Grilling Tips
Before we dive into the recipes, let's go over some essential grilling start up tips to help you get the most out of your grilling experience!
-
Clean Your Grill: Before you start grilling, make sure your grill is clean. A dirty grill can affect the flavor of your food, and it can even be a safety hazard. Use a wire brush to clean the grates, and wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.
-
Preheat Your Grill: Preheating your grill is essential for getting those perfect grill marks and evenly cooked food. Turn on your grill and let it heat up for 10-15 minutes before you start cooking. For those charcoal fans start your fire and setup your cook plan at least 20 minutes before you plan to add your food.
-
Oil Your Grates: To prevent your food from sticking to the grates, brush them with oil before you start grilling. Use a neutral oil like avocado, olive, canola or vegetable oil.
-
Don't Flip Too Often: Resist the urge to constantly flip your food. Let it cook for a few minutes on one side before flipping it over. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from falling apart. ThatRack Eliminates FLIPPING!!

Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your meat is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For beef, pork, and lamb, aim for 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done. For chicken and turkey, aim for 165°F.
- Ensure your cooking area is safe from fire hazards and tripping risks cooking outdoors or in gas or charcoal and ensure you know your local fire risk. Keep at least 2 feet between walls and surfaces from your cooking area.
