Oil your grill grate

A well-oiled grill grate will last for months, if it not years, while you cook. Oil prevents food from sticking to grates which can lead to flare-ups. The oil will also prevent rust stains from your grill. Here are some simple ways to oil the grill grate.


Clean your grill grate to remove any natural flavors that may have developed over time. It will also make seasoning easier and lasts longer. Next, coat the grates with high heat cooking oil. Coconut oil, peanut oil, and canola oil are all good options. You can also use vegetable oil spray-cans. Let the oil drip onto a grate for 20-30 minutes, or until it turns brown.

Do not allow carryover cooking

Carryover cooking, which is the transfer of heat from one place to another in food, is something you probably know. This problem affects not only food but also non-food items like hot rocks. You can avoid this by allowing the food cool down before you place it back on the grill. But you cannot avoid it completely. These tips will help you avoid it if you don't know what to do.

The most obvious way to prevent carryover cooking when grilling is to rest your meat properly. After the meat is removed from the barbecue, its temperature will increase. This means that it will need to be restrained for 5-15 minutes. Resting the meat allows the juices to distribute. The longer the resting time, the better. A longer resting time is better for larger pieces. You'll need to follow these steps for each dish.
