GRILLING TIPS AND HINTS
BURNER CONTROL SETTING TIPS
•The high flame setting is too hot for direct cooking. The high flame setting is good for quick searing of meat, then finish cooking on medium or low flame settings.
•Use high flame setting with lid closed to preheat the grill for 5 minutes before cooking and with lid closed for a maximum of 5 minutes after cooking to burn off grease drippings.
E• Use medium flame setting for direct cooking of steaks, pork chops, chicken and hamburgers.
• Use low flame setting for roasts and rotisserie foods.n
g | • | Thick steaks will finish with a better texture and more juice if first seared on high flame setting and then cooked on low flame setting. | |
SAFE GRILL OPERATION | |||
l | |||
• | NEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually observing the food will help in maintaining an even temperature, conserve fuel, improve | ||
i | the food’s flavor and lessen flare ups. | ||
s | • | To open grill lid, stand to side of grill and lift handle slowly to avoid burning in case of a grease fire flare up. | |
h | • | 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 the following 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.
• Placing frozen food on very hot porcelain cooking grids can cause temperature shock and crack the finish.
• 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 grids. (see below)
• Apply barbecue, tomato or sugar based sauces no sooner than the last 10 minutes of cooking.
• Turn food with tongs or spatula; piercing tends to dry out meat.
