Using the Sear STATION™

Your Weber® gas barbecue includes a sear burner for searing meats such as steak, poultry parts, fish, and chops).

Searing is a direct grilling technique which browns the surface of the food at a high temperature. By searing or browning both sides of the meat you will create a more desirable flavor by caramelizing the food surface. Searing will also enhance appearance of the meat with sear marks from the cooking grates. This along with the contrast of textures and flavors can make food more interesting to the palate

The Sear Station™ burner has an on or off control setting that works with the two adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear meats while using other cooking areas for grilling with moderate heat.

To Use the Sear Station™

Before searing you should turn all of the main burners on HI for 15 minutes to preheat the grill. Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow for maximum heat and to avoid flare ups.

Once the grill is preheated, turn the outer burners off or down to low. Leave the center two burners on HI and ignite the Sear Station Burner (See Sear Station™ lighting Instructions).

Place the meat directly over the Sear Station™. You will Sear each side anywhere from 1 to 4 minutes, depending on the type of meat and thickness. You may turn the food a quarter turn to make crossing sear marks (1) before you sear the other side in the same manner.

Once you are done searing you can finish grilling by moving the meat to a more moderate heat over the outside burners to achieve the desired doneness.

As you gain experience in using your Sear Station™, we encourage you to experiment with different searing times to find results that work best for your taste.
