Tips
marinating
use plastic bags

rather than
metal
olive oil
in marinade
also helps prevent sticking to the grill

usually a damp paper towel while foreman grill is slightly cooled cleans it up easily

rub chicken first with lemons-helps clean it up and kill bacteria
three or so hours before cooking-rub the chicken with kosher salt-helps make it juicier-then put it in bowl in cold water-ie ice cubes for a few hours-when you are ready to grill-dry it with paper towels and go
add some flavored vinegar to fish-keeps it moisturer
simple marinades-take favorite sugarfree jam-add some apple cider vinegar-add a little lecthecin

  • buy green bananas-grill them until skin turns black-then remove peels and sprinkle with nuts,whip cream,sour cream or creme fraiche

    grilled fruit on bought pound cake,angel cake or whatever-
    slice the fruit-ie peaches,nectarines,plums,apples

    baste the fruit and grill for a few more minutes
