Grilled food is popular due to the speed and ease with which it is cooked. Besides the food is infused with the unique flavour enhanced by the smoke. The grill is a cooking device used for cooking the food in direct dry heat called roasting.

The heat is usually applied from below, above, sides, above and below or all around. The barbecue is used for outdoor cooking where coke is used for grilling from below. While overhead grills are used indoors in professional kitchens. The grill should be between 300- 650°F.

The simplest grill can be made by placing a grate over the flames. But today there are many models available to choose from depending upon the fuel, heat source and size. Grills are fuelled by wood, charcoal gas or propane.

The use of different woods and charcoal add a smoky flavour to the meat or vegetables. The added advantage of smoking is that it kills certain bacteria and retards the growth of others. It also prevents the fats from turning rancid keeping the food fresh for a longer duration.

Advantages of using a Gas Grill

The many advantages of using a gas grill are they heat up quickly and cool down quickly. They heat up to 3500°F yet there is little radiant heat making it ideal to use in summer and outdoors when the temperatures are soaring.

It is the radiant heat that cooks the food. Thus, many grills have ceramic plates or lava rocks as “flavourizer” bars. They are heated by the gas behaving like the charcoal minus the mess.

The characteristic flavour of the grilled food comes from the drippings and not the fuel. Thus, the flavour is produced when the drippings fall into the heat below. The sugars, oils, spices and proteins burst into flames and smoke.

Complex molecules create that flavour the food. The smoke and warm air wrap the food in an aromatic vapour that makes them such a favourite.

Another great pro of gas grill is you can walk into the house with groceries at 6.30 PM and a grilled chicken is on the dining table by 7 PM. They are also easy to clean up and maintain.

The advantage of using a natural gas grill is that it has a one-time cost of fitting it in your home. But they are safer than propane as there are leak leaks due to the hooking and unhooking. A nature gas leak is easier to detect by its smell.

The advantage of using the propane tank makes the grill portable. It has a higher BTU rating as it heats the grill faster in less fuel compared to natural gas.

How to Use A Gas Grill

How to light the grill – Open the lid of the grill. This prevents the build-up of gas in the cooking chamber. It airs it, clearing any stale dank odour and residual gas. Make sure the cooking surface is clean. Ensure that the gas is connected, locked and there are no leaks.

Now turn the value- usually counter-clockwise – on top of the tank or pipeline, to release the gas flow to the burners. Next, turn up the knob all the way on the grill and press the ignitor button. If your model does not have an ignitor use matches or a lighter. Then turn on the other burners and close the lid for the grill to prime in about 15-20 minutes.

How to turn off the Gas Grill – turn off the knobs, next turn off the gas valve on the tank or the pipeline. Clean the grate and other areas after every use. This ensures there is no food left for better hygiene. Always check your fuel gauge to note the amount of fuel left. This way you know when you need a replacement.

Other precautions – The grill area should be a kids-free zone to prevent accidents and burns. The vents on the side and back of the grill release excess heat. While the front is hazardous to children with fire, hot griddle, oil and grease splatters. Tie your hair back and do not wear loose clothes. They may catch fire or the hit griddle accidentally. Use heat-resistant gloves or mitts and tools with long handles covered with insulators such as wood.

Features to Look for on your Gas Grill

The gas grill should have these features;

Even heat distribution allows the food to cook evenly and quickly. This feature lets you use your grill for baking and roasting too. The grill should have a well-insulated hood to lock the heat in. It should have air grated for proper circulation of air to facilitate even cooking.

Fuel types – Gas grills work on propane and natural gas. Most grills are configured to use both. Yet the most common type of grills uses 20-pound tanks that can be refilled. If your home is heated by natural gas your grill can be attached to your homes gas plumbing system.

The number of burners – Usually there are three burners to achieve an even heat distribution. This configuration is usually used in indirect grilling as it is perfect for slow cooking. The burners should be made of tubular stainless steel or cast brass. These can withstand high temperatures without rusting, corrosion or tarnishing.

Grill size depends on your needs. A grill larger than 36 inches has 4 burners.

Stand-alone or built-in grills – A standalone is fitted onto a cart or a stand. While the built-in grills are constructed into a kitchen counter or island to give a seamless integration into the decor.

A side burner can be used to cook the sauce and keep it warm.

An infrared burner can be used to sear meat and caramelize vegetables and fruits. The ceramic grate can heat up to 1300°F.

Rotisserie is a classic way of grilling meat.  It bastes the meat, melts out the fat facilitating cooking and tenderizing of the meat while browning the exterior. The meats off the rotisserie are succulent on the inside and crisp on the outside. A spit is included with most models which are turned by a motor to cook the food evenly.

Heat diffusers are metal barriers that allow the heat through but prevent the juice and fat from hitting the flames. The best ones are made of stainless steel they not only withstand high temperatures but distribute heat evenly vaporizing the drips on contact.

Lava or ceramic briquettes absorb heat and remain hot for longer. They heat up slowly and cook the food slowly enhancing its flavour.

The grate can be made of stainless steel or porcelain-coated iron. The cast iron ones retain more heat than the steel ones and leave distinct sear marks. The porcelain coating is also non-stick if the meat is seasoned correctly.

An electronic igniter is a push-button starter that lights up the gas burners.

A fuel gauge monitors the amount of fuel left in the propane tank.
