Great Grilling Tips!

Coffee BreakJune 28, 2018

Whether you use a modest charcoal grill or an upscale Weber, we’ve got your BBQ success covered! Here are some great grilling tips that will take your ‘cue to the next level.

 

  1. USE A MUFFIN TRAY FOR CONDIMENTS

Keep all of your barbecue trimmings in one convenient place: a muffin tray! The 12 sections are perfectly suited for housing your condiments.

 

  1. CLEAN WITH AN ONION

The next time you use your grill, clean it while it’s still hot. Slice an onion in half, and use it to scrub the drippings and other gunk off your grill. It should come off easily.

 

  1. LAYER YOUR GRATE FOR VEGGIES

Place an old barbecue grate across your existing one before grilling vegetables. The grid should keep your veggies from slipping through, while giving you the flame-licked taste you savor.

 

  1. ADD A SMOKER TO AN ELECTRIC GRILL

Wrap some wood chips in foil, poke holes in the parcel and toss it on top of the grill’s burner below your grate. Keep your grill on medium-low. Your parcel will lend your food a hint of sensational smokiness! 

 

  1. USE TWO SKEWERS

Double your skewers per kebab so individual pieces of meat or chicken don’t rotate on their own as you flip the kebab.

 

  1. SMOKE LEMONS

For an easy burst of flavor for your grate, halve some lemons and grill them on low heat for a few minutes, peel-side down.

 

  1. SHORT ON TIME? NUKE IT

Cook your chicken in the microwave until it’s nearly ready. Then, throw it on the grill to give it a flaming finish!

 

  1. USE A FOIL TENT

To help your cooked meat retain moisture and to distribute its juices evenly, let it rest under a loose foil tent for ten minutes before serving.

 

  1. USE ALL THE HEAT

When you’ve finished cooking, pile your still-warm grill with any foods that need to stay warm, your buns, or some foil-wrapped s’mores for a delectable dessert!
