Modern Technologies and BBQ

While there’s a place for old-fashioned BBQ techniques, modern technology are changing this classic cooking method. Many of these modern gadgets such as voice-activated devices to touchscreens, make barbecue more enjoyable and less grueling. Some even allow you to monitor the temperature of your food as well as the amount of liquid used. This can help you learn the proper techniques for broiling.

While barbecue lovers may have their own rules and traditions (such as using the appropriate wood for cooking different meats or sticking to certain rubs or sauces), consumers are open to trying new flavors. One trend we’re seeing in 2024 is a global flavor mixing, as barbecuers look at marinades rubs, sauces, and rubs inspired by international cuisines. From the tangy Korean gochujang to smoky Mexican chipotle, this fad is helping barbecuers to modern technologies and BBQ take their taste buds on a world tour.

While smart grilling hasn’t yet become a huge hit, some manufacturers are considering how they can integrate connected technology to their products in order to reach a wider audience of consumers who may be intimidated by traditional barbeque methods. One manufacturer combines a sensor and software to make an intelligent BBQ that can determine the temperature of the meat’s interior. This could be a helpful option for anyone who’s had a burn from a barbecue that was cooked too long or brisket that was undercooked. It also helps reduce the risk of cooking your meat by making sure that it’s cooked correctly every time.
