GRILLING HINTS

This Jenn-Air grill has an infrared side burner – commonly referred to as a “searing” burner. This type of burner produces extreme heat that can be used to “sear” the outside of food thus locking the juices inside. This process is used at many upscale restaurants to improve the flavor of the food. To properly use, cook each side of the meat for 1-2 minutes on the searing side burner and then move the meat to the main cooking surface to finish cooking the inside to your choice.

The preparation of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the thickness of the cut.

The cooking time is affected by the type of meat, the size and shape of the cut, the temperature of the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of preparation desired.

It is recommended that meat be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This generally yields a juicier cut of meat.

Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat. A spatula will not puncture the meat and let the juices run out.

To get the juiciest meat, add seasoning or salt after cooking is finished and turn the meat only once during cooking. Juices are lost when the meat is turned several times. Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface.

Trim excess fat from the meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit the fat around the edges at 2 inch intervals.

WARNING

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
