Nutrition

  • Choose leaner cuts of meat, poultry or fish. This will help reduce cancer causing chemicals that develop when smoke is created by burning fat from cooking meat, poultry and fish at high temperatures: 
  • Tip 1: Cook fish away from the flame by using a cedar plank or wrap in grape vine leaves. You can also flip frequently to avoid charring or burning.
  • Tip 2: Trim fat to reduce flame flare up and choose smaller pieces of meat
  • Tip 3: Have a spray bottle of water nearby to spray down any flare ups.
