\nNothing says summer like evenings by the pool or grilling outdoors and your Canoga Park apartment has both, so why not plan to grill tonight.  Whether you are a novice or a grilling master, these tips are sure to make your next barbecue the perfect evening out.
\nNothing says “summer” like a good old-fashioned BBQ party. It’s time to bring out the mitts and spatulas! Whether you’re a seasoned professional or grilling novice, make sure you get the best flavor by following these helpful tips.<\/p>\n

\n
1. Start and with a clean grill.<\/li>\n
2. Preheat the grill and brush on a bit of oil to help with sticking.<\/li>\n
3. Select meats that stay can hold up to the heat like chicken thighs or steaks.<\/li>\n
4. Don’t serve meat directly from the refrigerator, but it still should be cool to cold before putting on the grill.<\/li>\n
5. If you marinate your meat before cooking it, take it out of the marinate and let some of the liquid drain off to avoid too much smoke.<\/li>\n
6. Do NOT use the marinate, if you want to baste your meat with it, for safety reasons it is best to set some aside for that purpose.<\/li>\n
7. It is tempting, but turning your meats too frequently or pressing down with a spatula.  This puts stress on the meat and pushes out the flavorful juices.<\/li>\n
8. Be sure to invest in a good meat thermometer. <\/li>\n
9. Let the meat rest before serving, otherwise you will lose a lot of the juice and flavor.<\/li>\n
10. Cook vegetables on skewers or a grill rack.<\/li>\n
11. Let meat rest in foil before serving.<\/li>\n
12. Marinate your meat the night before.<\/li>\n
13. Keep a spray bottle of water handy for flare-ups.<\/li>\n
14. Use a grill rack for vegetables and smaller produce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
