To Oil or Not to Oil?

00

Q:  Dr. BBQ,

I have a new BBQ with stainless steel grills. I have heard of people “oiling” the grill prior to cooking on it.   What do you recommend?

A:  Hi Jim,

I don’t generally oil the grids unless I’m cooking fish, because it’s so delicate. If you get the grids good and hot before cooking and then brush them off right before the food goes on you should be fine.
