Food Tips: Grilling

Warm weather inspires us to cook on the grill. The grill's flames can develop rich, complex flavors in standard fare like burgers and chicken and in untraditional dishes, such as pizza and desserts.

Rubs and marinades are a simple, healthy way to ensure flavorful, juicy results without adding a lot of fat or calories.

Oiling the grill rack helps prevent foods from sticking to the grill.

Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods, such as tofu and fish, it is helpful to lightly coat the food with cooking spray.
