TIPS FOR GRILLING MEA T AND SMOKED GOODS
■ T o achieve optimal results, cut the meat into equally thick slic es.
■ T o prevent meat from becoming t ough and dried out, it is recommended not to salt
it prior to grilling it. It is recommended to salt and season the food with spices only
after it has been cooked.
■ Before grilling marinated meat, first wipe off an y excess marinade using a kitchen
towel. Certain types of marinades may have a large sugar con tent which may
subsequently burn on.
■ When grilling, do not puncture the meat so that juices do not run out of it, making
it tough and dry.
■ Do not dry out the meat by grilling it for too long.
■ Always make sure that chicken meat is thor oughly cooked.
■ Y ou do not have to prick pre-cooked hot dogs before grilling them.
