Avoid flattening and squishing meats
It is possible that you have heard meat need to be chilled in order to make it soft. It's not quite true. Squishy patties don't actually extract moisture. They increase flavor and surface area. A meat mallet is a better alternative to pressing meat flat with your fingers. It flattens the meat and breaks down connective tissue and fibers.
Avoid flare ups
Avoid adding too much fat before grilling to prevent flare-ups. Foods with too much fat may burn more quickly, and you might end up having to reduce cooking time. Keep your grill clean to avoid flare-ups. You can prevent flare-ups by using a wire-bristle toothbrush to remove any charred material from the grill grates.
Lean meat is one way to avoid flare-ups. Another option is to trim the excess fat before grilling. Another way to tell when the meat's done is to use an electronic food thermometer. You can prepare the meat ahead of time by either using the microwave or placing it in the microwave. It is best to prepare whole chickens in advance so you know how much to grill.
Oil the grates of your grill
A well-oiled grill grate will last for months, if it not years, while you cook. Oil will prevent food from sticking on the grates, which can lead to flare ups. The oil will also prevent rust stains from your grill. Here are some easy ways that you can oil your grill grates:
To remove any flavors that have developed over time, clean your grill grate. This will make it easier to evenly season the grill grate and prolong its life. Next, coat your grate using high-heat vegetable oil. You can also use coconut oil, peanut oil or canola oils for this purpose. You can also use vegetable oil spray-cans. Let the oil drip onto a grate for 20-30 minutes, or until it turns brown.
Do not allow carryover cooking
You are probably aware of carryover cooking. This is when heat moves from one part to the next. This problem can affect food as well as non-food items such hot rocks. This problem can be avoided by allowing food to cool off before placing it back on a grill. This is not a solution. To avoid the problem, these are some tips you can use to get the best results.
Resting your meat properly is the best way to avoid carryover cooking while grilling. After the meat is removed from the barbecue, its temperature will increase. This means that it will need to be restrained for 5-15 minutes. Resting the meat allows the juices to distribute. The better, the longer the rest time. A longer resting time is better for larger pieces. But, you'll have to follow these steps for each individual dish.
