Your next cook-out just got a whole lot better.
Next time you're cooking anything from salmon to halibut on the barbecue, try using a small amount of mayonnaise. Mayo sticks to fish better than other fats, so not only does it prevent the fish from sticking to the grates, but it also imparts a delicious, subtle flavor and keeps fish delightfully flaky and tender once cooked.
Cut an onion in half, pierce it with a long grilling fork, and use the flat side to rub down your heated grill grates. You'll see that the charred stains and leftover grime will disappear. Read more about how to clean your grill with an onion here.
Not only does the spiral trick help you grill an evenly charred, crispy-on-the-outside hot dog, but it also gives you more surface area to apply your condiments! Learn exactly how to spiralize your hog dogs, sausages, or bratwursts here.
Don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars on a pizza oven? Your grill is the perfect vessel to cook a perfect pie...even without a pizza stone.

After poaching the hot dogs in boiling water, you'll only need to place them on the grill for a few seconds to achieve the ultimate sear. These pre-poached hot dogs are seriously juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Place sliced white bread in a row to cover the grates of your grill and turn on the heat. Flip the bread after about 90 seconds and you'll see exactly where the hot and cool pockets are on your grill.
When the skewers burn it can give your food an unpleasant taste. Soak those skewers for a few minutes before making your kebabs to keep them from burning.
Because of their shape, things like chicken thighs, pork chops, and steak can cook unevenly. If you don't have a cast-iron press or don't feel like spending the money, just wrap a brick in aluminum foil and place it on top of your meat as it grills. It will weigh the meat down and cook it evenly on all sides.
Fruit tastes delicious when it's grilled and you can use it to whip up a crowd-pleasing appetizer, fresh summer salad, or a sweet dessert. Pineapple, peaches, melon, and bananas are all great options for your next summer BBQ. Try making browned butter grilled peaches with cinnamon bread crumbs, grilled watermelon salad with feta and basil, or grilled pineapple with brown sugar and sea salt.
