The Summer is now upon us, and we have plenty of barbeques to look forward to. If you are new to grilling, or even if you are a veteran, there are likely some safety concerns that you aren't aware about. Keeping you and your family safe of disease or illness should be a top priority when grilling.
The preparation of the meat before grilling is where most mistakes are made. Preparing meat can involve many different variables. If you don't plan to marinade the meat, you should grill it as soon as possible. Most types of meat will only be able to be cooked for several days until they go bad- unless you take measures to preserve the meat with extremely cold temperatures.
Use a clean cutting board when slicing your meat to perfection. If you have different types of meat, such as beef and chicken, you should either use separate cutting boards or wash the one you have with warm soap and water before cutting up the next type of meat. Be very sure to keep other items such as vegetables away from the board.
The way you eat now will have a large effect on your body years from now. It is best to eat lean and get plenty of exercise, as doctors will undoubtedly tell you. Red meat has a bad reputation for being loaded with fatty content, but you can cut down on this fact by slicing out any visible fat regions. This prevents fat from grilling into the meat or being consumed directly.
Oddly enough, grilling your steak over a flame is a bad idea. Some grilling experts believe that it is necessary for sealing in flavor, but if done incorrectly it can char the steak. Char is known to be a carcinogen if consumed in moderate quantities. It is best to steer clear from the substance as best you can, which would include cutting out char or keeping steak away from a direct flame.
Above all else, make sure you have cooked the meat well enough that you won't have to worry about eating raw meat. The surest method of becoming ill is to eat meat that has not been cooked all the way through. Use a knife to gently cut into the meat and note its color. Also use your thumb to measure the texture of the meat. It's better to slightly overcook than undercook your family's meal.

A cookbook may have more tips for your grilling endeavors. If not, consult a parent or a close friend to show you the ropes in grilling meat to perfection. Learning things on your own is plausible, but you are more apt to make mistakes and risk certain dangers.
