cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.

very high temperatures.

cooking levels (warming rack).
6. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
7. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow
the wood manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
