GE Monogram Component Cooktop System manual Grill cooking guide, Beef Steaks, tender

Grill cooking guide

•Do not leave the cooktop unattended during “preheat” (knobs turned to “HI”) or any time the knobs are turned to “HI” with food on the grill. Most foods will be grilled on the HI setting.

•Preheat at the HI setting for 10 minutes before grilling. Change the heat setting as advised in your cookbook for the food you are grilling.

•Trim the excess fat from the meat.

•Before cooking steaks, slash the fat around the edges to prevent curling of the meat.

•Suggested cooking times should be used only as a guide, since variables in food can change the cooking times.

•Foods should be turned over and rearranged as needed.
