TOOLS
Make sure you’re equipped with these master grillers’ tools of the trade:
- Tongs or spatula: for turning grilled foods
- Disposable aluminum tray: for heating side foods like baked beans
- Wire grill brush: for cleaning grill
- Insulated, flame-retardant mitts: for handling hot coals and grill
- Long-handled tongs: for handling briquets
HOW TO GRILL
- Keep food from sticking by rubbing grill with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Leaving space around each food item on the grill allows for even cooking and smoke penetration.
- Turn meat just once on the grill.
- Use tongs or a spatula to turn food. Hot dogs can lose moisture and flavorful juices when pierced by a fork.
- Keep a spray bottle filled with water handy so you can spritz flare-ups, which can blacken your food.
- Brush the grilling surface (once it’s cooled) with a wired brush to remove any stuck on food.
