5 Indirect Grilling Tips For Beginners

The two most common types of grilling techniques is direct and indirect grilling

. Direct grilling works faster in cooking thin slices of meat, vegetables or fruits. But if you are cooking thicker slabs of meat, you would want to use indirect grilling method.

This will prevent the outer part of the food from getting charred or burned before the inside cooks properly. This way, you will not end up with burned meat on the outside but raw meat on the inside.

If you want to do this properly, here are some tips you would want to try:

1. When using charcoal grill, you should wait for the charcoal pieces to burn evenly and completely. Use a rod to evenly distribute the charcoal on the grill. Leave the center of the grill empty. That means you should distribute half of the charcoal pieces evenly on one side and do the same for the other side. Get an aluminium pan to use as a drip pan. If you don't have one, use a foil and shape it like a pan. Place it on the empty space, alongside the piles of charcoal pieces. Place the grate on top and position your meat on the center of the grate. The oil will drip directly on the foil pan.

2. When using charcoal or gas grill, close the lid or use a cover. This will insulate heat and will cook the inside of your thick slab of meat perfectly.

3. When using gas grill, turn one burner up and position the drip pan on the other side of the grill. Place the meat on the other side so that the drip pan will catch the heat. This is similar to charcoal method of grilling. If your gas grill has lava rocks, move the lava rocks close to the open burner.

4. Usually, indirect grilling will not produce the grill marks most people are looking for. But if you want the grill marks, try grilling the meat initially on the burner side and then transfer it after a few minutes to the other side and cover it. You get the grill mark and just finish the cooking process on the other side.

5. Heat builds up easily if you close the lid. Monitor your food regularly. Do not leave it unattended as it can burn in just a matter of minutes. You may also need to replenish charcoal just in case the temperature lowers down.
