Preparing
Food
for
the
Grill
-
Always
cook
foods
adequately.
Undercooked
foods
can
retain
bacteria,
especially
if
thawed
or
exposed
to
warm
conditions
prior
to
cooking.
-
Always
use
separate
plates
and
utensils
for
the
handling
of
raw
food.
Never
place
raw
food
and
cooked
food
on
the
same
plate,
and
never
place
cooked
food
on
a
plate
that
was
used
for
handling
raw
food.
-
Always
carefully
wash
all
plates
and
utensils
used
to
handle
raw
food
before
using
them
to
handle
cooked
food.
-
Always
wash
all
vegetables,
seafood
and
poultry
before
cooking.
-
Always
leave
uncooked
foods
in
the
refrigerator
until
you
are
ready
to
start
cooking.
-
Always
marinate
meat
in
the
refrigerator.
Dispose
of
the
excess
marinade,
and
never
reuse
it.
Grilling
Tips:
-
If
you
pre
‐
cook
meat
or
poultry,
do
so
immediately
before
grilling.
-
Refrigerate
leftovers
within
2
hours
of
taking
food
off
the
grill.
-
Never
let
the
tray
boil
dry.
That
could
be
hazardous,
as
grease
from
fatty
foods
that
have
collected
in
the
tray
could
ignite
and
possibly
cause
bodily
injury
or
property
damage.
-
Use
a
meat
thermometer
to
be
sure
food
has
reached
a
safe
internal
temperature.
-
Always
trim
excess
fat
from
your
foods
to
reduce
the
occurrence
of
flare
‐
ups
during
cooking.
-
Apply
a
light
coating
of
cooking
oil
to
the
cooking
grids
before
grilling,
to
prevent
foods
from
sticking.
-
Cook
similar
portion
sizes
together,
so
that
they
all
cook
evenly.
-
Use
tongs
to
turn
foods
on
the
grill.
-
Never
pierce
foods
while
they
are
cooking
on
the
Grill,
as
this
will
dry
them
out.
-
Turn
foods
infrequently.
Some
chefs
say
that
a
good
steak
should
never
be
turned
more
than
once.
-
Apply
sugar
‐
based
sauces
such
as
commercial
barbecue
sauces
only
during
the
latter
stages
of
cooking,
to
prevent
charring.
-
Soak
the
string
you
use
to
tie
up
roasts
and
poultry
on
the
rotisserie
spit
to
protect
it
from
burning.
-
Use
a
disposable
aluminum
tray
filled
with
water,
fruit
juice,
wine
or
a
marinade
to
add
extra
flavor
and
moisture
to
slow
‐
cooked
foods
like
roasts,
whole
chickens,
turkeys
or
ducks.
