We're well into the warm weather and that means every supper should start by turning on the BBQ.  With that in mind here are some rules to follow if you're new to the art of grilling.


Brush the Grill

Grill grates are not self-cleaning. Bits of charred flesh get stuck to them, and if you don’t remove them, they will remain to attach themselves to your next rack of ribs. 

 

Pre-Heat The Grill

You know those gorgeous rows of sear marks that you aspire to bring to every burger? Those only happen with the grill grates themselves have time to get as hot as the fire. Cover the grill for five or 10 minutes after lighting.

 

Use A Thermometer

It is an easy and reliable way to tell if food has reached a temperature that’s safe for consumption. 

 

Grill Your Vegetables

You’re not doing yourself any favors if you’ve never eaten grilled asparagus, zucchini or an ear of grilled corn. 

 

Rest Your Steaks

This has less to do with flavor or juiciness than it has to do with food safety. During the rest time after grilling, the meat’s temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys harmful germs.

 

Apply Your Sauce Near The End

Barbecue sauce doesn’t really “seep into” meat. The best you can do is coat a piece of meat in barbecue sauce, and that’s best done toward the end of the cooking process. Otherwise, the sauce will caramelize and burn. Not good.
