View RecipeHow to ensure perfect grilling: our top 5 tips
- Preheat the barbecue: A hot grill is essential for perfect grill marks. When cooking, aim for medium-high heat.
- Oil the grates: To prevent food from sticking. Choose an oil that tolerates higher temperatures before burning, such as vegetable oil.
- Get the right tools: Get stainless steel or aluminum tongs, a long-handled stainless steel, wooden or silicone spatula, and a stainless steel bristle brush with a sturdy wooden or plastic handle. For added protection, equip yourself with BBQ gloves and an apron made of materials that protect against heat, such as leather or canvas.
- Maintain your equipment on a regular basis: Clean your grills after each use. Brush the grill when it's still a little hot, to remove residues more easily. Don't forget to wash your cooking tools regularly too. Remember to give your grills and tanks a thorough cleaning twice a season.
