[Grilling

With your Jenn-Air grill and accessories, literally any food you’ve considered “atits best” when prepared outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.

The following suggestions are good rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of the equipment.

0 Be sure to follow directions on page 9 for using the grill.

0 Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations in meats and electrical voltage. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings work best.

0Use the Energy-Saver grill element for grilling small amounts of food on half of the grill or for keeping cooked foods warm or preparing food requiring different control settings.

0For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least s/4inch will grill better than thinner cuts.

0 Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while cooking.

0For the attractive “branded” look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one side of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the top surface, before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.

0 When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, rememberthat excessive amounts wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies otherwise. Plus, anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example barbecue sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be “seasoned” prior to preheating. (See p. 9.)

0 There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat for cooking on the grill.

0Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.

0Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.

0 To help retain meat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.

0Should grilled foods be prepared and ready before you’re ready to serve, turn control to a low setting and cover meat with a single sheet of foil. Food will continue to cook.
