Tips for using and maintaining your gas grill
Gas grills are becoming increasingly popular because they are easy to start, they heat up quickly and there is no mess associated with charcoal and ashes which need to be cleaned after use. They are also eco-friendly and comply with regulations that some areas have on using charcoal grills.
Here are some of the tips for making the out of your gas grill and for ensuring that it serves you for a long time.
Starting up the gas grill
This is a pretty simple action, but to be on the safe side always take the time to read the manual you receive with the grill before starting to use it.
Overall, the steps for starting are pretty straightforward.
Always ensure that the grill lid is open before proceeding to start it up because this will prevent the accidental buildup of gas in case the ignition doesn’t work.
Then open the valve of the gas tank slowly and give it a few seconds. After that, you can press the ignition button, or turn the knob, depending on the type of gas grill you have.
If your grill has individually controlled burners, proceed to turn on the others by using the same method. If you are switching on a nearby burner, you don’t need to use the igniter, just turn the knob or press the button.
If for some reason you have to start the grill manually, always open the lid fully before proceeding. Turn the knob of the burner you want to light and use a burning match in the hole located next to the burner.
Cooking on a gas grill
Make sure your gas grill has fully heated up before adding the food for the best results. Turn on the burners, close the cover, and wait for the cooking surface to fully heat up, which should take 10 to 15 minutes. Numerous of them come with built-in thermometers on the lid, allowing you to monitor the pre-heating temperature without having to open the lid or use any guessing.
Once it has warmed up, examine the grates for dirt and use a grill brush to clean them.
Burgers or other foods are less likely to stick to the cooking surface when the grates are thoroughly cleaned and heated.
Take the time to clean the grates and cooking surface after each grilling session to ensure consistent outcomes and top-notch meals every time. By doing this, you may improve the flavor of your cuisine and avoid unintentional flare-ups.
Making sure there is enough free space on the grates between the food you are grilling will help if you are having flare-ups during cooking. Simply shift the food to the vacant spot and let the fire to extinguish if there is a flare-up.
Do not give in to the need to repeatedly open the cover during cooking to ensure optimal cooking and doneness temperatures. Part of the heat will leave every time you open it, slowing down and perhaps causing uneven cooking.
Take use of the different heating zones. Some goods, including entire birds, huge meat chunks, and some vegetables, require more time and lower temperatures to cook. In this situation, you ought to cook indirectly.
As for grilling burgers or steaks, choose direct heat cooking over the burners in order to get those beautiful sear marks and a wonderful taste.
If you have a gas grill that has several burners that can be controlled individually, you can create hot and warm cooking zones to cook different types of food at the same time.
In case you miss the smoky flavor of your food that comes with charcoal grilling, you can still achieve a smoky flavor with your gas grill by using wood chips or if your grill has one – the dedicated smoker burner.
Also, don’t forget to use the nifty warming rack, if you have one. You can warm up the buns for your burgers and even cook delicate foods on these nifty racks.
Last but not least, keep an eye on the level of gas in the tank in order to ensure that you don’t run out of fuel in the middle of a cooking session. Some of the gas grills on our top 10 list for 2022 have handy gas tank gauges which will display the fuel level at all times.
