USING THE GRILL

GRILLING (Continued)

1.Check to be certain the drip pan and grease tray are in place.

2.Light the grill burners using the instructions in section ‘Lighting instructions’.

3.Once you have verified the burners are lit, preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes.

4.Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “SEAR” and “LOW” - most grilling is done between “MED” and “LOW” settings.

5.When you have finished using the grill, turn the burner knobs to “OFF” and shut off the main gas supply.

6.Allow grill to cool and clean the grates, drip pan and grease tray after each use.

CAUTION!

Never cook food with all grill burners on “SEAR” with the grill hood open for more than 30 minutes.

Note:

If using LPG gas, your preheat time may be shorter than recommended. To prevent overcooking or burning, you may want to lower heat settings.

GRILLING HINTS:

The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say it is impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut of meat. The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat, the size and shape of the cut, the temperature of the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of doneness desired. When defrosting meats it is recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigera- tor as opposed to a microwave. This in general yields a juicier cut of meat. Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, as a spatula will not puncture the meat and let the juices run out. To get the juiciest meats, add seasoning or salt after the cooking is finished and turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface. Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit the fat around the edges at 5 cm intervals.

DUAL-SIDED GRATES:

Whether you or your guests crave seafood, steak or veggies, the double-sided grates provide varying surfaces for varying textures. The “W”-shaped side creates nice sear lines for steaks, chicken and chops and routes oil and grease away from the food. The opposite “radius” side offers more surface area for support and handling of deli- cate items like scallops. (See below for a sample list of which foods to cook on which side of the grate.) Keep the grates mixed–half on one side and half on the other or a percentage that best represents what you are cooking.
