Ingredients

How to make it

  • If you can stand the heat for less than one second, the grill is very hot, over 600°F.
  • If you can hold your hand in place for 1 to 2 seconds, the grill is considered hot, or between 400° and 500° F.
  • If you can withstand 3 to 4 seconds, the grill is medium, or 350° to 375° F.
  • If you can hold your hand in place for 5 to 7 seconds, the grill is medium low, or 325° to 350° F.

    Interesting quick reference points.

    My Weber seems to cook at a much slower during winter months than during summer. Quite noticably, though I'm not sure why, given that I keep the cover on both seasons. Wonder if I can detect a difference using your hand method? Will try it.

    Thanks.

    This seems dangerous to me. I hate getting burned.

    Hmmm... I think I'll use my oven thermometer instead. It's a lot easier on my digits. Blisters always did bother me.. .
