If you have leftover barbecue like chicken or steak, put meat in a pan with a can of Coke and reheat in oven, the meat stays extra tender without ruining the grill flavor.

My uncle, who is a retired chef, always marinates steaks in Coca-Cola before barbecuing. It works as a great tenderizer.

When preparing a pot roast, use Coke instead of water – it tenderizes and imparts a unique flavor.

I had a friend who made the best homemade barbecue that I can remember. He mixed 50/50 Coca-Cola and Heinz ketchup together, and slathered on meat.

Soooo…two questions? If you put the can of coke in the oven with the leftover bbq meat, does the can explode? Okay that was not a serious question. But this one is…is there a difference in tenderizing and flavor between coke and diet coke? I assume everyone here is referring to regular coke?
