GRILL OPERATION - DROP-IN GRILLS

Grilling

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the HI heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may need to lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time. Warming rack is used for defrosting or for keeping food warm while grilling.

Grilling Hints

The cooking of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say it is impossible to have a rare piece of meat with a thin cut.

The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat, also by the size and the shape of the cut, the temperature of the meat when cooking begins, and the cooking degree desired.

When defrosting meats, it is recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This generally yields a juicier cut of meat.

Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat. A spatula will not puncture the meat and let the juices run out.

To get the juiciest meats, add seasoning or salt after the cooking is finished and turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the sur- face.

Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit the fat around the edges at 2-inch intervals.

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.

Light (Illumination) Operation

Your Cal Flame Grill is equipped with either 1-halogen light (CR-3000) or 2-halogen lights (CR-4000 & CR-5000). This feature is added for safety when cooking in non-illuminated areas. Also, for convenience when cooking in poorly illuminated areas or simply for an inviting display of deliciously grilled food.

The On/Off switch controlling your halogen light(s) is located at the control panel on the front lower left side (see Figure 25).

Your grill is equipped with a grounded (3 prong) 120 VAC plug located in the lower, left, rear corner of your cart and must be plugged into a permanent, grounded 120 VAC outlet with a dedicated 15amp GFI breaker. DO NOT cut or remove the ground prong as this may result in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury. This electrical source provides power to the lights, refrigerator and rotisserie.

NOTE: On units with the rotisserie option, an additional outlet will be needed to utilize the rotisserie burner.

WARNING: Lock all casters on all cart wheels even when installed on flat level surfaces.
