Whether you are a seasonal griller or a year-round griller, it is never a bad idea to brush up on your food safety and nutrition tips.
1. Buy a food thermometer and use it!
2. Clean your grill with hot, soapy water and remove any charred debris or grease build up after each use.
3. Be cautious during food preparation, and clean equipment and utensils between uses to help prevent foodborne illness from cross-contamination. Don’t forget to always wash your hands!
4. Marinate meat in the refrigerator, and be sure to clean up properly after.
5. Avoid eating burnt or charred food as these foods have been shown to increase a person’s risk of disease.
6. Be mindful of fat by choosing leaner cuts of meat or plant-based protein options.
7. Consider grilling vegetables as a flavor-filled and nutritious side dish.
8. Try combining grilled fruit and yogurt to craft a delicious and nutritious dessert.
9. Watch the clock, so food can be properly stored.
10. Bring a cooler or bucket of ice to store condiments.
