Tips for Grilling Success
- Preheat your grill: Ensure even cooking by preheating your grill for at least 10-15 minutes before adding your meat.
- Choose the right cooking method: Use direct heat for thinner cuts of meat and indirect heat for thicker cuts or items that require longer cooking times.
- Keep a clean grill: Clean your grill grates before and after each use to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Let meat rest before and after grilling: Allow meat to come to room temperature before grilling, and let it rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Use a meat thermometer: Ensure your meat is cooked to the proper internal temperature by using a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
(Keep in mind that many of our products are fully cooked, so avoid over cooking!)
