USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat
setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be
necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This method will cook the food
through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may
need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat period, the faster the
meat browns and the darker the sear marks. Place the food on the grill and cook to the
desired brown level. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any
position between “HI” and “LOW”.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.
SEAR-ZONE™ - IR BURNERS:
An IR grill works by producing intense heat which quickly sears
the meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the
outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced
as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result
is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside. Just the
result you want with most grilled foods.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. The intense infrared heat produced by your
Artisan™ Grill meets these requirements perfectly. Meat is cooked evenly throughout, while juices
grease and food particles are vaporized upon contact with the burner, giving added flavor to your food.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. Proper preheating browns the meat and
produces darker sear marks. Place the food on the grill and sear both sides as recommended
on the “Infrared Grilling Tips” section on page 19.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.
ROTISSERIE BURNERS:
Your ARTISAN™ Grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking. The location of the rear
burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (not included) beneath the food to collect juices
and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion,
garlic, or spices.
