TIPS FOR OUTDOOR GRILLING Before Grilling ■ Thaw food items before grilling. ■ Lightly oil the grill grates or the food when cooking low-fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts. ■ Using too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food. ■ Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to reduce flare-ups. ■ Make vertical cuts at 2" (5 cm) intervals around the fat edge of meat to avoid curling.
