Best Tips for Smoke-Free Grilling
1. Preheat Grill for Cooking Meat
You should never put cold meat on a cold grill or any cooking surface. This is a cooking tip that not a lot of people follow. The idea is to preheat the electric grill to a seemingly hot temperature and then take the meat out for cooking slowly.
Moreover, you have to understand that a faster cooking means that the meat will be able to hold moisture naturally. It is also important that the heat is evenly distributed to the surface to avoid uneven cooking. When you put your food on the grill, that sizzling sound is the hint that you are doing the process right.
2. Dry Rub the Meat
When you grill inside the house the smoke is basically caused due to the sugar content of the sauce, it burns and creates smoke. In that case you should use a substitution instead with a dry rub. Later, you can add your favourite flavoured sauce once the meat is off the grill.
3. Trim the Fat, Reduce the Smoke
When you grill, smoke will come out as the fat burns, but if you trim out the excess fat before burning them, the smoke will be minimal and you will enjoy a nice grilling experience.
4. Smoked Seasoning
That smoky flavour is what is the hero of the dish, indoor grilling is done a bit differently from the regular outside grilling, in that case preserving the charred smoky flavour can only be done through smoked seasonings. Some people add the liquid smoke to enhance the flavour although I feel it can overpower the flavour of meat.
5. Magic of Food Torch
For cooking, having versatile cooking equipment always alleviates the flavour. Food torch is the best way to copy the grilled flavour. Although, you must be careful while putting the food on fire and showing off your skills in front of your guests.
6. Cast Iron Pan
One of the best things about using cast iron is you won’t have to look for new equipment to do an indoors grill, also there’s an added benefit of heat retention property in this heavy pan which will create a mouth watering crust on the meat.
7. Good Ventilation
Even when you have applied all these ideas to reduce the smoke significantly, you must keep the windows and let the air circulate in order to keep the home air smoke free.
8. Don’t Marinade
If you have to grill the meat in house, it’s best to skip the marinade process in order to avoid the smoke. The liquid marination will cause smoke, in order to infuse flavours in the meat you can rather use dry rubs. Also, liquid marinade will cause steam that will leave your house smell that will linger in your house.
Using these tips, you can enjoy delicious grilled meat inside your house in a more comfortable space and smokeless air.
