Cookin' xpress!
Speed the cleanup of a charcoal grill by covering the grill rack with heavy-duty foil, shiny side down, immediately after removing cooked food. Close all the vents and close the grill's cover. Once cooled, the rack will clean quickly with a crumpled ball of foil or a wire brush.
Great Pairings
Summer Squash Sauté
Frozen and pre-sliced yellow or crookneck squash will be more economical than fresh squash. Frozen squash remains in good condition for up to 6 months in the freezer.
