Co., Everett, WA Lines: 30 A well-seasoned grill doesn't need oil, butter or anything else to keep the fish from sticking. Some people insist on keeping the grill looking like the day they got it, and that, folks, ruins the grill's "season" just as it ruins cast-iron fry pans. To clean a grill properly and still keep it seasoned, I recently learned this trick: -When the coals (or wood) are ready to cook on, put the grill in place, and allow it to reach cooking temp. -Now, while it's hot, rub the grill vigourously with a wad of tin-foil. It may get hot, so you can keep from burning your fingers by grasping it in a glove kept for the putpose, or else with a rag. Or let the tin-foil cool off, and do the job in bits, if the grill is extremely nasty. If you need to start with a cooler grill (as in the case of fish usually), just remove it for a few minutes, put the fish on, return the grill to the coals, and proceed. I do fish on the grill all the time, and never use oil, and it doesn't stick, either. Lately my favorite is a fish called "mahi-mahi" -- anyone know what it is? I do it either Teryaki, or with this new Japanese sauce I've discovered -- forget the name, but my is it tasty!! By the way -- lately I've been grilling fish using driftwood from Puget Sound as the fuel, and the fuel seems to add this incredibly great flavor. Can anyone confirm that salt-water driftwood imparts a very subtle, and quite delicious flavor to fish? -- Gary Benson ms232e -*- John Fluke Mfg Co -*- Box C9090 -*- Everett WA 98206 USA {microsoft,lbl-csam,allegra}{decvax,ihnp4,ucbvax,tektronix!uw-beaver}!fluke!inc |-) Inputs Cheerfully Multiplexed (-|
