Test-Kitchen Tips: When grilling quick-cooking items such as chops, turn them only once. If you leave the meat alone for a few minutes, it will have a chance to form a nice brown crust. If you move it too soon, the meat will stick, and you'll pull off the incipient crust. Once that brown edge forms, the meat is easy to move. When you do turn the meat, use tongs or a spatula. Never poke a fork into the meat or the precious juices will escape.

Wine Recommendation: Grilled lamb chops are the perfect foil for the rich cassis and herbal flavors of cabernet sauvignon. Your best bet here is a so-called super Tuscan. Though the most famous wines, such as Sassicaia and Tignanello, fetch astronomical prices, many excellent values can also be found.
