A lot of cooking on a gas grill is done by instinct. Still, there are some basic techniques that are worth learning about in order to achieve the best barbecue experience. Beyond that, your imagination is the limit for how great you can be as a barbecue chef. Below are some grilling tips that you can learn in order to avoid the most common mistakes made by barbecue cooks that use gas grills Wilkes-Barre PA.
About fifteen minutes before you start cooking, preheat the grill to the temperature you need. This gets the grill to the right temperature so the food starts cooking the second it hits the grill. Preheating the grill also sanitizes it.
The best grill settings are as follows:
The heat that is required depends on what you are grilling. When the grill is completely hot, it sears the food on contact. This also helps prevent sticking. Contrary to popular belief, searing does not seal in juices. Instead, it improves flavor by caramelizing the surface of the meat.
Keeping the grill clean is important. A grill brush is the ideal tool for doing this. If you like to grill a lot, you might be inclined to scrub the grill right after cooking. Instead, just relax and enjoy your meal. Leave cleaning the grill until the next time you fire up the barbecue. This should be done just after you preheat the grill. That is the best time to use your grill brush and clean off anything left from the previous time.
As said earlier, searing improves the flavor of barbecued foods. When the surface of the meat is caramelized, it becomes crisp and develops a flavor everyone loves. Searing can be done with any meat. Beef, pork, lamb, and chicken all sear nicely.
To sear food correctly:
The surface of the meat will caramelized by doing this. If you like barbecue sauce, brush some on in the final ten minutes of grilling.
Resist the urge to open the lid while cooking on a gas grill. Otherwise, the cooker looses heat and cooking time is increased. Take your time. Turning the meat several times is fine, just keep in mind that each time you raise the lid, you add some more minutes to the cooking time.
Always be sure you have enough propane for your grill before you start cooking. There is nothing worse than a house full of hungry guests and someone has to run out for more fuel. Prevent this by having a full tank of propane as a back up at all times. This way, when you run out, it only takes a few minutes to change tanks and get the grill going again. When you have two tanks, refilling one as soon as it is empty is the best way of not accidentally running out of fuel when cooking.
