Tip of the Week

Marinate meats, poultry and fish in a low-fat marinade BEFORE grilling. For reasons yet unknown, even a BRIEF time in marinade REDUCES the amount of HCAs (compounds formed on grilled foods that have been shown to cause cancerous tumors in animals). This can help reduce HCAs as much as 92 to 99 percent. Use a marinade that contains an acidic ingredient, like vinegar or citrus juice. Also, keep the amount of oil in marinades to a minimum to reduce flare-ups that can cause the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to a minimum.
