Tips and Tricks on Grilling
Open your lid and turn the valve of your propane tank to on. Turn on your igniter.
Once your grill is lite, turn your other desire burners on and set your temperature. If for some reason your gas grill does not ignite, turn off everything immediately.
Always place what you are grilling on a diagonal angle. Give your item you are grilling a turn clockwise on a diagonal often. Grilling any vegetable should be at a medium high heat. Brush olive oil on all vegetables to prevent burning and flavoring.
When a recipe calls for a glaze apply to your grilling vegetable and/or meat the last five to ten minutes. Try not to skip marinades; it tenderizes meat and brings vegetables a great flavor.
Do not over crowd your grill with many items.
Don’t push down your potatoes because you will release all the juice causing it to be dry.
Make sure your propane tank is hooked up properly when using a gas grill.
Allow your grill to heat up for ten minutes, clean grates with a wire brush to remove debris. When your grill is heating up set your desire temperature on the knows before you began grilling.
Lubricate your grills surface with cooking spray, olive oil or avocado oil.
When you are finishing grilling make sure you turn off the knobs and close your propane tank.
Clean your grill when it is hot; after you prepare your meal using a metal brush or a piece of crumbled up aluminum foil. Always give your grill a deep cleaning the start of a new season.
Grilling Tool Must Have’s
Skewers can be either metal or wood. I prefer using metal for grilling because it eliminates the soaking.
Metal Tongs should have a long handle to making flipping and turning easier.
Silicone Gloves or Mitts should be heat resistance and long enough to protect hands and lower parts of the arms.
Grill Brush should be sturdy and strong. A wire grill brush is used to clean the grill between use.
Basting Brush that are nice to use are silicone and great for spreading sauces and Mirandes.
Cleaning a Gas Grill
The more your grill grates are seasoned the better grilling will become and your shrimp will taste better. With regular maintenance and care you should have a nice, seasoned grill and it will expand it life.
Preheat your grill with all burners on high. Let the grill warm up for about ten minutes. Scrub the hot grates of the grill with a grill brush.
After you are done grilling your shrimp, close the lid and leave on for additional ten minutes to burn off the food. Again, scrub your grates with your grill brush.
Herbs used in Grill Potato Kabobs
Thyme is another perennial small in size. In the spring Thyme will bloom a pretty purple flower.
Parsley has tons of Vitamin C and I try to sneak it in everywhere. This herb grows biennial which means ever two years. Very bright green in color and loves full sun parsley is something to incorporate in your cooking to detoxify carcinogens.
Basil smells amazing and it perfect to add to anything in the summertime because it adds a bit of freshness to whatever you are cooking. The light green annual herb will grow Midsummer.
Rosemary is a herb that grows year and year. Rosemary has a strong, Mediterranean flavor and very hearty.
Garlic is an herb I do not know much about but decide to learn this past fall. This perennial herb grows from a blub and breaks off into sections called a clove. I love using garlic in everything because it boosts the immune system by helping to fight bacteria and virus infections. Some research as said, that eating two to three cloves of garlic a day will help prevent heart disease.
Red Skin Potatoes should be harvest when young and are tender. The skins are thin; there is no need to peel the red potatoes.
