How can I keep flair ups down?
I love to grill...we have a gas grill...but I always burn the outside...I tried turning the heat down...using foil...ect...but it always flairs up on me...I want to do some steaks tonight any ideas???
Answers:
use the grill to colour them once they have a nice crust formed and before they burn put them in a pan on the grill the pan will stop the fats burning and you can even use any of the juices that come into the pan as a base for a quick sauce. I pan fry on the grill all the time - its the only way to prevent the heat from dictating the foods condition - that's the chefs job!
clean out the grill, i mean totally over haul it, the less grease you have on the inside the less likely you are to have a flare up
There is a very simple solution to this and it works well.
Get a spray bottle and fill it w/ water, anytime you see a flare up just give the coals a quick spray, but not too much, you don't want to put it completely out. I know this works because this is what I do.
Keep a spray bottle of plain water with you as you grill. When you get a flame or two just spritz, this works well.
