List of Ingredients

To measure the temperature of your grill, simply hold your hand—a cook’s tool employed universally since antiquity—about 3 inches above the grate, then time how long you can keep your hand there before you’re forced to withdraw it:

• 1 to 2 seconds—the fire is hot and perfect for searing a steak or grilling shrimp.
• 3 seconds—indicates medium-high heat, great for most fish.
• 4 to 5 seconds—signifies a medium range, ideal for most chicken and vegetables.
• 7 to 8 seconds—indicates the temperature is low and perfect for grilling delicate vegetables and fruit.
