Welcome! We appreciate that you’ve selected an Evo® grill, the brand used by more professional chefs entertaining more people than any other cooking appliance. Bringing people together around food is our passion, it’s also what inspired us to design and build the most versatile grill that lets people share the joy of cooking. This guide includes cooking techniques and handselected recipes designed to familiarize you with your new Evo grill.
Getting Started Flattop Grilling Fire It Up! A flattop grill resembles a griddle but performs differently because the heating element is circular rather than straight (side to side). The Evo grill heating technology creates an extremely hot and even cooking surface that’s unparalleled in heat retention and even heat distribution. Before firing up your Evo grill, gather everything you need for your recipe, including prepping your ingredients.
Flattop versatility The unique flattop cooking surface and wide range of controllable cooking temperatures makes the Evo grill perfect for cooking any meal. Whether cooking for two or hosting a party of twenty, Evo is center stage helping you create memorable experiences with family and friends. By cooking foods directly on the cook surface, you can sear, sauté, grill, toast and stir-fry. Indirectly, you can use pots or pans to boil, braise, poach or steam.
Tools We Recommend Our favorite gadgets to accessorize the Evo grill. Grill Tongs Grill tongs feel like a natural extension of your hands allowing you to grab, lift and turn food without piercing it. Because they have long handles, they keep your hands far from the heat. Squeeze Bottles Don’t drag your large cooking oil bottle to the grill, you’ll get better control from a squeeze bottle. These are inexpensive and available online or at a restaurant supply store.
High Smoke Point Oils Cooking oils with a high smoke point (meaning it will not smoke and break down until it reaches a high temperature), are ideal for seasoning your Evo grill cooksurface. Oils that have high smoke points (400°F and higher) include avocado oil, corn oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil and vegetable oil. It’s fine to use olive oil in your recipes and to cook with, but don’t season the cooksurface with olive oil.
Caring for the Cooktop “Seasoning” your Evo grill is cooking oil heated onto the Evo cooktop, not a chemical non-stick coating. “Seasoning” creates the natural, easy-release properties. Here are some tips on how to create, maintain and even repair the cooktop “seasoning.” T he Evo cooktop is pre-seasoned before shipping and ready for use.
