  Cooking Tips

  Cook meats and vegetables in batches depending on cooking time and size of grill. Clean grill between batches if needed and lower heat to medium if barbecue sauce is burning too quickly.

  Vary the meat and vegetable selection depending on taste and availability. Pork tenderloin, shrimp or lamb chops also work well in a mixed grill. Zucchini, asparagus and red onions are good choices for grilled vegetables.

  If desired, swap in traditional Long Grain Rice.
