General Grill Operation and Cooking Procedures
Searing
Even for an experienced chef, infrared cooking can, at rst, present a bit of a challenge. By following
these simple tips, you will soon be producing juicier, more avorful foods than you have ever
experienced before. As a general rule, foods will cook in less time than they would take on an
ordinary grill. By turning food frequently (approximately every 2 minutes), excessive charring is
simply avoided.
A sear burner works by producing intense heat which quickly sears meats. Searing locks in avor
and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced
as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, avorful outside with a
tender, juicy inside. Just the result you want with most grilled foods.
How to grill with sear burner
Properly pre-heat the grill by following the lighting instructions on page 37. Place food on grill grids
and turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until food is cooked to desired taste. Do not let food cook more
than 2 1/2 minutes without turning. Perfect cross sear marks can be made by rotating food 90° at
each turn.
Note
It is recommended to turn food being grilled on a sear burner every two minutes during the
cooking period. Never allow food to cook more than 2 1/2 minutes without turning.
