Top Ten Grilling Tips

Here are a few rules of good grilling from the GrillJunkie team.

Rule 1:
Always keep your grill clean. This is an essential for good tasting food and safety!

Rule 2:
Always keep a close eye on what you’re grilling. Be proactive, watchful, and in control.

Rule 3:
Always keep your grill in a safe location away from anything flammable like lighter fluid, fences, your house, etc.

Rule 4:
When grilling low fat meats and other foods that stick, use oil or cooking spray on the grill grate However, never apply cooking spray to a lit grill.

Rule 5:
Do not use spray bottles of water to control flare-ups. Flare-ups are caused by too much fat and too much heat. Trim excess fat and when you turn meat on the grill move it to a different part of the grill.

Rule 6:
Do not add oil-based or sauces, or marinades to meat on the grill. This inevitably causes burning.

Rule 7:
Always allow yourself plenty of time to prepare and cook. Don't leave your family and/or guests waiting.

Rule 8:
Spice up your food a good hour or two before you hi the grill. This time allows the flavor sink in.

Rule 9:
Use the proper grilling tools. Using anything else, such as a table fork, which is good for eating, are not so good or safe for grilling.

Rule 10:
Always be sure to plan for and make more than enough food for everyone including unexpected guests.
