But how long should they be grilled for? This guide will help alleviate some of the &#8220;Is it cooked?&#8221; stress from grilling. Exact times will vary due to the thickness but the following is a great starting point.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Burgers<\/h3>\n<p>Pre-heat the grill pretty high &#8211; 450-550F &#8211; when grilling burgers. Cooking at that temperature will create a delicious crust on the outside. Once on the grill, close the lid and step away. Do not press down or flatten the meat. It will result in a less juicy burger. Only flip one time halfway through cooking too.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rare: 5 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Medium Rare: 7 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Medium: 8 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Well Done: 10 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Chicken<\/h3>\n<p>Thighs and breasts are two popular cuts of chicken to grill. Make sure to cook over medium heat (350-450F). If the temperature is too high it will cause the outside to cook before the middle gets to 165F. Always check the internal temperature with a thermometer before serving.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chicken Thighs (Boneless): 5-6 minutes per side<\/li>\n<li>Chicken Breast (Boneless): 5-6 minutes per side<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Fish<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t fear cooking fish on the grill. Make sure the grates are properly pre-heated (450-550F) before placing any fish on them. Since fish is delicate, only flip once halfway through cooking. When done, it will release from the grates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fillet\/Steak: 8 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Shrimp (large): 5 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Scallops: No more than 5 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pork<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry about serving tough pork if these cooking guidelines are followed. Medium heat is best &#8211; between 350 &#8211; 450F &#8211; since it&#8217;s lean and easy to overcook.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pork Chop: 8-12 minutes, flipping once<\/li>\n<li>Tenderloin: 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Steak<\/h3>\n<p>High heat is best when grilling steak &#8211; 450-500F &#8211; to seal in the juices and ensure beautiful grill marks. Set it and forget it. Don&#8217;t open the lid or flip too many times. Steaks only need to be flipped once during the cooking process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rare: 8 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Medium Rare: 9 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Medium 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Well Done: 14 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Want all of this information handy?
