6 SAVVY WAYS TO ENSURE GRILLING SUCCESS THIS SUMMER
oil the clean grill grates before cooking. Using
tongs and a paper towel dipped in oil is often
more effective than coating foods with oil.
Use a Meat Thermometer
You may be a seasoned grill master, but guesswork
can lead to mistakes, especially when
cooking for a crowd. Avoid overcooked (or
worse, undercooked) chicken and burgers by
using an instant-read thermometer to help ensure
meat is cooked safely while retaining its
juicy fl avor.
Grill Buns Correctly
Burgers and hot dogs are classics for a reason,
but avoiding soggy buns and mid-bite fallout
requires the right bun for the job. Striking
the perfect balance of pillowy softness with
the structure to hold their shape through every
loaded topping, condiment and bite is key
when choosing the right bun for the job. More
than just a vehicle for grilled favorites, Wonder
Classic Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns are a familiar
taste that makes cookouts delicious and
have held it together, literally and fi guratively,
for more than a century. In continuing its longstanding

For great grilled buns, follow a few easy steps:
1. Brush cut sides of buns with softened butter,
mayo or both to help the bun brown evenly.
2. Lightly salt the buttered side before grilling.
3. During the last 2 minutes of cooking burgers
or dogs, place buns cut-side down over medium
low heat for 30-60 seconds. Look for a
light golden toast, crisp enough to hold up.
Let Food Rest Before Serving
After grilling, give meat a few minutes to rest
before serving or slicing. This allows juices to
redistribute throughout the food for better texture
and fl avor.
Layer Burgers, Condiments and Toppings
After toasting buns, add a thin layer of sauce
to coat the bun then lettuce that’s been patted

Do What You Can Ahead of Time
Stick to a mix of easy favorites and makeahead
sides to keep prep manageable while offering
something for everyone to enjoy. When
possible, prep ahead of time so you can keep
your focus on the fun and your attention on
the hot grill. Chop vegetables, wash lettuce for
burgers, make sure you have picked out the
perfect buns, form and season beef patties and
mix marinades the day before the big bash to
avoid last-minute rushes around the kitchen.
Prep the Grill
Patience is key when it comes to grilling, as a
properly heated grill is the foundation for good
cooking. Give gas grills enough time to come
to temperature, around 10-15 minutes, and
allow charcoal to ash over completely. When
grilling different types of food, it’s especially
helpful to set up cooking zones – direct and
indirect – so you can cook meat, veggies and
buns differently or move fi nished food to one
side, as needed.
