GRILLING TIPS
•To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the Lid frequently.
•Do not overfill grill.
•When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before suggested time; if necessary adjust time.
•When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
•Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will typically be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
•For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
Important: Use only silicone, plastic and wooden utensils when cooking on the grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with the high temperature.
