    Cleaning Infrared and Rotisserie Burners

    Hey this is Michael 'Medium Rare' O'Donnell with Cave Tools and in this video we're going to talk about cleaning infrared and rotisserie burners on your grill. Typically the infrared or rotisserie burners are going to be placed towards the back of the grill which tries to prevent the flare ups a little from trickling meat juices that fall down over the heat. Bigger chunks of meat like chicken, beef roast, lamb legs, they're going to get added taste when they're roasted gradually on a rotisserie style burner. When you want to clean the burners the most effective way to do it is just to burn off the excess grease and debris, after you've done grilling, just turn on to high for about 5-10 minutes. Then using a stainless steel wire grill brush or some other way to clean off those grates, make sure they're clean. If you've got a larger mess or some real build up of gunk on those grill grates make sure to mix some water with some lemon juice and spray it on the grill grates. There's also a cool way which we shot another video on, on how to use coffee grinds to clean your grill grates. So that's another good one, so make sure you check it out. You can also go deeper if you wanted to really remove the burner and then use a needle to unblock all the different holes, that's a great way as well for getting a deep clean on your burners. You also want to make sure you clean all the inside walls and elements. Scrub them down. There's normally going to be a residue that builds up. That's just an accumalation of carbon that builds up from the grease and smoke. Not really a big deal, but make sure to clean it with a moist paper towel and get rid of it. Next, you don't want to wait until the next time you grill, or even the next grilling season to clean up your grill. want to make sure that nothing gets a chance to sit there and solidify. So make sure to clean your grill right away. If you guys are interested in a rotisserie grill, I know we've shown a couple of models on this slideshow, but we've actually created our own portable verticle rotisserie grill. I know that's a mouthful! The big thing is that this is a portable grill that you can take tailgating, camping with you and the charcoal try actually flips up vertical so we talked about earlier when the grease drips and you get flare ups, with a vertical rotisserie grill, you don't get any flare ups. It's perfectly cooked food every single time.

    How To Cook With Herbs on the Grill Tutorial

    Hey this is Michael 'Medium Rare' O'Donnell with Cave Tools and in this video wer're just going to talk a little bit about how to grill with herbs. Grilling with herbs is really a good way to really infuse those flavors into your food. Normally when we grill with herbs we mix it with some different types of wood for smoking the meat as well. You really want to try out various different kinds of herbs as well because each one is going to give a different type of flavor to your food, and it just adds a nice twist, something different. You can grill with herbs whether you're using a charcoal grill or a propane gas grill. So you want to make sure that your grill is clean and that once the charcoal is hot enough, you can toss the herbs right on top of the charcoal or you can put them in a pan on top of some wood if you're smoking on a gas grill. A quick tip is to always make sure that the herbs are wet and that they've been soaked in water. It's just going to help them burn a little bit longer and add a little more flavor to that smoke as it comes up. Then the last tip here is really just don't be afraid to experiment. Mix and match a whole bunch of herbs together and you're going to get a very unique flavor to your food. Finally, if you want to learn more about cooking with herbs and some more video tutorials of us actually showing how to cook with herbs then definitely check out the barbecue recipe book we've put together for you down at the bottom at FreeRecipeBook.com.

    How To Clean Your Grill With Coffee Grinds

    Hey this is Michael 'Medium Rare' O'Donnell with Cave Tools and in this video we're going to talk about how to clean your grill using coffee grinds. Most people begin their day with a cup of coffee, but rarely do you hear of people actually cleaning their grill with their cup of coffee. It may sound a bit ridiculous but it's actually a very good strategy for getting a nice deep clean on your grill grates. The way it works is that coffee is very acidic and it's great at cleaning away grease and it's actually a very easy process to use when you want to clean your grill grates. All you need to do is just prepare your coffee like you normally would and then you put your grill grates into a basin with that coffee and let it sit for about 45 minutes to an hour. Go over and scrub the grill grates with a little warm water and you're done. You get an incredibly deep clean of the grill grates with coffee. It's a little more intense and a little more time consuming than a normal clean when you would use a stainless steel grill brush, but that's the technique. If you're interested in the quick and easy way then definitely use a stainless steel grill brush. We've actually put a coupon together for you over at BuyCaveTools.com, so you can check that out if you're interested in a grill brush, but I definitely urge you to try using the coffee technique at least once or twice per year for a nice deep clean.

  4. How To Prevent Flare Ups On Your Barbecue Grill

    How To Prevent Flare Ups On Your Barbecue Grill

    Hey this is Michael 'Medium Rare' O'Donnell and toay we're going to talk about an important topic and that is how to prevent flare ups from happening while you're grilling. Flare ups can be just absolutely dreadful, and they happen when the oils and fats from your food, drip on to the heat source which ultimately burns your food and just ruins the taste. One of the great ways to prevent flare ups is using the two-zone cooking method. This is especially important if you're cooking on a charcoal grill, move all the charcoal to one side, that way you hae one side with direct heat and another side with indirect heat. That way you can put the food over the indirect heat so that when the grease drops you're not heating the charcoals and causing flare ups. Another way to prevent flare ups, not as good as the two-zone method is just covering up and waiting.The fire needs oxygen flare up so if you just cover the food, close the grill top and that way you can suffocate it, and get those flare ups to go down. When you talk about making smart choices and planning in advance for flare ups, one of the best ways to do that is just cut of the fattier pieces of the meat and that way you're just cooking the leaner pieces of the meat. Fat is one of the most flammable elements and that's what's going to cause a lot of the flare ups. Personally I love the fat, and so I just use the two-zone method but if you're really trying to avoid some flare ups then it's not a bad idea to just cut off the fat and just cook a leaner piece of meat. Another way to steer clear of flare ups is to avoid basting your food in excessive amounts of vegetable oil or marinades prior to grilling. That oil when it drips down is going to cause a lot of flare ups. So if you wait til later on to do your oils and marinades that can also help in avoiding flare ups. Whenever you're grilling, it's important to stay focused, alert and attentive of what's on the grill. If you just look away for a couple of minutes and you get a giant flare up you could risk burning all the food. So always remain alert, and that way when a flare up does occur you can react and save your meal before burns. And just as a regular safety precaution it's always good to have on hand that way you can squirt out the fire if anything happens, it's just safe grilling. Finally, when you're dealing with flare ups, you need the right tools for the job. At Cave Tools we developed the 3-piece stainless steel grill set which is perfect for tailgates, backyard parties, competition BBQ. So we just want to give you this quick offer.

So we have our steak and we put it down on a cutting board and we’re going to cover it with a piece of wax paper. Some people use saran wrap, but wax paper works as well. Using the pyramid side of the hammer, we’re going to start hammering out the meat. Now the way we do this, is we start in the middle of the steak and we work our way out in a circle flick of the wrist there. Every time we hit it, you have to just whip it out a little bit and that’s flattening the steak and it’s also breaking down all the connective tissues in the meat. This makes it so much more tender and actually reduce the cooking time of the steak significantly. So that’s all there really is to it. Just work your way around in a circle, break down those connective tissues and your steak is going to be tender. And here you go, here is just a quick picture of the finished product right before we cooked the steak.
