We all have indoor kitchens, so does it strike you as rather funny that whenever the opportunity arises, we are quick to leave the relative safety and coziness of our kitchens to bear the elements and grill outdoors? Of course not! We love grilling and will come up with any excuse to throw a rack of ribs or a few burgers on that grill. And if our grill is broken, we are online ordering BBQ grill parts super fast!
But if you are thinking about a good reason to grill tonight, we’ll give you several.
Grilling turns the mundane task of making dinner into an awesome social event. The kitchen is the heart of the home, but nobody is ever around when you are boiling potatoes. But slap a few steaks on the grill and your kids come out of their social media comas and join the activities.
We all worry about eating too many processed foods and cooking our foods in oils that could be fatty and bad for you, so grill everything instead. You know your grilled foods are a healthier option than the boxed stuff you were thinking about making. Also, you don't need a quart of oil for food preparation when you are grilling.
Grilling is a great way to involve all of your senses. You see the succulent chicken on the grill, you smell the fantastic odor of BBQ grilled chicken, you hear the sizzling, you can feel the texture of the grill marks and you can taste the finished, mouth-watering product.
Your mouth is watering right now, isn’t it? So let's grill!
