That is what Be A Grillmaster will give you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Basics Of Grilling\u003cbr\u003eGrilling is just like any other kind\u003cbr\u003eof cooking, it is a learned art.\u003cbr\u003eKeep this in mind as you are\u003cbr\u003elearning. You are sure to have\u003cbr\u003esome failures. The major difference\u003cbr\u003ebetween grilling and cooking on\u003cbr\u003ethe stove or in the oven is that\u003cbr\u003egrilling is a combination of the two.\u003cbr\u003eYou have direct heat from the gas burners or the charcoal and you\u003cbr\u003ehave indirect heat that fills the grill when the lid is put down. Grills also\u003cbr\u003ehave higher heat and less control over that heat. With your oven you\u003cbr\u003ecan set the temperature precisely, but with a grill you either turn on or\u003cbr\u003elight the fire and the heat will just keep rising.\u003cbr\u003eThe average gas grill can reach temperatures of 500 degrees in a just\u003cbr\u003ea few minutes. This is why you can't throw the food on the grill and\u003cbr\u003ewalk away until the timer goes off. You must remain ever attentive.\u003cbr\u003eMonitoring is the key. The high heat, both direct and indirect is the\u003cbr\u003ebasis of grilling.\u003cbr\u003eYou want to use this high heat to cook the food quickly, but, because\u003cbr\u003efoods will cook fast on a grill, you will have to turn them to get them to\u003cbr\u003ecook evenly and without burning. Although, if you turn the food too\u003cbr\u003eoften you will just slow the process of cooking and this can lead to food\u003cbr\u003ethat is tough and dry. The trick is to turn only when necessary. To\u003cbr\u003echeck when the food is ready to be turned you will need to get down\u003cbr\u003elow, by the edge of the grill, being careful not to burn yourself, and lift\u003cbr\u003eup the corner of the meat. When the lines from the grills cooking grate\u003cbr\u003estart to turn black it's time to turn the food.\u003cbr\u003eKnowing when to turn and when your food is cooked is the whole skill\u003cbr\u003eof successful grilling. The rest is just recipes and tricks. This skill\u003cbr\u003ehowever is also the hardest thing to teach, especially in a book. Ideally\u003cbr\u003ea steak should be turned only once. If you are cooking a thick cut of\u003cbr\u003emeat (over 1-1\/2 inches) you may need to turn it three times to\u003cbr\u003eensure it is cooked through to the center.\u003cbr\u003eAs a beginning grill master you should start simple. Thinner cuts of\u003cbr\u003esteaks, pork chops and burgers under 3\/4 inches will let you get the\u003cbr\u003e\"hang\" of grilling and still get your food properly cooked. After you\u003cbr\u003ebecome experienced with these thinner cuts you can move on to more\u003cbr\u003edifficult foods.\u003cbr\u003eHere are some useful tips for the beginning griller:\u003cbr\u003eTip 1: Keep your grill clean. A clean grill will give you better tasting\u003cbr\u003efood and is less likely to cause your food to stick to the grate.\u003cbr\u003eTip 2: Applying cooking oil or spray to the grill before it is lit will keep\u003cbr\u003elow fat meats and other foods from sticking.\u003cbr\u003eTip 3: Allow for plenty of time. You don't want to rush your grilling or\u003cbr\u003ekeep your family or guests waiting.\u003cbr\u003eTip 4: Don't leave your grilling unattended for any length of time. A\u003cbr\u003eflare-up can occur at anytime and leave you with burnt food if you are\u003cbr\u003enot there to attend to it.\u003cbr\u003eTip 5: Flare-ups are caused by grease and heat.
