What will I learn in this class?

In the grilling class, you will learn what to look for when purchasing steaks, chicken, pork, fresh seafood, lamb, and other meats as well as vegetables for grilling. You will become educated on the history of grilling as well as the art & science behind grilling techniques. After completing this course you no longer undercook or overcook anything on the grill as long as you refer to your textbook that will be supplied to you at the beginning of the class. We will be cooking on charcoal and gas grills.

 

Topics we will cover in the class

  • Gas vs. Charcoal (or Hatfield vs. McCoy!)
  • Marinades, rubs and brines
  • Lump charcoal vs. briquettes
  • Why are some steaks more expensive than others?
  • What makes a steak so tender & juicy?

Gas vs. Charcoal

In this class, you will be educated on the difference between grilling on a gas grill and grilling over charcoal. We will teach you what you should look for in a quality grill and what features that would benefit your grilling style. You will learn that all grills are NOT equal and beauty is only skin deep! You will be able to select a grill that best fits your needs and you will understand how it works.

 

Evaluation of meats

You will learn how to inspect beef, pork, chicken, seafood and other meats in order to select a great product for the grill. We will teach you about the latest technology that the meat packers are using in order to offer you a premium product and where to find these quality products. You will learn the basic biology of certain animals and understand why certain meats cook differently.
