Grill Like a Chef: Tips from Mr. Barker’s BBQ Specialists

Master the Flame with Pro-Level BBQ Advice

Grilling may seem simple—just meat, fire, and time. But true mastery? That’s in the details. At Mr. Barker, our team of BBQ experts brings years of experience, fine-tuned techniques, and flavour finesse to every halal-certified set we offer. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain and sharing insider tips to help you grill like a pro—whether you’re hosting in a park, your home, or anywhere in between.

First, don’t overcrowd the grill. It’s a rookie mistake. Meats like those in the Carnivore Celebration need space to breathe, sear, and caramelise. Cramped grills lead to steamed meats—not smoky, charred perfection.

Second, know your heat zones. Start meats like lamb and beef skewers from the Skewers Collection on high heat to sear, then move them to a cooler zone to cook through evenly without burning.

And always oil your grill. Whether you’re placing prawns from the Singapore Seafood BBQ or flipping fish fillets from the Mediterranean Seafood Grill, a slick grill surface ensures your proteins don’t stick or tear.

Pro Tip? Start with the Right Ingredients

You don’t need to be a chef to cook like one—you just need chef-prepared ingredients. Every Mr. Barker BBQ set is pre-marinated with time-tested recipes, portioned for optimal grilling, and packed fresh for immediate use.

Want local spice? Try the Straits Asian Grill. Prefer a smoky, western-style vibe? Go with the All-American BBQ. Round it out with our Sides Collection and Beverages Collection for a complete experience.

No Guesswork. Just Grill Greatness.

With Mr. Barker, the technique is up to you—but the quality is guaranteed. Our BBQ offerings are halal-certified, expertly seasoned, and curated for even cooking. There’s no need to spend hours prepping when the hard work’s already done.

Level up your next grill session with premium meats, seafood, and skewers that make you look like a BBQ expert—even if it’s your first time. Don’t forget to keep a water spray bottle nearby for flare-ups, and always let your meat rest for a few minutes before serving—it keeps the juices locked in.
