There’s hardly any foods that do not actually taste better when prepared on a grill. There is just something about the flavour that a bbq grill lends to meats like steak and chicken, seafood, veggies, including fruit that makes it a real taste treat. Now that you have a bbq grill, before you start throwing things on the grill, it might help to have a few tips on getting the very best flavor from the foods that you prepare on your grill. Here are some of the basics for getting the most from your grill.
Starting out with a hot bbq grill is very important. The grill needs to achieve the proper temperature before you ever place the food on it. You will know that the grill is right where you need it to be in terms of temperature if you get the grill lines on the meat fairly quickly. The idea behind placing food on a hot grill only, rather then placing it on a cold grill and letting it heat, is that a hot grill will immediately sear the juices of the meat inward. Having juicy and tender meat is important for the very best taste. When juices are seared into the meat it allows preservation of tenderness and can keep the meat from overcooking or becoming dry and tough.
One thing that many individuals make a blunder with is the manner of flipping the meat on their bbq grill. There is a commonly held fallacy that flipping the meat too much will damage it – in reality, it is more damaging to poke a fork into it over and over again to assess doneness. Each time a fork is poked into the meat, it is damaging the meat and removing juices. Obviously, it is okay to poke the meat one or two times to make sure it is progressing properly, but do not forget – a steak really should not be stabbed with a fork over and over- it possibly will wind up with the consistency of leather that way. Flipping the meat several times is just fine provided the meat is handled gently, and the same goes for practically any food that you’re going to prepare on your grill.
