The Grill Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops 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 with the hood in the open position. 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 and is usually done with the hood closed.
Grilling guide This is a suggested guide only. There are many variables that will affect cooking performance. These include wind, temperature, humidity and cut of meat. Remember to pre-heat the grill with all the main burners on high for 10–15 minutes with the hood closed for best cooking performance.
