WESTLAND, Mich - Summertime is full of some of our favorite activities -bonfires, boating and best of all.....BBQs! If you haven't already, it is time to break in the good ole grill and start cooking up some delicious summertime meals. We have got you covered for grill season with our Grilling Tips and Recipes for Your Next Summer BBQ! Don't forget, you can find these tips, recipes and so much more on our Pinterest page! 

Grilling Tips:

• Clean it Up - Brush off your grill while it is still hot with a long-handled wire grill brush. Also, you can reduce food sticking to your grill by rubbing a vegetable oil-soaked paper towel over the hot grill racks with tongs.
• Keep it HOT, HOT, HOT - It is important that your grill is preheated 15 to 25 minutes prior to cooking. This will ensure that your grill reaches the appropriate temperature and kills any left over bacteria. High heat should reach 400-450°F, medium heat 300-350°F and low heat 250-300°F. 
• Chill Out for a While - Once the meat has finished cooking, it is always a good idea to cover it with foil for about 10 minutes. All of the juices in the meat will have time to redistribute evenly and will result in an extra tasty meal for you!

Now that we have some of the basics out of the way, how about some great recipes to try out this summer? We've got a few ideas that are bound to be a hit with any crowd and are super easy to follow. Check them out:

Ford Gives $400,000 Donation to Michigan Science Center

WESTLAND, Mich - After the doors closed to the Detroit-based Michigan Science Center back in 2011, there seemed to be little hope of ever seeing the science center open again. That is until Ford Motor Company, DTE Energy Foundation, General Motors, and Toyota stepped in to save the day. On top of a previous $100,000 that was given last year, Ford gave a generous $400,000 donation to the Michigan Science Center. 

The Michigan Science Center was given a second chance to provide educational and interactive learning to children and their families in December of 2012. Millions of dollars in philanthropic support came from 25 different organizations successfully gave the facility a new life. Ford Motor Company is a huge supporter of STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and donated a large sum of $400,000 to the science center that will be distributed over a three year period. 

Ford, DTE, EM and Toyota will assist the Michigan Science Center in budgeting their donations as it implements the center's outreach programs. Ford believes deeply in the importance of engagement and interactive learning for the next generation, especially when it comes to science and technology. Which is why they continue to do what they can to aid in the success of the Michigan Science Center.

Since the re-opening, the center has seen roughly 384,000 people walk through the doors, which includes special events, educational programs, and facility rentals. The science center is beyond grateful for all of the generous donations and is looking to utilize the contributions to reach out to more children and families. Ford giving $400,000 to the Michigan Science Center will make room for vast improvements in the center and assist in boosting Detroit and Michigan's economies.

Ford to Reveal New Compact Car Concept at Indian Auto Show

WESTLAND, Mich - Coming up this month is the New Delhi Auto Show, where Ford plans to reveal the New Compact Car Concept. Ford Motor Company is looking at this as an opportunity to take part in the growing demand for small cars in India and other developing markets.

Ford's concept car will be a preview of the kind of vehicle that they believe can be utilized in the Asia Pacific region. It will show what Ford believes as the future of the competitive compact-car segment in India and other up and coming markets. 

Most people in the Indian culture prefer to drive cheaper, smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles. The country's roads are congested with traffic, and parking in big cities is a difficult process. Currently, the smallest vehicle Ford offers in India is the Figo hatchback. It has not been made clear if the new concept car will be a replacement or an additional product to the Figo. No innovative features have been released at this time. 

Ford forecasts compact car sales to double from last year to roughly 2 million vehicles in 2018 in India. The demand for the Ford EcoSport, which was launched just last year, is already in very high demand. Ford Motor Company is hoping with the reveal of the New Compact Car Concept at the Indian Auto Show that they will be able to successfully merge into this progressive sector of the marketplace.

At North Brothers Ford, we have a wide variety of Ford vehicles within our inventory that can fit into any lifestyle. Whether you drive more in the city or on the highway, we have a Ford at our dealership that will meet all of your driving needs!
