Cooking Quick Tips: Better Grilling

The weekend is coming pretty soon, and with it comes some fantastic opportunities to grill. That's why we're devoting today to giving you some quick tips for better grilling.

• Prevent food from sticking to the grill by oiling the grill plate once it's hot, after it's been scraped clean. You'll also have an easier time cleaning the grill when it's hot. Don't use nonstick cooking spray, though. The time saved isn't worth the risk of a flare-up
• Don't listen to people who tell you the best way to cook a burger is by flipping it only once. A study showed that flipping meat every 15 seconds resulted in a much more even cook and in less time. You just don't end up with those distinct hash marks. The plus side: The burger takes about 2/3 of the time to cook.
• To cook vegetables without watching them slip through the gril grates, place a wire cooling rack perpendicular to the grill grates, heat for 5 minutes, then rub with oil.
• Don't worry about brushing sauce on both sides of the meat when it comes time. Instead, keep the sauce in a small saucepan, then dip the meat in, shake the excess, and put it right back on the grill for final cooking.

Still looking for the reeivw from you guys on the char broil gas and electric grills. There are also small metal cans like tuna cans you can buy that have wood chips for smoke flavor. I'm more partial to smoking, but it's nice to be able to do both or either. I'm not big on burnt fat flavor and have used maple chips and cherry chips for brats and chicken. Piercing is best for draining the fat. George Foreman grills burn grill lines and I didn't care for that and cleaning was a pain. Keep looking
