outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.
The following suggestions are good rules to fotlow and wil! increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
• Be sure to follow directions on page 18 for using the grill
• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations
in meats. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings
work best.
• For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4inch will grill better
than thinner cuts.
• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
• For the attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one
side of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the top surface,
before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food
causes loss of juices.
• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive
amounts wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply
sauces during the last !5 to 20 minutes of cooking time untess recipe specifies
otherwise. Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade, (for example, barbecue
sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating.
(See p. 18.)
• There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize tess expensive cuts of
meat for cooking on the grill
• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush
with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.
• Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as
these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
• To help retain meat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.
Be sure the grilt is cool and controls are Off.
Grill Grates
These are made from cast a_uminum and are coated with the Exca_ibur_ nonstick finish.
• After the grill grates have cooled, wipe off grates with a paper towel Wash cool
grates (DO NOT IMMERSE HOT GRILL GRATES IN WATER) with soap or
detergent in hot water in the sink or wash them in the dishwasher. Be sure to remove
all food residue before cooking on the grill grates again.
• Remove stubborn spots with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, use only
those cleaning products which state they are recommended for use when cleaning
nonstiek surfaces.
• If grates are washed in the dishwasher, season with oil prior to grilling. (See p. 18.)
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended
to clean outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the
grates. Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grates.
