Want to Be a Better Griller? Professional Chefs Say 'Do Less'
Are you struggling to achieve grilling perfection? Unlike indoor cooking, where conditions remain constant, grilling is an outdoor endeavor subject to weather patterns and seasonal limitations. Most home cooks only have a brief window each year to develop their skills before equipment is stored away for the winter months. Even experienced grillers often find their results falling short. Steaks lack that perfect crust, burgers turn out mediocre, and flavors don't quite hit the mark. The problem usually stems from fundamental technique errors that are easily corrected, once identified. Common pitfalls include excessive premature seasoning, and neglecting grate maintenance, but the blunder most home cooks make is pressing, jostling and generally moving meat too much -- a practice that can lead to tough, dry burgers, steaks and pork chops. Drawing from professional culinary expertise, here are seven frequent grilling errors and the proven techniques to overcome them, transforming your backyard cooking from hit-or-miss to consistently delicious. 1. Not properly cleaning your grill grates We have a guide to cleaning your grill, a task you should complete after every session. Taylor Martin/CNET Before you even get the heat going, consider the condition of your grill grates. Last year's caked-on proteins don't count as extra seasoning and may contribute to off flavors and textures. "It is essential to prepare your grill surface before cooking by properly cleaning it and lightly oiling it," says Brian Sullivan, executive chef and vice president of Culinary & Beverage Innovation at Red Robin. "If your grill grates are dirty or your grill surface is dry, your meat and vegetables can stick or develop an uneven sear," he says. You should preheat your grill for 10 to 15 minutes and utilize a grill brush to remove residue." Use a pair of grill tongs and a paper towel or clean cloth to apply a light coating of a neutral, high-heat cooking oil such as avocado or canola to the grates. 2. Not pre-heating properly Preheating your grill is essential for achieving that coveted crust without overcooking the meat. David Watsky/CNET Speaking of pre-heating, do it like you mean it, regardless of whether your grates need cleaning. "A cold or unevenly heated grill causes food to stick, cook unevenly, or dry out," says Chef Antimo DiMeo of Bardea Restaurant Group in Wilmington, Delaware. "You also miss out on proper searing, and it's that crust that equals flavor when you grill." DiMeo suggests preheating your grill for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid closed until it reaches the proper cooking temperature, usually 450 to 500°F for high heat. The heat will decline somewhat once you open the lid. 3. Seasoning too soon You don't need to season your meat hours beforehand as the salt may start to cure it. Chris Wedel/CNET Marinades and dry rubs can create tremendous flavor, but hold off on seasoning until the last minute for simple salt and pepper. "Only season the outside of the meat right before it goes on the grill," says Sonny Ingui, executive chef at Philadelphia's Urban Farmer. This goes for whole meats like steaks so that moisture doesn't draw out and wet the surface, but also for burgers. "Don't mix in the seasoning beforehand, or you may start to cure the meat," says Ingui, creating a texture that's more like meatloaf than burger. 4. Moving the food around too much Try to leave that meat alone until it's time to flip. David Watsky/CNET High-heat grilling is a relatively quick cooking method, but patience is still needed to develop the smoky char or definitive grill marks you want. "You need to let the food develop a crust before flipping," says DiMeo, "which usually takes three to five minutes depending on the thickness of the protein and the heat." Most proteins need little more than a single flip, plus one rotation for those cross-hatched grill marks. Resist the urge to constantly check for those marks by flipping or moving everything around. "Moving prematurely prevents proper searing, leads to uneven cooking, and increases the risk of tearing the protein or losing moisture," he says. 5. Not managing the heat correctly Not everything needs to be cooked over direct heat. David Watsky/CNET Not everything always needs to be on the highest heat when grilling. "I would say the single biggest mistake people make when using the grill is heat management," says AJ Capella, executive chef of Summit House in Summit, New Jersey. "It seems to me that so many people associate grilling with fire for obvious reasons, but this usually leads to using much too high a temperature. When people grill over super high heat, it causes the flames to flare up and makes the outside of the food char. These flare-ups cause the oil outside the food to burn, and you get a charred, bitter flavor." Furthermore, you should create different temperature zones within your grill and not rely entirely on direct heat for everything. "High direct heat can scorch the outside while leaving the inside raw," says DiMeo. Start thicker cuts or bone-in meats on the indirect side to cook through gently, then move to direct heat for a final sear." He suggests setting up a two-zone grill: one side with high direct heat, the other with indirect heat. Indirect heat refers to that which isn't coming directly from the coals or gas. It could be an upper level of grates or the side of the grill away from the heat source. 6. Using too much oil An inexpensive oil sprayer can stop you from using too much. Wonderchef Besides the light coating on the grates themselves and the natural fat in the food, grilled items shouldn't be dripping with oil or a marinade when they take to the grill, which can affect the heat and flavor. "The oil dripping off can also cause flare-ups," says Capella. If the fire flares, you should immediately move the food away from the flame. It gives off a very off-putting gas flavor." 7. Not letting the food rest Not letting meat rest before slicing it is one of the most common grilling errors. John Carlsen/CNET Animal proteins, whole meats and ground meats alike, need a moment between the grates and plates to retain their moisture and tenderness. You may instinctively do this for entire cuts, but it's also essential for burgers. "When you don't let a burger patty rest, its juices will run out as soon as you bite or cut into the burger, and the bun will become soggy," says Sullivan. When the patties are done cooking, place them on a plate or cutting board and let them rest for three to five minutes before assembling."

