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

Cooking Methods
Direct method:
•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
•Cook roasts, turkey or duck on low heat. Place meat with water in a foil pan with a corrugated bottom. Replenish water as needed.
Indirect method:
•Light only one side of the burner and place food on the opposite side for cooking.
•Allow food to cook at a lower temperature which increases tenderness and reduces grease
•It is a good method for cooking foods that burn easily (vegetables, fish, etc.).
•Cook casseroles in ovenware or foil pans much like cooking in a conventional oven.
•Also try placing a pan of water above the lit burner side to help meat retain its juices. Replenish the water as needed.
Care, Maintenance and Cleaning
GREASE CUp
The grease cup is located below the grill and should be cleaned after each use to prevent heavy build up. (Fig. 36)
Note: Allow the grease cup to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately). Rain water can be collected inside of the grill, or in the grease cup if left uncovered. If the grease cup is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the grease cup will be filled with water causing grease and water to spill. We recommend cleaning and storing the grease cup after every use.

COOKING GRATE
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
CAUTION
All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool & with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder. Disposable propane cylinders should be detached from the grill during cleaning.
