When you’re equipped with the cardinal rules of grilling, even first-time chefs are sure to succeed. These tips and tricks from The Coeur d’Alene Resort Grill Masters will ensure guests go back for seconds.
Read on for game-changing BBQ techniques to enhance the flavor, quality, and fun of your backyard barbeques!
1. Always begin with a hot grill. Before you throw anything on the grill, warm it up. Keep the lid closed until the grill temperature reaches at least 500˚F, then barbeque at the temperature indicated on your recipe.
2. Low & slow wins the race! For more tender, fall-apart, melt-in-your-mouth meats, grill at a lower temperature for a longer time.
3. Put your meats in time out. Allow your meat to sit out at room temp for 15-20 minutes prior to grilling. This will help the meat cook more evenly.
4. Give it a rest. With the exception of poultry, always undercook your meat by a few degrees and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes. The meat will continue to cook as it rests, and this will prevent tough bites.
