grilling, how to grill

Guys have a secret they don’t want you to know: Grilling isn’t grueling. On the contrary, grilling is easy and fun, involves virtually no clean-up and is way more healthy and satisfying than ordering take-out or nuking a Lean Cuisine. According to Elizabeth Karmel, founder of Girls at the Grill™ and author of Taming the Flame: Secrets for Hot-and-Quick Grilling and Low-and-Slow BBQ: “Grilling is 10 percent skill and 90 percent the will to grill.” So ladies, you provide the will, and we’ll help hone your skill with the following tips.

Where there’s a grill, there’s a way.
Whether you already have a grill or are looking into buying one, it’s important to know the distinction between the two types—gas and charcoal. Gas grills are great for their speed, consistency and ease of use; while old-school charcoal grills are more for the barbecue purists. (Using charcoal is more labor-intensive, but it will infuse your food with an authentic smoky flavor.) Which style grill you use is simply a matter of preference; both will get the job done.
