Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 2004gas grill question
How do you make baked potatoes on a gas grill? We just got one and I'm too dumb to figure this out. With the charcoal grill I'd wrap the potatoes individually in foil and bury them in the coals. Now there are no coals, just burners and it's like cooking on a stovetop. Will they cook evenly if I put them on the grill & close the lid? I think they'll be burned on the bottom if I do this. Help?

If it doesn't have a warming rack you might have to put them in something such as a pan to keep them away from the flame. > > How do you make baked potatoes on a gas grill?

It does have a warming rack - thank you Bev! > How do you make baked potatoes on a gas grill? We just got one and I'm too > dumb to figure this out.

Potatoes are one of those things with not enough value for the calorie/glycemic load, IMO. We often slice up veggies - peppers and summer squash - and cook those with some spritz of oil in a veggie grilling basket we have for the grill. But mostly we just grill some meat and throw it on salad. That's how I got through last summer without a kitchen. Well, that and the George Foreman.

Those will be great on the grill. > >We often slice up veggies - peppers and summer squash - and cook those > >with some spritz of oil in a veggie grilling basket we have for the grill.

DH said he didn't know why we bothered going out since it looked just like what I eat at home all of the time. Jenn *atmosphere* dear - and someone else does the dishes > We love our gas grill, but have never, ever tried to cook potatoes on > it.

Even though they're allowed in EFL as the carb serving, I'll probably stick to fruit or beans. > We often slice up veggies - peppers and summer squash - and cook those > with some spritz of oil in a veggie grilling basket we have for the grill. Last night was eggplant, zucchini, and portabella mushrooms to go with the burgers (turkey for me, beef for DH). I could eat grilled zucchini and portabellas every day - and probably will. > But mostly we just grill some meat and throw it on salad. That's my typical dinner - meat and salad. It's been a challenge to throw in the carb serving. |
