More Grill Advice Assemble everything ahead of time to avoid unnecessary trips back to the kitchen. Scrub rack with a wire brush between grilling and oil regularly. Use vegetable cooking sprays to coat the rack and help keep foods from sticking. Use the microwave as a time-saver. Precooking chicken parts or larger cuts of meats will cut down on grilling time without loss of flavor.
Discard leftover marinades that have been in contact with raw meat, fish or poultry.
