WIN - $100 Visa GIft Card & Nestle Goodies

The Nestle Famiy Block Party continues today with Summer cook out hints and a GREAT giveaway -

Meat Grilling Hints:

Is it DONE? - - When you can keep your hand over a fire for three seconds, it means you have medium heat. At this temperature, most foods grill without burning on the outside. Professional chefs generally use touch to tell when the steak is done. Press down the center of the steak with your finger.

A rare steak will feel quite soft to the touch;
A medium-rare steak will have some resistance but yield to the touch
A medium steak starts to feel firm, but still have some give in the center
A well-done steak will feel very firm.

Fire it up: Prepare the fire a half hour or more before grilling. For quick lighting, use a chimney starter with crumpled newspaper in the bottom and briquettes or charcoal above. Or stack the charcoal in a pyramid shape and light with a liquid or electric starter. Charcoal is ready for cooking when it's 80% ashy grey in daylight, glowing red at night. This usually takes about 25 to 30 minutes.
