Tips and tricks

▯
Always preheat the grill. The intense heat helps a
crust to form quickly, preventing meat juice from
escaping.
▯
Prior to grilling, you can coat the food with heat-
resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) or marinade it. This
improves the taste. Make sure not to use too much
oil/marinade, as otherwise it may catch fire and
generate thick smoke.
▯
Don't salt meat prior to grilling. Otherwise soluble
nutrients and meat juice may be lost.
▯
Lay the food on the grill. Don't use aluminum foil or
grill trays.
▯
Only turn the meat once it can be easily removed
from the grill. If the meat sticks to the grill, this
destroys fibers and causes meat juice to escape.
▯
Don't pierce the meat while grilling, as otherwise
meat juice can come out.
▯
Cured meat such as ham or smoked pork chops is
not suitable for grilling. Unhealthy chemical
compounds may form.
▯
Make several cuts along the bone and in the fat
layer of cutlets so that they don't curve while
grilling.
▯
Remove layers of fat after rather than prior to
grilling, because otherwise the meat loses juice
and flavor.
▯
For especially crispy and brown poultry, coat it with
butter, salt water or orange juice when you're
almost done grilling.
▯
After grilling, fruit can be seasoned to taste with
honey, maple syrup or lemon juice.
▯
Vegetables with longer cooking times (e.g. corn on
the cob) can be precooked prior to grilling.
▯
Grill fish fillets on the skin side first. Coat skin with
oil so that it doesn't stick to the wire rack.
▯
Especially fish with firm meat (such as salmon, tuna
or monkfish) is suitable for grilling on the rack.
▯
Serve grilled food hot Grilled food will go tough if
you keep it warm.
▯
The grilling surface is hotter in the center than in
the edge zone. You can optimally spread the food
around the grilling surface, especially when grilling
meals with different cooking times and required
temperatures at the same time.
To do this, you can of course also use the two
grilling zones are different levels of intensity. Rule
of thumb: the thinner the food you are grilling, the
higher the temperature and the shorter the cooking
time.
