Tips for Easy Grilling

•

ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL 5 MINUTES BEFORE USING.

Read the Grill Use & Care Guide before starting to grill.

Grill cooking is so easy because you can brown meats, cook onions, grill vegetables, “stir-fry” dishes, steam fish and toast sandwiches with little attention from the cook.

Use the grill to “prep and cook” foods for traditional range-top recipes: brown ground beef for spaghetti sauce or stir-fry beef strips for a Chinese dish. Since the grill cooks top and bottom at the same time, there’s no need to stir while cooking.

Cook “guilt-free” French fries without the extra oil or make perfect French toast that doesn’t need to be turned during cooking.

•Use vegetable cooking spray for convenient, stick-free grilling. Or if you prefer, brush grill surfaces with vegetable oil before preheating.

•Use plastic utensils on the nonstick grill surfaces. Do not use metal utensils as they will damage the nonstick surface.

•Plan ahead for quick meals by freezing boneless chicken breasts and burger patties for future meals. Place individual servings on a bak- ing sheet and freeze. When frozen, place in plastic bags. To grill, see the “Grilling Chart” on page 6.

•Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down. Wipe grill surfaces with damp paper towel or dish cloth.
