____ Lion Premium Grills Newsletter – No. 91, April 2021
____
Welcome to the April 2021 issue and 91st edition of the Lion Premium Grills Newsletter! Spring is now in full swing which means that right now is the absolute best time to prepare your backyard for the quickly approaching summer months. Summer brings with it warm nights, long days, and beautiful weather to sit back with the entire family and enjoy eating and conversing outdoors. But to be perfectly honest Spring may be even better in terms of cooler weather which also makes these months prime for relaxing and grilling outdoors. It may mean a new built in grill for an existing outdoor kitchen, or an entirely new grill with island, or even a grill and cart combo if you value mobility; the options are there to cater to your needs! Barbecuing during these months is an American pastime and one we hope you can enjoy with our line of grills and outdoor products. This month our newsletter is packed with content which we’ll detail below.
What do we have in store for this month’s issue? First off, we have a delicious grilled shrimp recipe for everyone that enjoys seafood, complete with a homemade spicy cocktail sauce. We have an in-depth featured look at our multi-functional bin which as the name describes, can be utilized in a variety of different ways. We have tips on how to enhance your grilling experience as well as a look at a video in which a Lion grill is used for the very first time. We hope you enjoy this month’s issue and thank you for visiting us at Lion; we greatly appreciate everyone for taking the time out to view our products. Thank you again!

A Fantastic Value
“This grill is a great value. It gets very hot, very quickly, and holds a steady temperature for smoking or slow-cooking meats well, even when the outside temperatures change substantially during the course of cooking. The in-grill thermometer is accurate for the most part, which is definitely a plus. It’s big, it looks great, and so far, it’s held up well (and I live in an area that gets close to 100 inches of rainfall a year, with a fair amount of that coming as snow and icy conditions). It cleans up well. I bought this along with the Lion side burner and access door, and together they make a beautiful and highly functional outdoor kitchen that I really love to use no matter the weather.”

Having the best tools at your disposal is essential when it comes to the grilling experience. We feel we make the best grills and outdoor products so that criteria is met. It is still always very useful though to obtain some general tips and tricks to make your actual experience on the grill a more enjoyable one (and it will increase your overall grilling skills and base of knowledge). These little tips will come in extremely handy when it comes to really maximizing all of the ways you can improve on your craft. We hope you take these tricks and apply them the next time you decide to grill up some chicken (brine it for the best chicken you’ve ever tasted) or attempt to steam the perfect piece of Chilean Sea Bass.
Brined Poultry Makes for Fantastic Grilling The process of brining chicken or turkey is really very simple but it makes a world of difference when it cooks to tenderness and flavor. It’s completely worth the time and effort, and once you try this method you’ll be hard pressed to go back to not brining. Bring some salt water and sugar to a boil and mix completely. Add any aromatics, spices or herbs to the mix and let cool completely. Once the liquid is completely cool, add your poultry, stick it in the refrigerator and let it rest for anywhere from a handful of hours to a few days (the longer it goes, the more intense the flavors become). That’s it! Be prepared for some incredible grilled chicken! Pack and Steam Your Fish Steaming your desired cut of fish is an incredible way to go when grilling fish; the fish remains moist and you can steam with any variety of herbs,aromatics, and enhancers that you could ever want. Slices of lemon, sprigs of thyme, etc. are all perfect for this. The process is simple as well; wrap your fish in a foil packet that has been oiled and filled with your other ingredients. Place on the grill for roughly 8 to 10 minutes. There are many amazing ways to cook fish but this method seems underrated in our eyes.
Use Seasoning and Sauces with Restraint
Be careful to not overdo it with the marinades, rubs, and sauces. It’s all personal preference of course, but the powerful flavor of grilled or smoked meat can be obscured instead of subtly enhanced. Flavorful cuts of steak like ribeye or porterhouse may only need salt and oil as seasoning. Be careful to not add BBQ sauce too early while your meat is still on the grill for instance. If you sauce it before the last few minutes on the grill, the intense heat will scorch the bbq sauce and negatively impact the overall flavor of your ribs.
Our featured grill recipe for the April Newsletter is a wonderful variation on the classic shrimp cocktail — we’re going to brine and then grill the shrimp and you won’t believe how elevated these flavors are! This recipe is really easy to execute and making the brine and cocktail sauce is quick and painless. Shrimp cocktail is always a favorite and this recipe kicks it up to the next level. Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed!
