Grilling Tips and Hints

Safe Grill Operation

•NEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually observing the food will help in maintaining an even temperature, conserve flame, improve the food’s flavor and lessen flare-ups.

•To open the grill lid, slowly lift the handle to avoid burning in case of a grease fire flare-up.

•DO NOT expose any part of your body directly above the cooking area.

Food Preparation Hints

Your grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow these instructions:

•Trim excess fat from meat and poultry. Slash any remaining fat to stop curling, but take care not to cut the meat.

•Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed prior to cooking.

•Frozen fish and vegetables will cook without thawing.

•Salt food after cooking to help prevent drying out the food.

•Brush naturally lean meats with cooking oil or margarine.

•Cook small pieces of tender foods in foil or on special delicate-food cooking grate (see the section titled “Cooking Methods”).

•Apply barbecue, tomato or sugar-based sauces no sooner than the last 10 minutes of cooking.

•Turn food with tongs or a spatula; piercing food (especially meat), tends to dry it out.

Cooking Methods

•The heat source is directly below the food.

•Use for browning meat or cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, but check food frequently.

•Use for skillet and stir-fry cooking, but limit the amount of oil and heat to be used.

•Cook roasts, turkey or duck on low heat. Place meat with water in a foil pan with a corrugated bottom. Replenish water as needed.
