Grilling Tips

•Create an improved, non-stick cooking surface by coating all cooking grates with vegetable shortening or cooking oil before preheating.

•To reduce flare up’s keep the BBQ clean, cook lean cuts of meat, trim excess fat and avoid cooking over very high temperatures.

•Always preheat the appliance on HIGH before adding food.

•Always ensure that the temperature is adjusted following preheat. HIGH is intended for fast pre-heating of the appliance, searing steaks and other cuts of meat.

•Medium heat is intended for most grilling, baking and roasting

•Low heat is intended for warming, smoking or cooking delicate foods

•Never pierce meat with a fork

•Do not add salts to meat prior to grilling as it may reduce the “juiciness” of the meat

•Do not place frozen meats on the BBQ cooking grates as this will permanently damage the cooking surface. Thaw at room temperature or in a fridge.

•When basting foods wait until approximately half way through the cooking cycle before adding sauces.

•Always cook with lid down to preserve BBQ temperature.

•Always position BBQ side burner away from wind and cold air for best performance

•After every use, allow BBQ to cool, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable cleaner, dry and protect surfaces with a grill cover.

General Side Burner Tips

Your side burner will boil, sauté, stir fry and warm with ease.

•For best results preheat your side burner for 10-15minutes on “HI”.

•When boiling water or warming foods always ensure that you are using a covered pot or wok.

•Ensure that your gas barbecue is positioned away from high winds or cold air as this will adversely affect your side burner preheating and cooking performance.

•Your 10,000-13,000 BTU side burner will take longer to preheat and cook than your indoor range.

•Remove all food residue and dirt on burner surface.

•Inspect and clean your side burner orifice periodically and confirm that it is clear of food residue, cobwebs or other insect debris that may cause a FLASH FIRE.

General Infrared Rotisserie Burner Tips

Your Rotisserie burner delivers the succulent self-basted flavours of chickens, ducks, pork, beef or lamb roasts that only rotisserie cooking can achieve. Because the Rotisserie Burner uses radiant infrared heat, cooking times are shortened.

•Tie the poultry or meat with a string to keep the shape uniform all around. If the meat is too heavy or irregular if may not rotate well and should be cooked by an indirect method without a spit.

•For best results always use meat that has been thawed overnight in the fridge or at room temperature.

•Insert rod lengthwise through the meat and fasten with forks.

•Tighten screws with pliers as they tend to loosen during turning process.

•Remove the warming rack prior to use.
