Don't ruin your barbecue with this common mistake.
With the flowers blooming and birds chirping, summer is around the corner. With that in mind, it's time to dust off your grill and check your inventory to see if any of your grilling tools need an upgrade.
Why should I let meat rest? Whether you like charcoal or gas, there's one common mistake that many of us keep on making at our barbecues—serving food straight off the grill. When you cook a piece of pork, lamb, or beef, its muscle fibers will start to contract and the juices will be forced to the center of the meat. If you immediately serve the piece to your guests, the meat will be dry and tough.
Some grilling experts suggest letting the meat rest uncovered, because covering causes the food to steam and can make the golden brown crust or skin soggy. I usually take the meat off the grill and place it on a warm plate or serving tray instead. Sometimes I cover the meat loosely with foil because I don’t want the meat to lose its crust but would still like to preserve some moisture instead of losing it to the dry air—choose which method is right for your own barbecue.
