GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the center of the food to test for doneness (Be careful not to tough the grilling plate). If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.These foods can be grilled on the grilling plates or on the shallow baking pan.

GRILLING TIPS:
•To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the Lid frequently.
•Do not overfill the appliance; it will hold approximately 4 servings comfortably.
•When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before suggested time; if necessary adjust the cooking time.
•If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
•Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will probably be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
•For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
