Top 8 Tips from Firebirds Certified Grill Masters
- Coat the meat...not the grill racks...in oil before grilling. Oil on the racks simply burns off, but oil on the meat helps the meat retain natural juices helps prevent it from sticking to the rack.
- Preheat the grill to at least 500 degrees by lighting the grill and closing the lid for at least 15 minutes.
- Keep the lid closed during cooking to quicken cooking times, seal in flavors, and prevent the meat from drying out. No need to turn the meat often as that decreases the caramelization that gives meats that unsurpassed grilled flavor.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes after removing it from the grill. Meat will continue to cook slightly as it is resting so cook just under the desired temperature
- Make sure your grill grates are cleaned and wiped down with a clean paper towel or towel
- Season your steaks well as some of the seasoning will fall off during grilling
- A good pair of tongs or a firm metal spatula is essential
- Do not press down on burgers or steaks to speed up the cooking process- this just makes them dry
