How to Grill, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted May 17th 2006 @ 8:06AM

Just about everything that can be grilled is grilled by Steven Raichlen in the pages of How to Grill. It isn't subtitled "The complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques" for nothing. Raichlen starts with the basics and covers everything from burgers to brisket to creme brulee. Even experienced grillers will be sure to learn something new, whether it's about proper tying techniques or cold smoking. I like the fact that it is available paperback, since I can't really picture lugging around a heavy, shiny hardback book back and forth to the grill. Paperback seems more casual, more grill-appropriate. So, while you're tackling Sarah's question about charcoal versus gas, (which Raichlen also goes over in this book) you might as well start bookmarking all the recipes you want to try.

Anyone with a grill or smoker should have this book. When I bought the book I was trying to find out how to do a beer can chicken. I'm glad I can do so much more now.

I have learned all kinds of techniques and now don't even consider grilling anything without first looking it up in this book. This should be a staple in everyone's cookbook collection.

A trout you have to sit there and hold for a full ten minutes a side. That isn't grilling, it's goofy campfire cooking I wouldn't put my worst enemy through.
