Quick Tip: Grilling With Emeril

"GMA" helps you be the "master of the grill" this summer.

July 23, 2010— -- Do you want to learn how to become master of the grill this summer? On "GMA" I showed you how to grill your way to a successful summer barbecue.

Start with a clean grill. Keep it clean by brushing with a wire brush after preheating, and again after cooking.

Make sure to oil your grates and your food before putting it on the grill to keep it from sticking.

When in doubt, use an instant-read thermometer to test for doneness, and rely on it more than any specified cook time.

Once your meat is cooked and ready to serve, you can add extra zing and flavor with my barbecue sauce. CLICK HERE for the recipe.

To truly be "master of the grill," you need to know how to grill a great steak. Check out some of my favorite recipes.
