Grilling Tips and Techniques

Cooking over an open fire is the oldest cooking technique known to humanity and it’s still one of the most universal.

Grilling is a popular style of cooking; with smoky flavors and  mouthwatering aromas, grilling offers endless opportunities to create a  world of satisfying and delicious meals — from savory Mexican recipes  like carne asada to Indian recipes like tandoori chicken.

Grilling  works for all kinds of foods — from grilled shrimp scampi to baby back  ribs. And it’s a perfect solution for everyone — the cooking impaired  who need easy recipes; dieters looking for low carb recipes; and  backyard BBQ chefs celebrating the 4th of July. Grilling does it all.

In  this article, we’ll show you how to conquer the grilling basics and  teach you everything you need to know to grill like a pro.

  • Grilling Equipment and Tools The  biggest purchase you’re going to want to make in order to barbecue your  favorite steak is the grill itself. We’ll define what a hibachi is and  discuss the differences between charcoal grills, covered cookers, and  gas grills to help you buy the right grill for you.
    We’ll also  talk about some of the different grilling tools and accessories that  will help you whether you’re flipping burgers, grilling shrimp, or  figuring out how to get that corn on the cob to stay on the grill.
  • Fire and Heat Getting  that mouth-watering fish steak just right is part of the art of  grilling. Most recipes won’t help you figure out the combination of  grilling temperature, grilling time, and proximity. This section will  light your way about everything fire and heat. We’ll teach you how to  light that fire, grill safely, use direct and indirect heat, and check  the temperature on your grill.
  • Smoke and Marinade Rubs The  delicious smoky flavor of grilled dishes comes as much from the cooking  process as it does from the recipe. If you’re using a charcoal grill,  you have to be more creative about how to get that smoked taste. We’ll  show you different ways to create flavored smoke to add flavor to your  favorite grilled recipes.
    Rubs, marinades, bastes, and sauces  are the perfect complement to grilled recipes. These simple ways of  popping a recipe from good to delicious are easy to learn and fun to  try. We’ll teach you about the differences between dry rubs, paste  rubs, flavoring marinades, tenderizing marinades, and basting and  dipping sauces. The best part is that we’ll also teach you how to use  them well.
