Tasty Tuesday: Grilling

Spring has sprung in NC.  We're having beautiful, warm weather now.  That means we get to enjoy our new deck and our new STOK grill even more.

This isn't a paid post.  But man I wish it was.

We LOVE to grill.  In the spring and summer we make our entire meal on the grill.  Yes, sides and the main course.

We recently put our Char-Broil Infrared Blah Blah Blah grill to rest.  I'll just be honest....it sucked.  It was horrible.  The meat was guaranteed to NEVER burn and trust me, it didn't because it never got hot enough to cook anything in a reasonable amount of time.



Last month we saw the STOK grill at our local Target.  It was nifty.  It looks a little old school but has some great features like inserts (wok, pizza stone, veggie tray, smoker, cast iron kettle, roaster, rib rack, etc).  But we moved away from it.

Then we were on our mini vacay and we saw another group of them while out shopping.  Of course when we went back to the hotel room the hubby started researching this grill.  Turns out there was a dud but there was also one that had high ratings!

Before we headed home we purchased the one with high ratings.

We haven't been upset yet.  The cook time is fabulous.  We can cook our veggies (last night was asparagus and mushrooms) while our meat is cooking (last night was chicken breast in a whiskey marinade).

The steaks we have made have been tender and juicy.  Please do not get me started on how wonderful the burgers are.  The only thing we have left to try (traditionally speaking) are some big fat Ahi Tuna steaks (my favorite!).  

I also am planning out trying the pizza stone this weekend.

Grilling is fun and affordable and allows you to get the hell out of the kitchen....grill on my friends.
