- Low and Slow. Keep the grill temperature at 350 F – 400 F for juicier, evenly cooked results. It may take a little longer to reach the end result, but slow and steady wins the (tasty) race.
- Veg Out. Meat might be the main course but don’t forget the veggies. The best veggies for grilling include: zucchini, yellow squash, onions and bell peppers. Season, toss in olive oil and grill until tender.
- Keep it Clean. Create the perfect grill marks and get the best results if you clean the grill between uses to avoid food residue buildup.
