Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Though they may be more work than a gas grill, charcoal grills impart an amazing smoky flavor to meats and veggies. Here are a few tips to get the most out of your charcoal grill.



* To add flavor to barbecued foods, place dried herbs on the hot coals. Some of our favorites are savory, rosemary, and basil.



* If the coals become too hot or flare up, squirt them with water from a mister or bulb baster.



* Store charcoal briquettes in airtight plastic bags - they absorb moisture very easily and won't be as easy to light if exposed to air.
