Simple Grilling Tips For Outdoor BBQs

Surprise Guests with More than just Hamburgers and Hot Dogs!

It’s that time of the year again and your wife has just volunteered to host the annual neighborhood barbecue. This means that you’ll be in charge of the grilling. If your grilling experience mainly consists of barbecuing hamburgers and hot dogs for the kids, don’t panic. Instead, use these simple grilling tips for outdoor BBQs to wow your neighbors with your grilling skills.

Grilling Tips

1. Preheat your grill before adding any meat. This keeps the food from sticking to the grill and keeps the juicy flavor inside.
2. To keep foods from sticking, rub the hot grate with a paper towel soaked in cooking oil.
3. Brush your sauce on the meat during the last 20 minutes of cooking time so the sauce doesn’t burn.
4. For more flavorful steaks, turn them just once when you start to see the juices bubbling on the top of the meat. If you want the meat well done, wait to flip when the juices are clear. Turning them only once also helps to keep them from sticking to the grill.
5. Before serving the grilled food, let it rest for about 5 minutes so the juices have time to distribute throughout the meat.
6. Get creative and try out new grilling recipes before the day of the barbecue. Check out DeckMAX’s Pinterest page for scrumptious recipes such as a Philly Cheese Burger, Grilled Lemon Salmon Fillets or Honey Lemon Basil Chicken.

By following these simple grilling tips and using an awesome new recipe, your neighborhood barbecue will be a success.
