Cooking Tip

Direct Grilling

The direct grilling method is generally used to cook relatively small, thin, pieces of food, foods that cook quickly, and benefit from the intense heat of the flame.

Cooking Tip

Basting Brush

A long handled basting brush will keep your hands nice and cool when basting pieces of meat to keep them moist. Buy a basting brush with natural bristles, not synthetic, which can melt.
