Cooking Tips For Gas Grills


How to Use A In Simple Laymen Terms

Gas grills can be tricky and a little scary for the novice “Grill Master”… I suggest starting with learning the grill itself. Most gas grills are sold in stores where they have a unit on display and an “intelligent” salesperson who can walk you through the features of your grill. Have them tell you all the functions of the knobs and where to hook the gas up as it can be a very dangerous if you don’t hook it up correctly and then go to light the grill.

Tell them to show you all the necessities you need to be successful in learning how to use a gas grill properly. In most cases, you can have the grill assembled right there and then all you have to do is hook up the propane (gas) tank to it and get started. Just make sure to double check the gas tank where you hook it up to the grill. Be sure it is screwed on even and tightly so as not to have any gas leaks. Most grills have an ignite switch so you don’t have to worry about a long match or lighter either. (Although I keep one on hand just in case!)

Once you have all that established and you are ready to go, you need to decide what you would like to grill first. I personally think steaks are one of the easiest and least time consuming meats to grill. When you cook steak on a gas grill you may want to do a little prep work to help it along. You can start by marinating your steak in something flavorful that you like.

Some folks use a prepared marinade, some make their own. Either way it gives your steak a great flavor and keeps it from drying out and tasting like an old shoe! (Not a good experience either by the way. The “shoe syndrome” can really ruin the potential of a future Master Griller!) Then as always you should prep your grill a little too. I do this by spraying Pam for (sold in most grocery stores) or by wiping the grill grate with a nice lint free cloth coated with a bit of olive oil.

Once you have mastered your first grill party, you will never want the old humdrum stove again! There are so many things you can do on a gas grill your only dilemma will be what to try next. You can skewer (meat on a stick) some chicken, pork, shrimp or scallops with some fruit, onion and peppers. Or you can skewer some beef, peppers, onions and mushrooms. Or you can just grill old fashioned BBQ chicken. That is still a prized entre, let me tell you!

Pick up a book of cooking tips for gas grills. There are a million cook books out there for the novice griller all the way up to the master griller. You can even keep the vegetarians in your family happy by skewering or grilling veggies like corn, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, onions and all kinds of other wonderful things!

Cooking guides for gas grills are available all over the Internet or in most libraries or book stores to help you get started. You only have to decide what you want and how you want it. In most cases, gas grills come with both a manual on assembly and parts as well as a guide to cooking on the grill already included.

So go on now… Get started showing your SKILLS! You will be the talk of your family once you master grilling. But be careful… if you are too good, you will always be asked to play grill chef! ;-)

Grilled Chicken and Vegetables Packets


I like this recipe because I live alone and can make up several packets at a time to freeze when there’s a bulk sale of chicken to take advantage of at a low price and, other than tossing a salad, each packet is a full meal for me :-)

What To Grill:

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts or leg quarters
  • 2 bell peppers cut into strips
  • 1 lb. red potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce of choice
  • 1 Tbsp. orange juice

It:

Place each in to the center of a foil packet. Divide bell peppers and potatoes evenly over chicken breasts. In small bowl, stir together barbecue sauce and orange juice. Pour evenly over chicken and vegetables. Double fold packets closed. Place packets, seam side up, on the rack of a grill. Grill 30-45 minutes until vegetables are tender and meat thermometer inserted in to the thickest portion of chicken reads 160F and juices run clear.

Using the latest technology, this digital thermometer offers a remote system for checking the temperature of your food so you can stay clear of the heat. Simply place the meat probe into the food and select the doneness setting you prefer.Weber Style 6438 Professional-Grade Barbecue Beeper Digital Thermometer

How Do You Cook Hamburgers On A Grill?


Dont you just love the flavor of a juicy fresh ? I know I do!

It is summer time No matter if it is fun in the park, fun at the beach, fun at the lake or fun by the pool at Grandmas house, we all want to picnic and have a good time. And the most popular of picnics include one of the many choices of hamburger recipes for the grill!

