The Grill Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center 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 cooks the food through without burning the outside.

The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is capable of being turned down to very low heat levels.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center Grill rack The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Drip the brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles.

Frequency of cleaning will depend on the climate and location and how often you use the cooking center.
Burner cleaning Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Be sure burner ports are clear and free from debris. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Never enlarge the burner ports. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
