Cooking tips: Simple Tips for Better Grilling via Celebrity Cruises

A couple weeks ago I had a chance to sample some of Celebrity Cruises’ grilled specialty items at a bbq in Malibu (read story here). All the guests were treated to product cards that outlined the cruise line’s custom rub recipes and grilling tips.

Grilling Tips from Celebrity Cruises

via Celebrity Cruises

• Cook marinated steaks in high heat until the outside is seared
• Don’t turn meat with a fork; the holes created will allow natural juices to escape in loss of flavor and chewy meat
• Don’t use salt in your marinades as this will result in dry, tough meats – only use salt at the moment of grilling
• BBQ and glazes should be added at the end of cooking; they burn quickly and are not used for internal meat flavoring
• Charcoal grilling sears meats quickly for a crusty, caramelized exterior and better flavor
• With charcoal, leave empty spaces to create areas of less intense heat for more control; sear in high heat, finish cooking in lower heat
