It may also be used for quick searing of meats, such as steaks and chops. Always use long wooden-handle forks, spatulas or tongs, designed especially for outdoor cooking when testing or turning food in your grill.

Aluminum foil is probably the most convenient accessory of all.
Foil can be used to cook food on or in. It also serves as a drip pan and heat deflector. Vegetables cook best when wrapped in foil. Foil holds in natural liquids, and foods cook moist and tender. Delicate foods such as fish fillets and seafood may be cooked on foil placed directly on the cooking grid.
