While the Kodak Instamatic camera, followed by the instantly-gratifying Polariod, led to a generation of square format photos beginning in the 1960s, the digital cameraâs rise put an end to widespread square format use. Now, once again the square format has captured a prominent role in photography.
Grilling with Direct Heat. When direct heat is used for grilling on a charcoal grill, the cooking temperature typically reaches 450ÂºF to 650ÂºF. Foods that are thin, such as thin cuts of meat, are the best choices for grilling with direct heat because the food is grilled quickly and evenly when using such high temperatures.
Preparing Steak on a Gas Grill. Using a gas-powered grill provides for quick cooking times. When preparing steak on a gas-powered grill, use the highest heat setting. Allow the grill to preheat on the high setting with the lid closed before adding the steak to the grill. Charcoal grills offer a more time-consuming method for cooking with less control of the temperature. As with the gas grill, charcoal should be very hot, with the briquette turning from black to light gray before you apply steak to the grill. Keep the lid of the grill closed while the briquettes heat to the appropriate temperature.
