- After marinating meat, toss the leftover marinade to avoid potentially making anyone in your family sick.
- Meat isn’t the only thing the grill is good for. Try grilling peaches, watermelon, or apples and top with frozen yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
- To ensure your meat is cooked to the proper temperature, eye-balling the color isn’t enough. Checking the inside temperature with a meat thermometer is your best bet. You can purchase a meat thermometer where the temperatures are built-in from Bed, Bath, & Beyond or Target in the area.
