Chef Carla’s Grilling Pro Tips: ⁣

1. Clean the grill grates BEFORE you turn on the grill.⁣


2. Oil the grates (I use avocado oil because IT has a high smoke point.) You can also use cooking spray, if you prefer.


3. Turn the grill on and let it heat up (this will depend on if you have gas or charcoal). ⁣


4. Brush or toss whatever you are grilling in a little oil, so that you get nice grill marks/char and it doesn’t stick.
