Master your grill with these methods

No matter what kind of grill you may have, the same basic methods can be used to get the most out of your grill.  Before you know it you’ll be the master of your own grill!  Here’s a list of different methods to use when grilling:

Get a Clean Start:

No matter what type of grill you have, routine cleaning after each use is the key to maintaining it.  Clean grills work better and won’t leave a bad taste on food.  Before your Kenyon Grill cools take a damp paper towel and tongs.  Rub the paper towel back and forth to loosen any leftover residue.  For a deep clean place your grate in the dishwasher.

Food Placement:

When grilling, lay food on the grate in neat rows, moving from left to right.  This will help you keep track of which food got placed on the grill first.

Flip just once:

You won’t be able to achieve grill marks or accurately keep track of cooking time if you’re constantly turning over your meat every few seconds.  For a more professional look and to achieve grill marks leave your food alone until it’s necessary to flip.

Adding Flavor:

Marinating, brining, and rubs are all great ways to add more delicious flavor to the food you grill.  Experiment with the liquid placed in the drip tray of your Kenyon Grill.  Adding beer for brats and burgers, wine for steaks and even lemon-lime soda for fish.

Grilled Vegetables:

The heat of the grill intensifies a vegetable’s natural sweetness.  Before grilling lightly coat veggies with olive oil to help prevent drying out.

Time It:

Food continues to cook after it comes off the grill, so it’s best to remove it just before it has reached the desired doneness.  A digital instant-read thermometer gives the most accurate results.

Take a Break:

Let food rest before serving.  Only 5 minutes are needed for small cuts and up to 15 minutes for roasts.  This gives the juices a chance to settle back into the meat.
