*Preheat your grill 15 to 25 minutes before you start cooking to make sure it reaches the right temperature

*If you choose charcoal grilling, we recommend additive-free lump charcoal, which is just charred wood.

*Brush it off after you preheat – it’s easier to remove debris when it’s hot.

*Lean foods will stick to even a clean grill so make sure you oil your hot grill rack with a vegetable oil-soaked paper towel (hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack).  

*Use separate cutting boards and platters for raw vs. cooked food – safety first!

*The best way to know when meat is fully cooked is to check its internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer.

*Let finished meats rest on a clean platter, tented with foil, for about 10 minutes before carving so juices can redistribute evenly.

Happy Grilling!
