Guide to Grilling Meat and Poultry with the Direct Cooking Method
Grilling Steak and Ribs
Turn the grill burners on high, close the lid
and preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open
lid and place the meat on the cooking grid
directly above the lit burners. Cook the meat
on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat
to medium and cook meat until done. Grilling
times will vary according to meat thickness.
Grilling Hamburger and Sausages
Turn the grill burners on high, close lid and
preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open lid
and place the meat on the cooking grid
directly above the lit burners. Cook the meat
on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat
to medium and cook the meat until done.
Grilling times will vary according to meat
thickness.
Grilling Pouitry
Turn the grill burners on high, close lid and
preheat your grill 2 to 3 minutes. Then raise
the lid, reduce heat to medium and cook
poultry directly over lit burners until done.
Poultry skin is fatty so you should expect
some flare-ups when using this direct
method.
To minimize flare-ups, try grilling poultry
using the indirect method. Place the poultry
on one side of the grill with the opposing
burners on medium heat, and lower the grill
lid. Grilling times will vary based on the size
of your poultry.
Grilling Pork
Turn burners on high and preheat your grill 3
to 5 minutes with the lid down. Raise lid,
place pork on cooking grid and cook until
seared. Reduce heat to medium and cook
until done. Grilling times will vary according
to meat thickness.
