Grilling Guidelines

Grilling Times: Recipe cooking times are estimates. Cooking time will vary based on the temperature of the grid, the surrounding air, and the food itself. Watch food carefully while grilling and adjust the cooking time as necessary.

Marinating Tips: Never marinate foods in metal containers for extended lengths of time (2 or more hours). The acids in foods can react with metal, causing an unpleasant taste. Instead, use glass, ceramic, or plastic bag containers for marinating.

Meat Safety Tip: To reduce the risk of spoiling, store meat in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook. Never thaw or marinate meat at room temperature, especially in warm climates.

Grilling Tips

Cover grill when preheating or grilling unless recipe suggests otherwise.

Please remember that your grill plate is coated with a nonstick surface and that plastic utensils should always be used.

If grilling vegetables, fish, or lean meat, spray the grilling surface with a cooking spray. If grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no need to treat the plate.

For best results, preheat the grill with cover closed for 5 to 10 minutes before grilling.

Food Safety Tip: Never use leftover marinade as a finishing sauce on cooked foods. The leftover marinade must first be boiled for one to two minutes to kill any bacteria from the raw food that was marinated.

Nonstick Grilling Tip: Without the use of oil, certain foods will stick slightly to nonstick surfaces. This is easily prevented. Before turning on your grill, brush or spray the grill plates lightly with oil or nonstick cooking spray. (Never add oil or spray to a heated plate— this is dangerous.)

Always read all safety information.

Skewers are available in most large supermarkets. If using the disposable, wooden-type skewers, soak the skewers in water at least 10 minutes before threading on food. This prevents the skewer from scorching and makes a more attractive presentation.

If using a marinade with oil, place grill near an exhaust hood. Oil or fat will produce some smoke.

Marinade or sauces may cook on grill plate; use spatula to trim before slicing or cutting.
