Grilling Recipes Tips
Clean the Grill: Before you even think about preheating that grill, make sure that the crate is cleaned. You will want to make sure that no gristle from the prior grilling session is going to stick to your current food. This will ensure your food grilled today holds fresh flavor without residue from prior food.
Bring Everything to the Grill: Many times I’ve tried to grill some food only to find that I forgot something like a fork or cheese that was needed. You have to make sure that you get all of your supplies in order and near the grill before you start cooking up that food.
Keep the Lid Down: If you want to make sure that your food holds the most flavors, then keep that grill lid down as much as possible. This helps the food develop that smokiness flavor that we all enjoy so much at a family BBQ event. This also allows food to cooker a little faster.
Use a Meat Thermometer: Have an instant-read meat thermometer on hand when grilling so that you are quick to know when your food is done. While you can use the firmness touch method, a meat thermometer will ensure your meat is truly cooked to temperature.
Use Marinades and Sauces: Lastly, you will want to make sure that you have a variety of marinades and sauces to grill your meat to the perfect flavor. Experiment with various marinades and sauces, be sure to read the labels so that you know whether to baste it on the meat or rub it on.
