Research suggests that basting meat in beer
before grilling reduces the chance of potentially cancerous chemicals being
formed during cooking.
Researchers marinated pork for four hours in
three different types of beer - lager, non-alcoholic lager and a black beer. The
meat was then cooked to well done on a charcoal grill. The results found that
all of the beers reduced the levels of eight types of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH), a chemical linked with cancer which forms when meat is
cooked at very high temperatures.
The black beer proved most effective, cutting
the levels by more than half, the researchers said. The non-alcoholic beer was
the least effective, although it did still reduce levels.
This is a very useful tip. I wonder if drinking
beer as well helps reduce cancer risk more.
Oh blueberry in a sticky cake, sounds delish! And I guess it is time to invest in Guinness lol.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely time for Guinness!
DeleteBlueberry and sticky = delicious :-)
ReplyDeleteI am starting to look for beer-based meat marinades then ;-)
Thank you.
