Relax in Ojakalda recreation center in the middle of wonderful nature. We offer accommodation in the main house as well as the possibility to camp in our camping area..

grilling

  • In order to prevent flames from forming during grilling, the charcoal must be able to heat up sufficiently. When a grayish layer forms on the coals, it is the right time to put the meat on the grill.

  • In addition to meat and fish, you can also grill vegetables.

  • If you want to prevent the meat from sticking to the grate, rub a previously halved and slightly heated potato against the grate.

  • The slices of grilled meat should be at least 2 cm thick to prevent the meat from drying out on the grill.

  • You can get juicier meat if you let it cook a little longer after taking it off the grill.

  • If you use wooden skewers for chicken or vegetables, it would be good to soak them in water for about an hour beforehand so that they don’t burn.

  • It is easier to clean the grate immediately after grilling than later when it has already cooled down.
