Our very best grilling tips 'n tricks, recipes, and more are all right here... You might want to bookmark this one!



Hungry Grill 101

Making kebabs and using wooden skewers? Soak the sticks in water for 20 minutes beforehand so they don't catch on fire. Good (and important!) to know.

Prior to firing up the grill, use a grill brush to scrub the grate free of charred bits. Remove the grate, and spray it well with nonstick spray. This will reduce the chance of your food sticking and eliminate the need to add a lot of oil to your food.

Speaking of nonstick spray, always apply it to the grate before lighting the grill, even if it's just a spritz. (We're not fans of giant flames.)

Have a large unused plate ready to place your food on once it's cooked -- if you brought out raw meat, putting your food back on the same plate is a big NO-NO.







Appetizers and Side Dishes

BBQ Veggie Pasta Salad - This isn't just any old pasta salad to accompany grilled eats... There are grilled veggies in this scoopy salad!

Foil Packs, Grill-Style!

When it comes to cooking HG foil-pack recipes on the grill (instead of in the oven), stick with this formula... Grill for about half of the time given in the recipe, grill cover down, according to this nifty temperature conversion info:

375 degrees in oven = medium heat on grill
400 degrees in oven = medium-high heat on grill
425 degrees in oven = high heat on grill
And now, the recipes!

Jump for Choy! Fish Pack, Mega-mazing Veggie Pack, and Cha-Cha-Cherry BBQ Chicken Pack - You might not think of these as "on the grill" recipes... but foil makes grilling 'em totally possible!
