You want to be an expert at grilling but you have only had your grill for a short period of time. There are things that you can do right away to take your grilling skills to the next level and start to impress those who eat the food that you make.
1. Season Your Food Well
It is important for you to pay attention to the food that you are going to be grilling before it even gets on the grill. Make sure that you add plenty of seasoning to all meats and vegetables that you are going to be grilling, and make sure that the seasonings are sticking to that food as you move it onto the grill.
2. Don't Grill Frozen Food Without Thawing It First
You might be tempted to grab a pack of meat from the freezer and throw it onto your grill. Doing that, though, will cause you to end up with meat that is not cooked evenly or that is dry and not enjoyable. You should thaw your food before putting it on your grill so that it can all cook at an even pace.
3. Take Advantage of Store Bought Sauces
You do not have to make your own sauces and marinades for the food that you are going to be grilling. Take advantage of well known and well reviewed sauces to help give your food a good taste.
4. Don't Be Afraid to Follow Recipes
There are recipes available from those who are experts at using grills. When you follow those recipes, you should be able to make food that turns out and that tastes good. Take your time and read through a recipe before you start cooking so that you get an idea of what you are going to be doing, then keep the recipe close to you as you start to grill up your meal.
5. Pay Attention to the Grill's Temperature
It is important that you don't let your grill get too hot. If it is too hot, you will burn parts of your food but not get to the center of that food. You need to have your grill at a good temperature so that you can slowly get a full piece of meat to the doneness that you are looking for it to be at.
6. Don't Try to Grill Too Much at Once
When you crowd your grill, you keep air and heat from moving around all of the food that you have in that limited space. It is important for you to allow each food item that you put on your grill to have a bit of space around it so that it can cook well and crisp up nicely.
7. Let Meat Rest When It Comes Off of the Grill
It is important for a piece of meat to rest when it comes off of the grill so that its juices can redistribute. Try not to be so rushed with your grilling that you do not have time to let meat rest as you pull it off of the grill.
There are simple things that you can do to keep the grilling process easy and also end up with a good collection of perfectly grilled food.
