Grilling tips?

• Perfecting Meat Marinades: When marinating meat, always refrigerate it (do not marinate at room temperature) and avoid using metal containers, as acids can react. For optimal flavor, marinate for 3 hours, but 1-8 hours is acceptable. Never reuse marinade after it has come into contact with raw meat.
• Preheat the Grill : Make sure to preheat your grill so it’s hot and ready to cook the food immediately. This also helps loosen any stuck bits of food.
• Sear Meat : Start by searing your meat over an open flame. Once it’s seared to your liking, move it to indirect heat to finish cooking.
• Close the Lid : For thicker cuts of meat, close the lid while cooking. This allows the grill to act like an oven, ensuring the center cooks properly.
• Let it Be : Resist the urge to poke or flip the meat too often. Flip it only once to allow each side to form a nice caramelized crust.
