WHITY MFi P]RESS, Sununer, MAY 10, 1989, PAGE A7 Barbeceue grilliin g popular -low-in. fatý In the past few years, barbecue grilling bas becomne one of the inost popular summer cooking niethods. In addition to being quick and cool, it's also low in fat. When grilled, food needs littie or no* o. And when the food cooks, the fat dhips away. As an option, you may choose to brush a saial amount of seasoned olive oil onto the food before grilling. GBEJLNG REDUCES FAT INTAKE Fat contains almost twice the calories as an equivalent aniount of protein or carbohydrates. Health-conscious people try to limit their daily intake of fat to a range of 20-30 per cent, and grilling is an ideal cooking niethod to achieve this goal.

Many varieties are naturally low in fat and even the fish lhagher in fat are thought to be healthful for eating. Fish steaks or thick cutlets should lie grilled for five minutes per inch of thickness, per side. If you are grilling thin, low fat fish fillets, try cooking on one side only - for approimately 4 to 5 minutes. This elimidnates the need ta, use a fish grill in order to flip the delicate fillets. If you are in the miarket for a new barbecue, buy it with care as your future meals are at "steak"'!

Gas grilling makes cooking easier and faster and provides greater heat control. Look for a covered barbecue that gives you the option of roasting, smoking and grilhing. Even quick-cooking cuts of meat and fish cook faster and stay juicier when cooked with the lid down and vents open.
