Grill Cooking tips
Grilling can be either an open or closed canopy process.
Open canopy grilling is excellent for foods requiring quick searing like steaks, burgers, chops, and hot dogs. Closed canopy grilling is similar to roasting in an oven. Food is cooked by heat reflection from the cover as well as heat from the burners below.
•When grilling chicken, roasts, well done steaks or chops and thick pieces of meat, sear on High. Then reduce the heat setting to prevent excessive flare- up. This will allow the food to cook through without burning the outside.
•When grilling large pieces of meat, use a meat thermometer to insure that meats are either rare, medium and well cooked.
•After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for approximately 1 minute, you may slide a spatula under the meat and turn it approximately 9@ so that a waffle pattern will be seared onto the food.

•Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops, or hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the meat is after the juices have begun to bubble to the surface.
•To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not the edge. This will prevent loss of juices.
