While there is no ‘right way’ to grill, there are definitely things you can do to make it better and things you can do to make it worse. Here are a few things you want to avoid when grilling:
1) Don’t press down on the meats with a spatula. It presses the juices out of the meat and onto the flame.
2) Cutting too quickly. Wait ten minutes after removing the meat from the grill to carve it.
3) Jumping the gun. Make sure you plan time to thaw and/or marinate the meat before you cook it.
And to take your grill-outs to that next level, here are a few things to remember as you grill:
1) It sounds basic, but start with a clean grill. There’s nothing worse than having your meat taste like the last two things you cooked on that grill.
2) Pre-heat your grill for 15-20 minutes before you intend to cook. Don’t waste time or energy cooking on a grill that is not at the right temperature.
3) Use a gas grill for a cleaner taste and more even cooking. The constant flame creates better conditions for cooking than using charcoal, and is much easier to control.
As you grill, make sure you don’t cut corners. Time is almost always saved at the expense of taste. And make sure your grill is in good repair with working parts.
