How to Oil a Grill (5 Steps)

Summer is grilling season, and that can mean several things to chefs who love the outdoors; smoky and tender foods, and food stuck to your grill. The process of cooking a piece of meat or fish over high heat caramelizes the sugars on the outside of the food, causing them to stick to the non-coated steel bars of the grill. Burnt food bits stuck to your grill can cause uneven cooking and a burnt, bitter taste on your food. The solution to food stuck on your grill is to oil down your grill grate before cooking anything on it.
