Meat is not the enemy- just don’t burn it. The research is not in dispute here. Charred, burned meat does contain known carcinogens (HCA’s and PAH’s) but there are plenty of ways to off-set them. Grill food to goal temps, avoid too much open flame or grilling too well done. Grilling faster can also reduce the amount of char.

Eat more vegetables. A balanced diet consists of vegetables, fruits, and meat. Grilled vegetables contain counter-balancing antioxidants that research shows neutralize carcinogen formation and works to counter-act it. Research points to this neutralizing effect with the use of herbs and spices too. Visit our Healthy Grilling Page.

Grill more kinds of vegetables. No butter or calorierichsauces required. Sweet potatoes, beets, carrots and squash caramelize at grill temps letting the natural sugars deliver the best and tastiest flavor. Grill peppers, onions, zucchini, with just a touch of olive oil and pepper. Enjoy all that antioxidant power working to improve your health while offsetting the effects of cooking red meat.

Grill more fish and chicken. Grilled chicken does not have to be slathered in barbecue sauce. A simple rub of herbs and spices is healthier and contains more antioxidants. Salmon is ideal to spice up and grill hot and fast like a steak. Is there a tastier way to eat fish than grilled? Get the Recipe for heathy Tequila Lime Chicken.

Spice up grilled meats. The antioxidant power of herbs, particularly rosemary, paprika, garlic, sage and black pepper, retard the formation of HCA’s. For example, adding dried cherries to hamburger shows significant reductions in HCA formation. Visit our Recipe Page for tasty recipes.

Marinade meat before grilling. Research again points to significant reductions of HCA’s. Be careful not to use flammable marinades as they may do more harm than good.

Grill on a clean hot grill and ban flare-ups. Eliminating flare-ups is the best way to control char and gain control of the grill. Learn more about the science of GrillGrates.
