I seriously doubt that. Its too "out there", too preposterous to be true.

Im inclined to believe your having canned Chef Boyardee ravioli.

1. Get the Grill Screaming Hot

For steaks, chops, and burgers, hold your hand three inches above the grill grate and start counting, "One Mississippi, two Mississippi, etc." If "ouch" comes at two or three Mississippi, your grill is properly preheated.

2. ...and Squeaky Clean

Always clean your grate immediately before and after cooking, using a long-handled stiff wire brush. In a pinch, you can scour the grate with a ball of crumpled aluminum foil held in tongs.

3. ...and Well-Lubricated

Use a tightly folded paper towel dipped in vegetable oil or a chunk of bacon fat held at the end of your tongs to oil the grate before you put on the food. Or do as Israeli grill masters do: Impale half an onion on the end of a barbecue fork. Dip the onion in oil and rub it across the bars of the grate.

4. Edible Skewers

Skewer meat or seafood on sprigs of fresh rosemary (great for lamb), cinnamon sticks (great for pork and peaches), or lemongrass stalks (great for chicken, shrimp, and swordfish).

5. The Beer Bottle Basting Brush

Open a longneck bottle of beer, cover the mouth of the bottle with your thumb, then shake it. Gradually slide back your thumb and direct the resulting stream of beer on the meat.

6. The Four-Finger Thermometer

Form the "okay" sign, touching the tip of your thumb to the tip of your forefinger. The pad of flesh at the base of your thumb will feel soft and squishy — exactly the same way a rare steak feels when you poke the top with your forefinger. Now move the tip of your thumb to the tip of your middle finger: That's medium-rare. Thumb to the tip of your ring finger: medium. Thumb to pinkie: well-done.

7. Cook on the Coals

Lay sweet potatoes, onions, and even corn in the husk directly on the embers. Roast, turning with tongs, until the skins are coal black. When you scrape off the burned skin, the vegetable inside will be supernaturally sweet and smoky.

8. The Indirect Method

Solves several potential problems: Large or tough foods have time to cook through without burning. Fatty foods don't cause flare-ups. And because you measure the cooking time in hours, you don't have to worry about split-second timing. To set up a charcoal grill for indirect grilling, light the coals (ideally, lump charcoal) in a chimney starter and dump or rake them into two mounds at opposing sides of the grill. Place an aluminum drip pan in the center. (The pan serves to catch the dripping fat, while obliging you to configure your fire the correct way for indirect grilling.) Next, place the food to be grilled in the center of the grill, away from coals, over the drip pan. Close the lid and adjust the vent holes (more air, hotter fire; less air, cooler fire) to obtain the desired temperature — usually moderate (300 to 350 degrees) for roasting whole poultry or pork shoulder. The ultimate meat for indirect grilling is that barbecue icon of the Carolinas: pork shoulder (sometimes called Boston butt). The relatively high heat (higher than the true low and slow barbecue of the American South) produces succulent meat with a crackling-crisp crust, while deftly eliminating the risk of flare-ups.

A soup sandwich. When I picked up the sandwich to eat, most of the soup ran down my T-shirt. Had to wring out my shirt over a bowl to drink the soup.

Oh Nommy:-4

I love you....I really, really, really do....Thank you for the great advice. I've copied and pasted it for future reference.

I am not an adventerous eater and do not eat a lot of meat and fish....just a bit of chicken, pork and sabrette hot dogs, and of course pasta and lots of salads and some veggies....that's it.

So, I let the guys do the grilling when I have a lot of company because I tend to burn meat as I don't like it so how can I cook it right.....

Oh Kath you should practice. Do you use charcoal or gas?

Its so easy to cook those items on the grill. Just turn the flame down, put a chair nearby, get a magazine and a cold refreshing beverage of your choice then keep an occassional eye on it.

Closing the lid will reduce flare ups and cook the meat a little quicker.

Grilling is to be an experience enjoyed. Its an event.

Nomad,

I have not eaten beef, except for hot dogs, or steaks in 20 years or so ever since I dissected a chicken leg with my 6th graders and visually saw what I was eating....Chicken legs are so much like human legs.

I do like pork chops once in a while...I can eat pork and chicken easily...it's just a psychological thing:-1

I do love, love, love grilling though...

Exactly. Thats why I firmly believe that if cannibals like Dahmer had only been educated in the similarities between chicken and human legs disaster could have been diverted.
