No grill brush? Crumple a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil until it is the size of a baseball, lock in between tongs and brush away!

Direct vs. Indirect Grill Cooking - Can’t decide to use direct or indirect cooking when grilling out? If the food takes less than 20 minutes to cook use direct heat. If the food takes longer use indirect.

Caramelize more onions than you need to. A lot more—you’ll use them for your Memorial Day steaks, brats & salads and even your weekend breakfasts!

Treat your herbs like flowers. There’s nothing worse than limp herbs. Next time, trim the stems and put the fresh herbs in a Ziploc bag with a damp paper towel and stash it in the refrigerator.
