Summer is here, and it’s time to bust out the grill. Before you get cooking, there are a few things you should know about propane gas grills. Teasing out the misconceptions is essential to understanding how your grill works. We’re happy to help in that department. Here are some of the top three common myths about propane gas grills that you’re likely to come across.

Greasing the Grill Adds Flavor

While there are several differences between charcoal and propane gas grills, one myth about both is that you can improve the flavor with grease. Using a gas grill will impact the flavor of your food; it will taste savory and smoky, which is something you just can’t get with an electric grill. That said, adding grease won’t change the taste in any way. It’ll just impact your health in the long run. It also produces more smoke, making the smokiness of your food overpower the other flavors.

Searing Enhances Flavor

How many times have we heard this one? You can’t sear to lock in flavor on a grill because searing is simply browning your meat over high heat. It doesn’t enhance or lock in anything, so seasoning your food first and then searing it is a waste. However, searing does enhance the texture. It’ll be crispy and aesthetically pleasing. Searing to enhance flavor is a common myth about propane gas grills.

You Need To Cut Into Meat To Tell if It’s Done

This next myth is a terrible idea. You don’t need to cut into the meat to tell if it’s done when you’re grilling. Cutting into the meat to determine if it’s done creates moisture loss, making it far less juicy than you’d like. Furthermore, just “eyeballing” your meat doesn’t give you an accurate estimate of whether it’s ready to eat. Instead, use a thermometer to check the temperature of the meat.

Now that you understand these misconceptions, you’re well on your way to successfully grilling your way through the summer.
