Book Description
The Cook's Illustrated Guide to Grilling and Barbecue is a comprehensive nuts and bolts volume that thoroughly examines outdoor cooking—starting with the basics. The 12-page introduction to grilling, "Outdoor Cooking 101," walks you step-by-step through the essentials of grilling, grill-roasting, and barbecuing using both charcoal and gas grills. And since outdoor cooking requires just the right tools and equipment, the editors of Cook's Illustrated share the results of their product tests in an extensive buyers guide, "Equipment and Tools for Outdoor Cooking," where charcoal grills, gas grills, grill brushes, tongs, instant-read thermometers, and more are rated. At a glance, you will know which brands we recommend (and why) and which to avoid. Armed with the right equipment and instructions, you'll be ready to tackle just about any recipe from a simple and perfectly cooked burger to succulent pulled pork and restaurant-perfect grilled tuna. You'll find more than 450 recipes for all your favorites—steak tips, ribs, and barbecued chicken as well as some that will expand your repertoire—from Thai-Grilled Chicken and Skirt Steak Tacos to Grilled Corn with Spicy Chili Butter and Bruschetta with Fresh Herbs. The Cook's Illustrated Guide to Grilling and Barbecue also contains more than 300 step-by-step illustrations that walk you through the basics of food preparation, such as how to cut beef for kebabs, trim beef tenderloin, and grill-roast a turkey. Whether you're a novice outdoor cook or aspiring grillmaster, this encyclopedic examination of one of America's favorite pastimes will be your guide to foolproof grilling and barbecuing.

Fantastic! July 7, 2008

I'm not much of a meat eater, but wanted to be able to cook really good meat when I grill. This book may make me a meat lover! Each recipe is very educational as they explain many of the methods they tried before determining the best method for grilling a particular item. I've tried four recipes so far and they have all been absolutely perfect. I grilled burgers for a crowd on the 4th of July and throughout the meal everyone kept commenting on how good the burgers were. Seems that burgers should be simple, but now I know how to make a perfectly cooked juicy burger! The pork tenderloin recipe was also superb; tender and juicy. I won't be looking for any other grilling or barbeque cookbook.

This is a very good book if you want to learn how to grill. I don't think that this is the best recipes book, but if you're looking to learn the techniques to grill to perfection beef, chicken, etc. this is the right guide.

I purchased this book after reading a review and sample recipe in a local newspaper - this is one of the best cookbooks I've purchased. I am an avid CHARCOAL griller and this book has all the best tips (they do include separate instructions for gas grillers). I've made several of the recipes in the book and they have all received rave reviews - especially the brisket. The best part of this book (and other Cooks Illustrated books) is that they don't just hand you a bunch of recipes - they actually walk you through their testing methodology and explain how they came up with the final prep and cooking methods. Highly recommended!
One of my favorites! January 10, 2008

I love this book! I received it as a Christmas gift, but I had checked it out at the library multiple times before. In addition to the excellent recipes, it also includes explanations as to why you should buy a certain cut of meat over another, why you should let meat rest after you take it off the grill, etc. The filet mignon and pulled pork were especially good. Highly recommended!
