Get Grilling
Even thought it’s the start of the winter season, doesn’t mean you can’t still grill some of your food outdoors. There are many foods that taste the best on the grill and here are ways to help you grill to perfection anything you want.
1. Start with a clean grill and preheat the grill on high.
2. Lightly oil the food that you want to grill and it will help keep the food from sticking to the grates on the grill.
3. Lightly season the food on one side, the opposite side in which will hit the grill first.
4. Sear the food above the direct heat. This will help release the flavor and juices of the food and give more flavors.
5. Use tongs to flip the food, and if you are cooking hamburger patties, never smash them with a spatula.
6. Keep the lid closed while you are cooking the grill and use a spray bottle to spray any flare-ups.
7. Grill 60% on one side and 40% on the opposite side and once you flip the food season lightly the other side of the food.
8. Once grilling is done, place it on a clean plate and never use the same plate you brought the food to the grill on, this is called cross contamination and can make you sick.
9. Allow the food to rest for about 5 minutes before eating.
10. When you go to cut into the food, cut meat with the grain and veggies into strips or rounds. This will make for a better presentation.
