For all of you barbecue masters or masters in training, we happened upon a radio segment that unveils the 10 Commandments for Grilling according to the master behind The Barbecue Bible.
Here they are, all 10, from Steven Raichlen as told to KCRW's Good Food:
1. Be organized.
2. Gauge your fuel.
3. Preheat the grill to the right temperature, namely 500 degrees F.
4. Keep it clean; use a metal spatula and brush after pre-heating and after cooking.
5. Keep it lubricated with oil.
6. Turn, don't stab (i.e. use a spatula or tongs, not a fork or skewer).
7. Know when to baste.
8. Keep it covered if you're cooking a large cut of meat. And don't peek.
9. Give it a rest on a the (clean) cutting board for a few minutes after cooking.
10. Never desert your post.
For the full story, read the commandments or listen to the interveiw with Raichlen here.
