BARBECUE UNIVERSITY™ 2012

Dates Just Announced: June 6th to 9th and June 9th to 12th… Register Today!

Steven Raichlen has enthralled millions with his Barbecue Bible!cookbook series and his popular Primal Grill and Barbecue University shows on PBS. Once a year, in two back-to-back sessions, he shares his incomparable knowledge of live fire cooking in an intimate, convivial setting at the luxurious 5-diamond Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs. Welcome to Barbecue University™—named the ultimate hands-on grilling experience by Esquire Magazine, Travel & Leisure, Bon Appetit, and The Food Network.

Now in its 12th year, Barbecue University™ attracts an international clientele, with students from as far away as Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, South Africa, and Dubai, not to mention Canada, the Caribbean, and virtually every state in the U.S.

Each three-day workshop kicks off with a meet-and-greet cocktail party, featuring signature dishes from the Broadmoor’s many fine restaurants. The next morning, students are shuttled to the BBQ U’s stunning indoor-outdoor mountainside “classroom,” the Cheyenne Mountain Lodge. Morning coffee in hand and breakfast eaten, they wander to the “burn area” to acquaint themselves with the smokers and grills—more than 30—they’ll have the opportunity to use during three days of hands-on instruction. Preparing at least eight recipes per day guarantees everyone learns the six methods of live-fire cooking. Meanwhile, the Broadmoor’s culinary staff prepares a lavish lunch featuring the same recipes.

Afternoons are free for golf (the Broadmoor has three championship golf courses), spa time, shopping in charming Colorado Springs, tennis, hiking, sightseeing, or relaxing.

Rates for standard room accommodation on the three-night package start at $2,518 for one person attending Barbecue University™ and $3,893 for two people. The package includes the welcome reception for you and a guest, a daily Continental breakfast, and lunch after each class.

To register for Barbecue University™ or to inquire about room and suite upgrades and availability, please call 800-634-7711 or e-mail Noemi Kiss-Baldwin at NKiss-Baldwin@broadmoor.com. Enrollment is limited to 55 people per session. Please book early: each year we sell out. This is one course where you don’t want to be on the waiting list.

THE GRILL GURU’S MANTRA

THE GRILL GURU’S MANTRA
Follow these rules whenever you grill steaks, chops, fish, chicken breasts, vegetables, tofu-pretty much any small or slender food. They’re designed to minimize sticking and maximize flavor and grill marks:

The Three Essential Rules for Great Grilling:

1. Keep it hot
Preheat your gas grill to high or build a “2 to 3 Mississippi” fire in a charcoal grill. (For the latter, place your hand about a half beer can high over the grate. Start counting: “1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi,” etc. By the time you reach “2 or 3 Mississippi,” the intense heat of a properly lit charcoal grill will force you to snatch your hand away.

2. Keep it clean
Brush the bars of the hot grate with a stiff wire brush. This dislodges any debris and minimizes sticking. If you don’t have a grill brush (and you should), use a crumpled ball of aluminum foil.

3. Keep it lubricated
Fold a paper towel into a small pad, dip it in oil, and using tongs, rub it over the bars of the grill grate. Or lift the grate off the grill and spray it with spray oil. (Never spray oil directly onto a lit grill - you’ll get Vesuvian flare-ups.) Oiling the grill helps prevent sticking and it gives you killer grill marks.
