Professional Chefs Share Top Grilling Mistakes That Are Wrecking Your Barbecue 🍔

Are you really a grill master if you make these barbecue mistakes? Here are some ways you can preserve your position at the grill.

• Be sure to preheat your grill; this prevents your food from sticking and uneven cooking.
• Even before you preheat your grill, be sure to clean it. To clean it, use a wire brush and an oiled paper towel. Keep the grill on for 30-60 minutes after removing food, then brush off the residue. Clean your grill with an onion to season it.
• Don’t overseason your meat; simply salt and pepper is enough, and maybe a squeeze of lemon juice for seafood. Keep your grill lid closed so that the grill doesn’t cool off.
• Defrost your meat, and don’t put frozen meat on the grill. Brine your lean meat. To make a brine, combine a quarter cup of kosher salt and a quarter cup of sugar with two cups of boiling water until the granules are fully dissolved. Then stir in two cups of ice water.
