Why does your food always stick to the grill?
If your stainless steel cookware sticks, consider the followings:
Preheat before cooking. It is recommended that the pot or pan be preheated before cooking. Put your pot or pan on medium heat for a few minutes until the base is hot before adding cooking oil/foods.
Frying. Preheat your pan as recommended before adding oil to it. Add enough oil or butter to cover the base of your pan then add the food. After adding the food to pan frying, let your food cooked until it reaches the achieved cooking level without disturbing. As it's cooking, the food's natural sugars caramelized on the cooked surface developed great flavors and lift the food off the cooking surface naturally.
Heat Setting. To prevent sticking when frying or sauté with stainless steel cookware, pay attention at the set heat. This will vary depends on what type of stove you're using. When adding your food into frying pan, listen for a sizzling sound when it touches the pan. This indicates that the pan is hot enough and that the food is cooking as it makes contact, and that a natural barrier is created to prevent sticking. If the frying sound is more cracking than sizzling when the food initially in contact with the pan, it indicates that the heat is too high and sticking may occur.
Aluminium or copper-based stainless steel pan has good heat conduction when preheated, thus it is best to maintain medium or medium-low heat when frying.
Cooking with clean pot/pan. Sticking may occur if your frying pan is not clean. Make sure the pan is clean when preheating it before frying.
Answer
Before a pan is used for the first time or if a pan is sticking in use it needs to be 'proved'.
To prove a pan you will need olive oil and salt. Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into the pan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt all over the inside. Heat over a moderate heat until smoking hot. Carefully rub the salt and oil well into the inside surfaces of the pan with a paper towel making sure all of the surface has been worked. Remove the pan from the heat and wipe it dry.
Repeat this process twice more. Once completed, finally wipe the pan dry with paper towel.
The pan is now ready to use. If over time the inside surface of the pan starts to stick again, re prove it.

Should door of oven be kept open or closed while grilling?
A grill is designed to heat the food from one direction; I'd imagine from the top in your case. If you close the door the heat builds up inside and it just cooks the food like an oven would.
Since it is not designed to do that (ie. there's no thermostatic control), there's also a chance it could overheat and become damaged.
Some more modern grills do not need to be left open whilst in use. These use a fan to extract the hot air building up inside, and draw in cool air.
Refer to your instruction manual if in doubt.
How long do you grill parboiled chicken legs?
Lock juices into chicken on a med low heat directly over the flames for a couple of minutes on each side. Turn one side of the grill off (or only put coals on one side) and cook the chicken over no flame (indirect heat) for 45 minutes or so till internal temperature reaches 165-170 F.

Are ashes from the barbecue grill safe to apply to your lawn?
Simple answer, yes. The composition of wood ash is influenced by the type of wood that has been burned. Also the conditions of the combustion affect the composition and amount of the residue ash, thus higher temperature will reduce ash yield. Basic charcoal is produced from wood. For a long time wood ash has been used in agricultural soil applications as it recycles nutrients back to the land. Wood ash has some value as a fertilizer, but does not contain nitrogen. Because of the presence of calcium carbonate it acts as a liming agent and will deacidify the soil increasing its pH
Do you cover a smoked ham in the oven?
This depends on the recipe. Some require there be a lid and others do not. For a juicier ham place a lid on.
Can you get a fish high by blowing smoke in the bowl?
"Too bad you weren't raising Parana! Blow smoke in their faces and you wouldn't have any lips left! You'll kill the fish ... give up the joint! Actually, blowing smoke into the tank will not kill the fish. In fact, if it's an air-breathing fish (like a Betta), they often get conditioned to come up for air much more often after you've blown into the tank... they must like the feeling. Be careful about blowing too much in there, though (the fish needs to breathe oxygen)... and avoid cigarette smoke!!
Should pork chops be cooked before grilling?
I don't recommend to boil, just putt chops in the pan with hot watter(95 Celsius) and wait until water is cooled down to ambient temperature. This take a while, i guess an hour. This method provides you with juicy chops.
PS. i didn't calculate exact amount of watter per chop, but you need about 5-6 liters per 2-3 chops a 200grams.

