There is nothing like spending that beautiful summer day outside with friends and family enjoying a nice juicy hamburger. That is why the grill is a very popular method of food preparation. It gives you the opportunity to get out of the house as well as bringing a fun positive outlook to cooking. Pull up a chair, get your friends together and let’s talk about grilling!

If you like being outdoors then cooking on the grill will be an enjoyment. Have you ever heard anyone say that grilling food takes away the flavor and juices? That statement couldn’t be more wrong! Grilling is how many professional cooks prepare their meals. It helps to release the natural juices the food holds making what you eat a mouth watering delight.

There are so many different foods that can be cooked on the grill, from that thick pork chop to those healthy vegetables. Let’s take a look at some food options for tasty treats from the grill.

Meat options include steak, beef, pork, veal and fish. Vegetables taste great from the grill. Squash, zucchini, potatoes, broccoli and carrots can all be grilled with ease. Even cucumbers and apples make a tasty addition to meals cooked on the grill.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many options for things you can cook on the grill. Pretty much everything you cook inside can be grilled.
Another benefit of grilling is the change of flavor. Grilling can completely change the flavor depending on which type of grill, charcoal or propane, you use. There are so many options and ways to improve your meal on the grill. But what some people may not know is just how many options there really are.

The Charcoal Grill

This is the most common type of grill. It’s the sliced bread of the grilling world! The old school, always affective method of grilling’ them jaw dropping dishes. It’s quick and is always sure to bring fun and laughter to whatever  your hosting. A few negatives about charcoal is that the actual coal takes a little while to get to the right temperature, it can sometimes get messy and if you’re not a fan of the charcoal taste then a gas grill may be more up your alley.

The Gas Grill

Another wonderful effective method of preparation! The best part about gas grilling is its simplicity. Instead of fiddling around with charcoal just turn a knob, preheat and throw on the food. There are no more cleaning ashes up or buying heavy giant bags of charcoal. Replacing the need for coal with let’s say propane, is going to be a little bit cheaper. It’s cheaper only because charcoal will run out before a propane tank will. With gas you get to keep your money and keep those friends coming back for more tasty treats. If you like that charcoal taste then the gas grill may not be your preferred grilling partner. But if you’re a gas grill lover, turn that knob and you are well on your way to a for sure talked about meal!
