Guide to Grilling
Grilling brings us back to the primitive origins of cuisine and provides an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, friends and fine food all at once. Historically, the grill or fire pit has held an important place in virtually every country and culture. In our busy, modern lives, grilling celebrates the delightful simplicity and naturally bold flavors that whole food provides, and allows us to explore flavors of the world without leaving our own backyards.
Methods & Techniques
Most backyard grills are either charcoal or gas, and the particular technique you use to grill may depend a little on which type you own.
Beef & Pork
The appropriate heat level and cooking time are crucial for grilling meat that is tender and juicy.
Poultry
Whether you choose chicken, duck, turkey or game hen, marinate your poultry or try a dry rub ahead of time to maximize flavor.
Seafood
When grilling seafood take extra care not to overcook it. Generally speaking, it is best to select lighter-tasting marinades and seasonings that do not mask the delicate, natural flavors of most seafood.
Veggies & Fruits
Produce is a natural match for the grill, which intensifies the natural sweetness and flavor of most veggies and fruits.
Meat Substitutes
Tofu, tempeh, veggie dogs, veggie sausage and veggie burgers all taste great when cooked on the grill.
Making Grilling Special
Whether you're a fan of veggies and fruit, poultry, beef or pork, meat substitutes or seafood (or all of it!) all it takes is a little flavor and the right technique to make grilling special.
