Helpful Suggestions
When selecting meat for
grilling, ask for marbled fat
distribution. The fat acts as
a natural tenderizer while
cooking and keeps it moist
and juicy.
Preparing hamburgers to
order is made easier by
varying the thickness of your
patties. To add an exotic taste
to your meat, try adding
hickory-flavored woodchips
to Napoleon's woodchip
smoker.
The joint connecting the
thigh and the leg from the
skinless side should be
sliced 3/4 of the way though
for the meat to lay flatter
on the grill. This helps it
to cook faster and more
evenly. To add a trademark
taste to your cooking, try
adding mesquite-flavoured
woodchips to your Napoleon
woodchip smoker.
Trim off the excess fat before
grilling. Choose thicker chops
for more tender results.
Choose ribs that are lean and
meaty. Grill until meat easily
pulls away from the bone.
Trim off the excess fat before
grilling. Choose extra thick
chops for more tender
results.
Select the larger size wieners.
Slit the skin lengthwise
before grilling.
