Grilling Tips:
a. Heat Control:
The most important element in grilling is heat control. To get an even cook, it is important to turn the food at appropriate intervals to ensure uniform cooking. Create different cooking zones on your grill for versatility in cooking meats, vegetables, and fruits. A grill thermometer will also help you control the heat.
b. Marinating:
Marinating your meat before grilling is crucial to add flavor and tenderness. Use ingredients like olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juices. Place the meat and marinade in a resealable plastic bag or a container with a lid, and place it in the fridge. Marinading your chicken, steak, and pork for 20 minutes to an hour will surely give your meat an outstanding flavor.
c. Grilling:
When ready to grill, preheat the grill or smoker for 10 to 15 minutes on high heat. Set up two-zone grilling by placing coals on one side of the grill and leaving the other side empty. Place your meat over direct heat first then move it to indirect heat to finish cooking. This will prevent your meat from burning while still achieving
