Cook Like a Pro in Your Indoor Grill

Indoor grilling does not require one to be an expert in culinary, but some basic procedures if followed, will just make the grilled item more palatable. For starters, it is best to use the correct type of cut for your favorite meat, fish or poultry. The thinner the cut the better, but thicker cuts e.g. rib-eye steaks just needs to grilled a few minutes longer and/or at a few degrees higher. Also, it is important to make sure that the cut is even for uniform cooking.

Marinating the meat or fish should be the next important aspect, and that too the right way using correct quantities. Appropriate spice rubs of your choice, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, lemon or vinegar, sauce like barbecue, fish or steak sauce etc. should be used to marinade and then set aside for some time. For some meat marinade, plain yogurt is an excellent meat softener and taste booster. Apply marinade, place the meat or fish in a zip lock plastic bag and keep it in the refrigerator. The longer the marinade is allowed to settle on the meat the better the taste. The following suggestions are for best results:

Cook Steak

- Meat (beef, lamb, venison) - 1.00 - 2.00 hours
- Poultry (chicken, turkey, quail) - 30 - 45mins
- Fish (salmon, tilapia, catfish) - 15 - 20mins

When it is ready to cook, your favorite countertop or electric indoor grill should be pre-heated using the digital or analog temperature dial. Spray oil on the grill plates and put the meat or fish at an angle in the grill. If using contact grill, then the lid should be closed gently (do not press) and let your favorite meat or fish cook undisturbed. Check halfway through for grill marks and then turn it over. You do not have to do this for a contact grill.

Once done to your satisfaction, enjoy the grilled dish with your favorite side items (sautéed onions, mashed potatoes, vegetables etc.). The times below should help you estimate how long it should take for the meat or fish to cook in any type of indoor grill.

- Steaks 12-14mins
- Chicken 8-10mins
- Fish Fillets 6-8mins
- Sausage 4-6mins
- Hamburgers 10-12mins