How hot should the grill be to cook pork ribs?
Here is how I cook ribs on a webber style grill
I first put all my coals on one side of the grill and get them going nice and good.
I need put my ribs on the opposite side of the coals
It will take about an hour to hour and half on the grill to cook so you may want to look into a grill grate that has the ability to have one side open up so you can add more coals
If you do not have that type of grate what you can always do is boil your ribs before hand for about 30-45 minutes and then put them on your grill for about 30 minutes saucing them up every few minutes
Should you bake ribs before grilling?
No!!!!!
The concept comes from Eastern Europe where Poles and Czechs prepare ribs by simmering them in water with cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and caraway seed, making a very nice pork stew.
But water is a solvent. It pulls much of the flavor out of the meat, and it can make the meat mushy. When you boil meat and bones, you make a rich flavorful soup. All that color in the pot is flavor that you can never get back into the meat. Boil meat too much and water can even dry it out by causing the proteins to contract and squeeze the moisture out of the muscle fibers.
Only if the person doesn't brush their teeth....obviously :) or if the grills are just left on the teeth and (if glue is used) the glue isn't changed.
Why cant heat travel from the grill to toast by convention?
Conduction is the process of heat diffusing through a substance that conducts heat. The less conductive the substance is (like glass, air, or an oven glove), the slower the conduction is. Convection is the movement of heat that occurs when a mass of hot substance physically moves to another location. Both of these mechanisms depend on the presence of a material substance to move heat from place to place, and the efficiency of the mechanism depends on the characteristics of the substance. Radiation is the movement of heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It doesn't require any substance in the intervening space to transfer the heat; in fact, it is most efficient when there is NOTHING in the way. That's how heat reaches us from the sun.
How many people will a pound of barbecue serve?

Yes, you can do any sort of cooking in freezing temperatures, but it takes longer due to the fact that more heat is being lost to the surrounding air than if it's done above freezing. You would need to cook at a higher temperature, which would use up more gas or electrical energy.
How long to grill fresh turkey sausages?
This obviously depends on the thickness of the sausage, the heat of the grill, if the grill is electric or gas, how near they are to the heat and also how well done you like them cooked. It would be nearly impossible to give a correct answer without guessing. This is one definitely best left to work out on your own because of each persons different tastes etc. Just use a bit of trial and error, I'm sure you'll eventually grill the perfect sausage!

What can i cook on my george forman grill?
steaks, fish, hamburger, chops, hot dogs, check the recipe book that comes with the grill
In addition to the answer above, all those foods are delicious when grilled 'Au George', but you can also be a bit more creative....
Paninis or Toasties - make a sandwich as normal and place on the grill - don't grease the grill as this makes the toastie crispier. Try Ham and cheese, cheese and tomato, peaches and gammon, brie and bacon, brie and cranberry jelly, peanut butter and jam (U.S. jelly). Caution - tomato, jam, cranberry jelly and cheese get very hot!
Breakfast - Flat field mushrooms, Sausages and bacon - no need to grease the cooking plates and if you lightly spray either side of a thick slice of bread you can have a healthier alternative to fried bread too!. You can also toast crumpets and English muffins
Vegetables, a light spray of oil helps to prevent sticking for veggies - Red, yellow and green sweet peppers, halved and de-seeded, sliced onions, slices of aubergine and courgette (U.S. egg-plant and zuccini). Very thinly slice a potato at its widest part and place them on the grill - thin scalloped potatoes!
Dessert - a large banana sliced in half length ways and grilled is lovely served with some creme faiche or ice cream. Toasted muffin - slice in half length ways and grill - they go flat but are tasty! Avoid chocolate chip as the chocolate melts and sticks to the grill plates!
