Quick Tips from the Crisco® Grill
- 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.
- Use long handled tongs — not a meat fork — to turn meats on the grill.
Forks can pierce the meat, releasing the juices (and flavor!) from your food.
- Check meats for doneness with an instant-read meat thermometer.
- Always let grilled meats rest 10-15 minutes before slicing or serving for the juiciest
results.
- Cook vegetables sprayed with Crisco No-Stick Cooking Spray in foil
packets or directly on the grill. Season with salt and pepper and your favorite
blend of spices or fresh herbs.
- Try grilling corn right in the husk. Remove the silk, but not the husk, and then
soak for about an hour in a sink or bucket filled with cold water. Shake off excess
water before placing on a hot grill. Cook for about 25 minutes, turning three or
four times. Serve in the husk with plenty of butter and salt.
- What's the first thing to go at any get-together? The shrimp! Our Grilled Shrimp
Bruschetta will be the hit of any party! Try tossing the shrimp and tomato mixture
with pasta for a quick and easy supper.
- Cooking beef kabobs? Avoid flare-ups on the grill by soaking wooden skewers in water
for at least 30 minutes before threading on the beef.
