Tips for Indian Grill Recipes
Start with a clean grill to prevent sticking: Heat the grill at high heat, then scrape the slates using a grill brush to remove any stuck food bits. Wipe them clean with kitchen towels or a cut onion dipped in oil. Be sure to read the detailed cleaning instructions below. Use a hot grill. The high heat will help to sear the food, lock in the juices, and prevent the food from sticking. Marinate the food for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight (except fish/seafood). This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Be careful to not exceed 12 hours of marination time as that can make the meat lose texture. Plan your grilling sequence, so the food can be served while warm. Start with corn and vegetables that can be served at room temperature and cook the proteins (chicken, fish, meat, paneer, tofu) at the end. Grill delicate food over medium heat in a bbq-safe tray or foil. This is useful for vegetables and delicate meats. This will help to prevent the food from burning. Baste the food with the marinade, butter, or sauce as it cooks. This will help to keep the food moist and flavorful.
Tips on How to Clean a BBQ Grill
It is ideal to clean the grill after each use. Here is how to clean an outdoor grill.
Heat your grill at high temperature, close the lid, and let it heat for 5-7 minutes. This will loosen any burnt food particles stuck on the grates. Turn it off and let it cool for 5 minutes. Use a grill brush and scrape the food bits off the grates. For tough debris, use a food scrapper. Now cut a large onion in half widthwise and stick a grill fork in it such that the flat cut side faces down. Spray that with oil and use it to wipe and clean the grates and season them. Alternatively, dip folded paper towels in oil, hold them with long tongs, and clean the grates.
