15 Must-Have Recipes for Your Next BBQ
- Soak your skewers. Soak your skewers for 10-30 minutes before you cook on them. This will keep them from cooking alongside your food and possibly catching on fire.
- Preheat your grill. Just like your oven, warm your grill before you start cooking. This ensures safe food practices and a nice hot surface for faster cooking times.
- Let your meat rest. After you are done cooking, let your meat rest. This helps the meat be juicer and more tender.