So how long do you cook hamburgers on a grill? What are good hamburger recipes for the grill? All great questions my friend! First things first though. You will want to get the grill ready. Go ahead and light up the charcoals, pop on the gas, or throw on the wood Regardless of the method you use it needs to get hot and ready! What is important is nailing how long you cook hamburgers on the grill. Nothing ruins the fun more than a dry hockey puck you could choke on before you get to savor the flavor! Yuck! Did I mention YUCK?

There are several ways to keep this from happening so don’t despair. I like to patty out my burgers in a nice thick to inch patty. But before I do I like to doctor it up a bit. I add a little salt, pepper, adobo (for all of my Spanish friends), garlic powder or fresh garlic, some Worcestershire sauce and a touch of A-1 sauce. This adds a little kick to the flavor. I also find that it helps the hamburgers stay moist. Once all that is completed, doctor your grill a little. I brush a little olive oil on my grate to help keep them from sticking and I brush a little bit on the outside of my hamburger patties before I place them on the grill.

You need to be sure your grill is hot, but not too hot otherwise they will cook too fast and be done on the outside much faster than the inside. Then you have the whole new problem of burnt burgers! Not fun either! Once you place them on the grill you can leave them for about 10 minutes to go and cut up some nice onion, tomato and pickle slices. Put out your cheese, mayo, ketchup and mustard You want to have great condiments to put on your hamburger. And once done, those kids will go through them faster than you can get em ready!

So how long do you grill your hamburgers for perfection? I usually try and flip mine around 10 to 12 minutes, sometimes sooner It depends on how hot the grill is and how fast they are cooking, so keep a careful eye on them. Once both sides are good and even, test them with a meat thermometer to be sure they are cooked well. bacteria is so dangerous these days and when you are out on a picnic with beef, you want to be extra careful! The normal temp should get to at least 160 degrees. And then if you have friends who like them a little medium or medium rare, you have done your best to give them delicious AND healthy burgers.

Oh, and one of my favorite hamburger recipes for the grill are the all out gourmet burgers. This is for when you are home grilling and can get creative. Take a little bit of red wine some for the ingredients of the burger, (some for you!), some for the sauted onions, garlic and mushrooms, (some more for you!) and oh yeah some for your guest! Then serve your burger with a nice aged Swiss cheese and Kaiser or Onion roll, some mood music and candle light WOW, you wont be disappointed! ;-)

How To Grill Properly


Chicken, Shrimp, Fish Pork Loin or Steak is just like any other kind of cooking, it is a learned art. Keep this in mind as you are learning.

You are sure to have some failures. The major difference between and cooking on the stove or in the oven is that is a combination of the two.

You have direct heat from the gas burners or the charcoal and you have indirect heat that fills the grill when the lid is put down. Grills also have higher heat and less control over that heat.

With your oven you can set the temperature precisely, but with a grill you either turn on or light the fire and the heat will just keep rising.

The average can reach temperatures of 500 degrees in a just a few minutes. This is why you can’t throw the food on the grill and walk away until the timer goes off. You must remain ever attentive. Monitoring is the key. The high heat, both direct and indirect is the basis of grilling.

You want to use this high heat to cook the food quickly, but, because foods will cook fast on a grill, you will have to turn them to get them to cook evenly and without burning. Although, if you turn the food too often you will just slow the process of cooking and this can lead to food that is tough and dry. The trick is to turn only when necessary. To check when the food is ready to be turned you will need to get down low, by the edge of the grill, being careful not to burn yourself, and lift up the corner of the meat. When the lines from the grills cooking grate start to turn black it’s time to turn the food.

Knowing when to turn and when your food is cooked is the whole skill of successful grilling. The rest is just recipes and tricks. This skill however is also the hardest thing to teach, especially in a book. Ideally a steak should be turned only once. If you are cooking a thick cut of meat (over 1-1/2 inches) you may need to turn it three times to ensure it is cooked through to the center.
