Tips for grilling
• Grilled meat will become more tender if you marinate it before cooking.
Marinades generally include some oil (to moisten), vinegar or wine (to
tenderise) and seasonings (to flavour).
• Always use tongs or some form of heat-resistant scoop to turn the grilled food
over. Using a fork to turn the food will dry it out and damage the non-stick
coating.
• Only turn meat and fish once during grilling. You do not need to turn it more
than once, and too much turning dries food out.
• Never cook meat for too long. Fast cooking cuts of beef, lamb, even pork are
more juicy and tender when they are still a little pink inside.
• If cooked food sticks to the grill plate, rub the plate with a piece of kitchen
paper soaked in oil from time to time.
