Our Best Grill Tips
Grilling experts share their tips and secrets for great grilling and answer your burning questions.
Can I baste my food with the same mixture that I marinated in?
No. If there were any bacteria in the raw meat, the bacteria can transfer to the marinade mixture and back to the meat again if you baste with the same marinade. Either make a separate mixture for basting, reserve part of the original mixture before marinating, or put the marinade mixture that touched raw meat in a saucepan and boil for at least one minute before reusing.
