FAQs About Grilling
Gas grills need 10 to 15 minutes to preheat. Charcoal grills can take 30 to 40 minutes after you light the coals before you want to start cooking.
Brush the grate with a wire brush before and after preheating to remove the most burnt-on food particles. You can also crumple up aluminum foil and use tongs to brush that against the grate.
Use a meat thermometer to be sure the internal temperature reaches the safe minimal temperature according to the USDA Temperature Guidelines.
Make sure your grill is clean and preheated. Lightly oil the grates or the food itself before placing it on the grill. Avoid moving the food too soon; let it develop a good sear before flipping.
