Grilling Tips: Start your grill while you are prepping food, so it is up to the temperature you want when you need it. When the grill is warm, clean off the grates with a grill brush before you put your food on it! This prevents old food from changing the flavor of your fresh food! Try to touch your food as little as possible while it's grilling, to much movement can cause some dishes to dry out. Marinating meats the day before grilling will result in a deliciously juicy and flavorful product. Even just cleaning your grill once a week will greatly increase it's lifespan! Happy Grilling!!
