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\u003cbr\u003ealso have higher heat and less control over that heat. With your\u003cbr\u003eoven you can set the temperature precisely, but with a grill you\u003cbr\u003eeither turn on or light the fire and the heat will just keep rising.\u003cbr\u003eThe average gas grill can reach temperatures of 500 degrees in a\u003cbr\u003ejust a few minutes. This is why you can't throw the food on the grill\u003cbr\u003eand walk away until the timer goes off. You must remain ever\u003cbr\u003eattentive. Monitoring is the key. The high heat, both direct and\u003cbr\u003eindirect is the basis of grilling.\u003cbr\u003eYou want to use this high heat to cook the food quickly, but,\u003cbr\u003ebecause foods will cook fast on a grill, you will have to turn them to\u003cbr\u003eget them to cook evenly and without burning. Although, if you turn\u003cbr\u003ethe food too often you will just slow the process of cooking and this\u003cbr\u003ecan lead to food that is tough and dry. The trick is to turn only when\u003cbr\u003enecessary. To check when the food is ready to be turned you will\u003cbr\u003eneed to get down low, by the edge of the grill, being careful not to\u003cbr\u003eburn yourself, and lift up the corner of the meat. When the lines\u003cbr\u003efrom the grills cooking grate start to turn black it's time to turn the\u003cbr\u003efood.\u003cbr\u003eKnowing when to turn and when your food is cooked is the whole\u003cbr\u003eskill of successful grilling. The rest is just recipes and tricks. This\u003cbr\u003eskill however is also the hardest thing to teach, especially in a book.\u003cbr\u003eIdeally a steak should be turned only once. If you are cooking a\u003cbr\u003ethick cut of meat  (over 1-1\/2 inches) you may need to turn it three\u003cbr\u003etimes to ensure 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.
