Grill Marks

I know it’s still not warm enough to fire up the grill, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make believe. To get revved up for summertime, I suggest purchasing a simple grill pan and taking a moment to learn how to make perfect grill marks.

First things first, heat up your grill pan and brush it with a little oil—any kind will do. Next, place your meat/ poultry/fish/sliced vegetable of choice on the pan, preferably all lined up. Leave the food on the grill for a few minutes; do not move the pieces around or fuss with them.

Then, carefully using tongs, turn the food a quarter turn—this is the key! This results in that fantastic crisscross affect that will make you look like a pro and remind you of an outdoor BBQ. Remember to flip the food and repeat the process on the other side.
