Safety Tips for the Plate:

  • Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Any cooked foods should not sit out more than 2 hours.
  • Make sure you cook to safe internal temperatures.
  • Be careful of cross contamination- keep raw meats, eggs, juices, fish, poultry away from other foods. DO not reuse plates with raw juices on the,get new ones or wash up well.
  • Wash your hands often and dry with paper towels, rather than a hand towel. Keep all your cooking supplies clean.

Safety Tips for the Grill:

  • Moderate heat will keep from charring poultry, fish, or meat.
  • Defrost and marinate meats in the refrigerator.
  • If you use a brush for the sauce, make sure you do not reuse this brush until it is clean.

  • Removing excess fat from meats can reduce grill flare-ups.

 TESTIMONIALS

Here's what our members are saying ...


"My wife recently gave me a couple of The Grilling Coach's DVDs - SOUTHERN, SMOKED, GLAZED HAM on the GRILL and REAL SOUTHERN BARBEQUE.  All the recipes are, in a word, outstanding!  The step-by-step instructions are skillfully explained at a pace that's easy to follow and understand.  I've been smoke cooking and making my own sausage for almost 40 years; and, I know my way around the kitchen.  Believe me when I tell you - you'll love these DVDs."

"Before we watched your videos, grilling was a chore for us.  But after watching your videos, grilling takes so little effort and now we grill often as we can.  The food always taste better and is better for us.  I just wanted to thank you for making us comfortable with grilling and opening an entire world of possibilities."
