To BBQ on a gas grill, preheat the grill by turning all burners to high for 10-15 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low. Place your meat on the grates and close the lid, adjusting the temperature as needed to maintain a consistent heat. Flip the meat as needed and use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the desired internal temperature. Brush on BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking if desired, then remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

The dust particles accumulate in the basement due to the ventilation system, circulation of air, humidity, and poor air quality, which makes it a common location for the accumulation of allergens, mold, and mildew. Additionally, basements may be used for storage, which means lots of dust-causing items can accumulate.

The creaminess of risotto comes from the starch present in the Arborio rice used to make it.

Additionally, butter and grated Parmesan cheese can also be added at the end to enhance the creaminess.
