQs shine when food is easy and forgiving.
Bonus tip:
Arrive early. You get the best cooktop and picnic table, more shade, less wind, and zero queue.
