grilling guide
The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times are meant to be guidelines. Factors such as altitude, wind, and outside temperature
can affect cooking times. Two rules of thumb: Grill steaks, fish fillets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables using the direct method for the
time given on the chart (or to the desired doneness), turning food once halfway through grilling time. Grill roasts, whole poultry, bone-in poultry
pieces, whole fish, and thicker cuts using the indirect method for the time given on the chart (or until an instant-read thermometer registers
the desired internal temperature). Cooking times for beef and lamb use the USDA’s definition of medium doneness unless otherwise noted.
Before carving, let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. The internal temperature of
the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degrees during this time.
