Grilling Tips from Crisco

To kick off grilling season, Crisco.com is showcasing new recipes and how-to video tutorials to help answer all your grilling questions. Whether you are looking to try new grilling recipes or for helpful tips to prevent food from burning or sticking to the grill, the experts from Crisco® can help.

We have an ancient charcoal grill that takes forever to heat up, but it’s better than none I suppose. I wish my husband would buy a gas grill so we could have more options for grilling food! I’d love to be able to grill veggies and make pizza on the grill.  With the grill we have, we like to do burgers and hot dogs, and we also light a small fire in it sometimes to toast marshmallows for S’mores!

No matter what kind of grill you have, it’s a great way to cook without heating up your kitchen. Here are some helpful tips:

• Always spray cool grill rack with Crisco No-Stick Cooking Spray before heating grill so that food will not stick. Remember to never spray a hot grill.

• Make sure you have the right equipment and a clean grill prior to igniting the grill

• Coat meat and vegetables with a light coat of Crisco Olive Oil to help your favorite seasonings adhere while grilling. Try using black pepper, kosher salt and a touch of lime or lemon juice.
