Intelligence For Grilling
By John Tesh | June 19, 2007
Tonight's intelligence is for your grilling life. Sure there's a grilling life, and it's all to make you grill savvy:
Go for leaner meats- when fat sizzles on the flame, that's when cancer-causing carcinogens can form. Ground turkey and ground sirloin make great low fat burgers.
Use a marinade- research says that can help to lower the amount of carcinogens by up to 99%- even if you only marinade for a few minutes. Good marinade also helps to keep lean cuts of meat from drying out. Try olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, with a little salt & pepper.
Let your cuts of meat defrost fully in the refrigerator before grilling for the most even cooking.
Use foil- it helps to keep moisture in, especially with veggies or more delicate fish that could fall apart on the grill.
Cook your meat thoroughly- charred skin can make you think that your chicken breast is done, but the best way to be certain is with a good meat thermometer (your meat should be 145 degrees on the inside.)
