• Depending on the type of grill you have will determine if you should keep the lid closed or open.
• Keep closed when first placing food on the grill to maintain a good sear on the inside by keeping the moisture in.
• Once you see the grill is cooking at a speed you can manage, then you can adjust the temperature.
• Keep in mind that high temperatures increase the risk of cancer causing compounds to form, so allowing more time to cook at a lower temperature can help reduce this risk.
