GRILL

Using

Before you use the grill for the first time:

1.Wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Never use a metal scrubbing pad or gritty cleanser on the grill; these will damage the nonstick surface.

2.After cleaning, lightly wipe the cooking surface with cooking oil. This will prevent the food from sticking.

Grilling tips

Choosing meat

For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4" thick will grill better than thinner cuts.

Preparing to grill

Meat that usually has a lot of fat will smoke more when cooking and could cause flare- ups. However, fatty meat cooks faster than lean meat. Trim fat from meat before placing on the grill to prevent a large amount of smoke or flare-ups.

Remove the grill cover before heating the grill. Because a heated grill cover would not look hot, someone could be burned if they touched the cover. Heating the grill cover could also damage the finish.

Precondition grates by brushing them with vegetable oil or spraying them with a nonstick coating prior to each use.

Score fat on the edges of steak, but do not cut into the meat. This will prevent curling while cooking.

Preheat the grill on the HI setting for five or ten minutes. Preheating makes meat taste and look better. It also lets you quickly sear the meat to help keep juices in.

The fan turns on by itself while you are using the grill. Do not use the grill if the fan does not go on.

Do not cover the entire cooking surface with meat. Leave space between the food items to help smoke and steam clear away quickly.

What to use while grilling

Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks be- cause they make holes in the meat, letting juices run out.

What not to use in the grill area

Do not use aluminum foil.

Do not use charcoal or wood chips.

While cooking

Before turning, let one side of meat cook until it is as done as you want, or cook until juices appear on the top of the meat. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once; turning and moving food causes it to lose juice.

When basting meats or putting sauces on food, remember that extra sauce winds up inside your grill and does not improve the food’s flavor. Put on sauces during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking unless the recipe tells you to do it differently. If you put on too much of a sugary sauce, it will leave a caramel-like glaze on the grill grates and grill-rocks. This glaze is hard to clean.

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

Some foods, such as poultry and nonoily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter from time to time while grilling.

To help keep juices in meat, salt after turning meat or after cooking is done.
