Sometimes, you may find that you can actually grill dessert as well! Slice a pear or apple in half, brush the fruit with a mixture of butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar, wrap in tinfoil, and place on the grill over low heat for 15-25 minutes. You can even prepare this to cook after you’ve removed your main course from the grill for a nice and tasty dessert!

Make sure you have all the necessary tools for the type of grill you are using. If it is an open-fire grill, make sure you have enough firewood to keep the flame going. If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure you have plenty of charcoal (and lighter fluid if you are not using self-starting briquettes). If you are using a gas grill, make sure you have plenty of propane. Also make sure you have the proper accessories, such as heavy gloves, oven mitts, tongs, and basting brushes. It is also a good idea to keep a spray bottle filled with water nearby, to help control flare-ups that may be caused by grease dripping off the food that is being grilled.

The two most popular grilling methods are using direct heat and using indirect heat. Direct heat is a good method for cooking thinner foods, as this will cook the food quickly and evenly. Thicker cuts of meat are best cooked using indirect heat, as this will ensure that the exterior of the food does not burn before the interior of the food is thoroughly cooked. If using indirect heat, you may first wish to sear the meat over direct heat to assist in sealing in the juices of the meat. You should also keep the lid to the grill closed if using indirect heat, as cooking with an open lid will add about ten to fifteen minutes of cooking time.

If grilling fish, it is a good idea to use a grill basket, as fish flakes easily and pieces may break and fall through the grill grate otherwise. If you do not have a grill basket, you can wrap the fish in aluminum foil, but first spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray. You may also wish to keep lemon juice on hand if you are grilling fish, as basting this onto the fish will help to keep it from drying out and to add to the flavor.
