TIPS FOR OUTDOOR GRILLING
Befor
e Grilling
 Thaw food items before grilling.
 Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The
hood mu
st be closed during preheating, There is no need
to use the back rotisserie burner for preheating. Preheating
provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the
juices.
 Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat
or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce
flare-ups.
 Lightly oil the grill grates or the food when cooking low-fat
cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger
patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.
 Using too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food.
 Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to reduce
flare-ups.
 Make vertical cuts at 2" (5 cm) intervals around the fat
edge of meat to avoid curling.
 Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.
During Grilling
 Turn f
oods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned
several times.
 Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface.
 Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to t
est doneness.
This allows juices to escape.
 It may be ne
cessary to lower the heat setting for foods
that cook a long time or
are marinated or basted in a
sugary
sauce.
 It using a hi
gh flame, add barbecue sauce only during the
last 10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
 The degree at donen
ess is influenced by the type of meat,
cut of me
at (size, shape and thickness), heat setting
selected, and length of time on the grill.
 Cooking time will be longer with an open grill cover.
Cooking Methods
For optimal use of the Sure
Sear™ system, the following cooking
methods are recomm
ended.
Direct Heat
Cooking by dir
ect heat means the food is placed on grill grates
directly above ligh
ted burners. Hood position can be up or down.
If hood is in the
up position, total cooking times may be longer.
Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a pr
ocess that seals natural
juices in food
by cooking with intense heat for a short period of
time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a
flavorful grilled coating.
Indirect Heat
For best result
s, do not select the indirect heat cooking method
when it is windy.
Cooking by indirect heat means the food is placed on the grill
grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted
burner(s) on either side to cook the food.
Turn on 1 burner. Cook with the hood down. This will shorten the
cooking time.
Indirect Cooking
Place food only on the grill grate over the OFF burners.
