Master of the grill
High grilling heat produces chemicals that can cause cancer. The smoke from burning coals and dripping fat adds to the danger.
Grill healthier with these tips from the Harvard Health Letter:
- Cook smaller pieces: They cook more quickly and at lower temperatures.
- Choose leaner meat: Less fat should reduce flames and therefore smoke.
- Precook in the microwave: Doing so for 2 minutes may decrease dangerous chemicals by 90 percent, according to some research.
- Flip frequently: That way, neither side has time to absorb or lose too much heat.
