Grilling basics

• Keep your grill grates clean to prevent sticking

• Give yourself plenty of time to prepare and heat up the grill before cooking

• Always keep an eye on what you are cooking

• Have the proper grill tools to do the job

• Oil the food not the grill. Oil burns away at high temperatures so it is pointless to oil the cooking grate

• Season your food at least one hour before you grill to allow flavors to sink in

• Do not add sugary sauces or marinades to meat on the grill since this causes burning over open flame

• Keep grill away from anything flammable
