Grill tip of the day.

Don't try and clean your grill after you cook. Just put that bad boy away after dinner.

Get in the habit of cleaning the grates right before you put food on, when it's roaring hot and so much easier to clean.

 

Yeah, but -- if you use propane -- roar that puppy on high for 15-20 minutes after you take the food off and char the leftover remnants....

 

What does "two parts milk, one part butter" mean? I've never understood what "parts" mean. Is it two cups to one? And is it always cups? I just let my boyfriend do the cooking.

 

Pieces is pieces, parts is parts.

It's all about how many hands high your stove is...

 

And hot-buttered corn is a great meal in itself.
