Carcinogenic Effects/BBQ

[Guest guest]

The carcinogenic effects from BBQ'ing food come from using meat/fat. Grilling

veggies, tofu, etc., do not produce the same negative substances.

 

I haven't BBQ'd in awhile (prefer roasting). I do recall reading a recipe

somewhere recently that involved using cornstarch in a marinade instead of oil

to marinate, say, tofu.

 

A quick " fatfree marinade " search using a search engine yields some interesting

possibilities. The trickiest part if grilling a veg protein is keeping it from

sticking to the grill.

 

I've used a " vegetable/fish " basket in the past to " roast " the veggies on the

grill. I've also barbecued pizza crust then added topping and a hood on the

barbecue.

 

Do note that " tofu pups " and other meat analogs tend to cook very fast.
