Cooking Temperature
Zucchini: Grilling
Grilling cooks food on a grate over direct radiant heat from below. The high heat produces char marks, smoky flavor, and a crisp exterior through the Maillard reaction. Best suited for tender cuts and foods that cook quickly.
Tips for success
- Preheat the grill fully before cooking — 10-15 minutes minimum.
- Oil the grates, not the food, to prevent sticking.
- Don't press down on food — squeezes out juices.
- Use indirect heat for thicker cuts to finish cooking without burning.
