It’s no secret that grilling recipes are kiiinda our favorites here on PWWB – that’s exactly why we created the Plays Well With Butter Grilling Series! Years back, when we first launched the PWWB Grilling Series, I asked the our community over on Instagram whether or not you like to grill. You said you love grilled food but don’t yet feel super confident when it comes to doing the actual grilling.

You needed some help with grilling basics. Things like…

  • “I need help with lighting the grill without burning my eyebrows off!”
  • “Show us your entire grilling process, because I am intimidated!”
  • “Can you show us how to grill meat? how do you not turn a steak into a car tire?!”
  • “How do you grill veggies without burning them to a crisp?!”
  • “I don’t get the temperatures…like, it’s fire. it’s hot right?! haha…clearly my partner takes care of the grilling…”

Sound familiar? Good. You’re in the right place.
