5. Crimes Against Meat, Part 1: Stabbing Instead of Turning The proper way to turn steaks and chops on the grill is with tongs or a spatula. Step away from that barbecue fork -- heck, I don't even own one -- unless you enjoy watching all those flavor-rich juices leak out onto the fire.
I've done that before.

Think I have three different tongs...one specifically for grilling.
What I don't get is many tell you to use a meat thermometer, but putting that into the meat makes the juices run out just like stabbing it with a fork.
Timing and just observing the meat works for me.

I have a friend who is "slap happy" and like to press down on the burgers... and they always turn out dry.

It's not BBQ unless you have smoke... and we're not talking about burning the meat on the grill either.
