Indoor Grilling 101
Indoor grilling is great for people who don’t have the backyard space for an outdoor grill, reducing the fat in your grilled foods and also for the cold winter months! Check out these tips to have a successful grilling experience:
What Can You Cook?
Flat pieces of meat like steaks, pork chops and tenderized chicken breasts work best for indoor grills. Seasoning them with a dry rub or just salt and pepper tends to work better than any type of wet marinate – this leads to a lengthy clean up and sometimes a lingering smell. Flat vegetables like sliced zucchini and eggplant will cook evenly but need to be watched closely so they don’t burn or start to stick.
Grilling vegetables is tricky, but trying to do this on an indoor grill is literally impossible unless you lather the veggies with oil – and that sort of defeats the whole purpose. Using sugar based sauces like teriyaki and sweet and sour can be tricky also. This leads to the marinate getting stuck to the plates and a lot of clean up time. Hamburger meat is best use when it has about a 15% fat content.
Clean Up
Wait until the grill has cooled off, but not completely cooled. Then, taking a semi-wet sponge, squeeze out some soapy water on the surface and let it soak for a little bit. For tough stains you might need to really use some elbow grease to get the stains off – use a sponge with a scrubber side to it and go up and down the grooves of the grill until you loosen up the stuck on food items. Don’t use any type of metal utensil to try and loosen the food – this will ultimately leave the grooves gouged out and reduce the non-stick appeal of the grill.

indoor grills are not the same…. but then again you do have the morons that will put a grill on their wooden balcony on their apartment complex and light up the grill like an idiot and then wonder why their place caught on fire lol.

I never even thought of indoor grilling, cause here in Colorado we grill even in the snow… well before I became a vegetarian and started drinkin protien shakes in place of eating meat!
