Pike Nurseries - The 10 Commandments of Grilling!
- The start of summer is right around the corner, which means plenty of planting, watering, fertilizing and mulching. A long day of playing in the dirt can really work up an appetite, and there’s nothing better than enjoying a tasty, hot-off-the-grill meal.
- To
kick off the season of sizzle, Pike Nurseries helps grill masters everywhere
start the fire and satisfy those summer cravings with the 10 Commandments of
Grilling. Whether it’s for a Memorial Day grilling extravaganza or a family
picnic on the patio, Pike Nurseries has the perfect tips, tricks and grill
accessories to get homeowners grilling and barbequing like a pro!
- Be prepared and organized. Before you start, make sure you have everything you need – food, marinade, basting sauce, seasonings and equipment – at grill-side. Pike Nurseries offers a great selection of grills, including the Weber Gas Grills and the Kamado Joe ceramic grill, as well as tools to get you fully prepared and ready to grill.
- Gauge the fuel. When using charcoal, light enough to form a bed of glowing coals three inches larger on all sides than the surface area of the food you're planning to cook. When cooking on a gas grill, make sure the tank is at least one-third full. For charcoal that burns cleaner, hotter and longer than other brands, try Kamado Joe 100% Natural Lump Charcoal, available at Pike Nurseries. It can even be relit for multiple uses, so you don’t have to worry about your grilling habits burning a hole in your wallet.
- Preheat to the correct
temperature. Grilling
is a high-heat cooking method. To get the perfect seared crust, charcoal flavor
and grill marks, you must cook over a high heat of at least 500 degrees. For
grill masters looking to perfect this high-heat cooking method, the Kamado
Joe Ceramic Grill offers high quality heat retention properties and even
includes a smoker and an oven for maximum cooking versatility.
- Always keep it clean. Clean the grate twice: once after
you've preheated the grill and again when you've finished cooking. Use the edge
of a metal spatula to scrape off food debris and a stiff, long-handled wire
brush to finish scrubbing the grate.
- Grease the grate. Lubricate the grate just before
placing the food on top, but only if necessary (some foods don't require it).
Using a pair of tongs, rub the grate evenly with a folded paper towel soaked in
oil to help eliminate sticking.
- Marinade at the right time. Bastes
and marinades based from oil and vinegar, citrus or yogurt can be brushed on the meat throughout
the cooking period. When using a sugar-based barbecue sauce, apply it toward
the end of the cooking time to protect the sauce from burning.
- Never stab. Stabbing
the meat can drain its juices and dry it out. The proper way to turn meat on a grill
is with the appropriate equipment, such as tongs or a spatula.
- Keep it covered. When cooking larger cuts of meat and
poultry, such as a whole chicken, leg of lamb or prime rib, use the indirect
method of grilling and keep the grill tightly covered. Every time the lid is
lifted, you add five to 10 minutes to the overall cooking time. The Kamado
Joe Heat Deflector is a helpful tool to use when cooking with indirect
heat. It circulates the heat around your food slowly, which keeps meats moist
and tender and reduces the potential of charring.
- Let it sit. Remove the meal from the grill and
let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows the meat juices, which
have been driven to the center of a roast or steak by the blazing heat, to
settle and return to the surface.
- Stay with the grill. It's easy to cook on a grill, but it demands your undivided attention. Once you start grilling something, stay with it until it's cooked.

Center for Puppetry Arts - Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat!
Dr.
Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat is set to delight audiences this summer,
making its Center for Puppetry Arts
debut June 13-July 28. The story features everyone’s favorite
moments with Sally and her brother, their pet Fish, Thing 1 and Thing 2—and, of
course, the story’s namesake, that famous Cat in the red and white striped hat!
Zany fun and adventures abound in this memorable tale!
The
classic children’s book was originally adapted and directed by Katie Mitchell
for the National Theatre of Great Britain and was a smash hit in London. The
show is now being produced across the U.S. and the Center for Puppetry Arts is
thrilled to realize this delightfully funny story through puppetry.
Under
the direction of Jon Ludwig, the Center’s team has been diligently working to
create the puppets, scenery and props from scratch, faithfully adhering to the
iconic Seuss style. Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat features tabletop puppetry,
animation and a whole bag of tricks to pull off the Cat’s daring feats.
Performing the familiar characters are skilled puppeteers Dolph Amick, Aaron
Gotlieb, Reay Kaplan, Rudy Roushdi, Amy Sweeney and Tim Sweeney.
“We
are having a blast adapting this excellent actor version for the puppet stage,”
said Jon Ludwig, director of the show and the Center’s Artistic Director.
“Audiences will feel like they have stepped right into the book. I know that
this was the book that got me reading, and I can’t wait to share the wonderful
world of Dr. Seuss with our audiences!”
Dr.
Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat is presented in the Mainstage Theater, June
13-July 28, 2013. Show times are as follows:
· Tuesday –
Friday: 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
· Saturday:

· Sunday:

The