Flights stopped at Reagan airport in DC area because of a fire alarm in the control tower
All flights in and out of Reagan National Airport in the Washington, D.C., area came to a halt Monday morning because of a fire alarm in the control tower. The Federal Aviation Administration said the order to stop all flights went out just before 10:45 a.m. and was slated to remain in effect until noon. The FAA statement did not say whether any fire was found in the tower — just that all flights heading into the airport were paused 'due to a fire alarm in the air traffic control tower.' Reagan airport was the site of the nation's deadliest plane crash since 2001 when an Army helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet in the skies over the capital and killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft. That crash, combined with a series of other crashes and close calls since then, have stoked fears about the safety of air travel. Josh Funk, The Associated Press Sign in to access your portfolio

My obsessiveness shines during back-to-school season
It's that time of year again I sat on the floor in the closet, sifting through a wicker basket stuffed to the brim with Barbie dolls. My eyes started to get a little watery, and it wasn't from all the dust. That's a thing that happened this week. I'm not thrilled about it. We're not talking full-on tears or anything, but it was enough to get the point across. If there had been anyone around to see them, I probably could've explained the watery eyes away as allergies or contact lens problems. There wasn't anyone around. That's kind of the point, actually. The kids were back at school — two of them, inexplicably, in middle school now, and the third and last, the owner of the basket of dolls, in fourth grade, just two short years away from leaving elementary school behind. I considered letting the dog join me upstairs to tamp down the loneliness. He would've bounded up to sit right beside me (or more likely, on top of me) while I attempted to make myself feel useful and productive in some nebulous way by moving stuff around in a cluttered and neglected closet. He's also a semi-professional at licking away tears, so his presence would've solved several problems, but I'm a very strict dog owner, and I believe in setting firm boundaries. I've been thinking a lot about what matters and what doesn't lately. And by lately, I mean the last 15 to 20 years or so. Any of y'all ever do this? Nah, it's probably just me. In the age of Artificial Intelligence, I remain the most human, and therefore, the most prone to insufferable navel gazing. It's the very unique burden that I alone must bear. (Don't argue with me, please. I'm not trying to be relatable right now. I'm trying to be special, unique, one of a kind on this stupid spinning rock in an infinitesimal speck of an ever-expanding universe. I'm at that point of writing a piece where I'm prone to giving up, so abject delusion is the only way I can motivate myself to see this thing through. Thank you for your understanding.) The first couple of weeks of each new school year, it's not enough for me to clean out a disastrous closet or scrub some toilets or read a book or shop for some interesting groceries and cook them for dinner after a summer of sloth and fast-food takeout. No, I can't just do normal things, because I am a man of letters and words and thoughts. I contain multitudes, more layers than a bagful of onions. Instead of just getting on with my life and mowing the grass, I prefer to spend a lot of time obsessing over every decision I have to make, like a toddler fixating on the color of her dinner plate. It's what I'm best at. I feel like I evolved from an amoeba to this specific lifeform so I could go pro at obsessing over the minutiae of daily existence. I'm this way pretty much all the time because being an obsessive requires constant vigilance and training, but like an athlete preparing for a big competition, I like to focus my energies on reaching peak neuroticism at key transitional times of the year, like back to school, end of school, and New Year's. I'm not talking about big things here: where to live, what type of career to start at age 44, whether the bunny cages should be cleaned daily or every other day. Everyone obsesses over those. But only the universe's chosen ones obsess over things like where their kid should play basketball while civilization crumbles, if sweeping the kitchen floor is worth it in the grander scheme, and if getting the car's oil changed is really a necessity when death comes for all of us eventually anyway. Before I started excavating the closet, I asked my daughter if we could donate some of her larger Barbie items that were taking up a lot of space and hadn't been touched in quite some time. The dolls are easy to store away, but pink airplanes and boats and RVs are a bit more cumbersome. 'No.' She didn't take any time to obsess over her decision. It was a bit of a disappointment, and I was slightly exasperated because I was looking forward to making that closet empty. For some reason, it felt meaningful, if only for a moment, so I was determined to chase that high. But my daughter's response was mostly a relief because it gave me free rein to give up. I could put off the work for another year or so and table my death spiral contemplation of the passage of time for at least a couple of hours. The afternoon of the first day of school, the children returned home as they tend to do, and a couple of neighborhood friends floated our way, also as they tend to do. My daughter and her best friend were playing Roblox in the bedroom, and the friend's 4-year-old brother, who always tags along on their visits, was apparently getting bored. 'Andrew! Bailey wants you to play Barbies with him!' The friend shouted. I got up from my computer and trudged upstairs, feeling both annoyed and mildly exhilarated. I don't get asked to play much anymore. Flying a large pink airplane around the house used to be one of my primary job responsibilities, and now it's not. And while that's probably a good thing by any objective measure, it's still a little jarring. The realization causes a crisis of identity. If I'm not a Barbie airplane pilot anymore, what am I? The occasional presence of a 4-year-old in the house, once again, after all these years of not having a 4-year-old in the house, is a blessing in some ways. Most importantly, it allows me to escape reality. As long as I can pretend that I'm still a Barbie airplane pilot, I don't have to obsess over what or who I'm going to be next. It's almost impossible to obsess over questions of value and what matters when a 4-year-old is making those decisions for you. Moving the stupid plane around matters. A lot. And it always will. (Until it doesn't… but no use thinking about that part now.) So, I crawled around on my hands and knees, moving planes and RVs and boats all over the carpeted floor for about twenty minutes until it was time for the kids to head home. It was miserable and wonderful. That night at bedtime, my daughter took a victory lap. 'See, I told you we should keep the Barbie stuff. I kept it so you and Bailey would have something to play with.' I mean, it seemed a little dubious and convenient, but I had a hard time arguing the point. Probably doesn't matter anyway. The only thing that really matters is maintaining a supply of 4-year-olds to keep me and my junk closet full of toys relevant for as long as possible. Solve the daily Crossword
