Grilling Tips: Off Topic but On, oh my!
Howdy,
Food should be completely thawed before cooking!
Marinating meat by soaking for several hours in refrigerator will break down the cellular structure of the meat. This tenderizes meat and decreases cooking time! Marinating can be done by injection, but I don't do it! Sure, it is for quick flavoring and allows one to cook immediately and is more convenient, I just don't do it.
Use tongs or a spatula instead of a fork when turning meat. Some of the natural juices will be lost(forever) if the meat is pierced!
Use naturally lean meats, trim excess fat from steaks, and remove skin from poultry unless the directions tell you differently.
Add some soaked wood chips(Mesquite) to the bottom of your grill for different flavors!
For the best results, wipe cooking surface of your grill with a light coat of oil to help continue to build the patina.
I recommend using lean cuts of meat and trimming excess fat from meat to reduce the chance of flare ups.
If a flare up does occur, reduce heat and place lid on grill, duh! Again I add use lean cuts, unless you like the result of fats!
