Low And Slow Cooking (Indirect Cooking) - Weber Genesis II E-310 User Manual

Secondary cuts of meat like ribs, shoulder, shanks and brisket are tougher and can be fattier than other
cuts of meat you would normally roast. These tougher cuts will beneit from being cooked 'low and slow'
– that is, cooked using a very low heat (about 110°C to 130°C) for many hours. This is the method used
for traditional American barbecue dishes like pulled pork, beef brisket and pork spare ribs. Although the
cooking process takes much longer and requires some attention, the results are well worth the effort.
Your meat will be incredibly tender, while staying juicy and retaining a lot of natural lavour.
Preheating for low and slow:
Whenever you use your Genesis® II for low and
slow cooking, it is important that you preheat the
barbecue irst, with the lid closed. The barbecue
should be at the optimum cooking temperature
(about 110°C to 130°C) when you put your food
in to achieve the best results. To preheat your
Genesis II for low and slow cooking:
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off position and check with the supplied tank scale
that there is suficient gas in your bottle (for LP
models).
2. Open the lid.
3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
4. Light the left and right burners according to the
instructions in the owner's guide.
5. Turn the left and right burners to LOW and close
the lid. Preheat the barbecue with the centre
burner OFF and the left and right burners on LOW
for 10 minutes.
Cooking low and slow:
1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue
is ready to cook. Leave the centre burner OFF and
leave the left and right burners on LOW.
2. Open the lid and place your food directly on the
grill above the centre burner.
3. Close the lid and cook for the estimated cooking
time.
When cooking at the low temperatures required
for low and slow cooking, it is important to
regularly monitor the cooking temperature
inside the barbecue using the lid thermometer. If
required, make small adjustments to the burner
settings to achieve the desired temperature of
approximately 110°C to 130°C.

Note: Your Genesis II will perform at its best when
you let natural convection do its work under the
lid. Try to resist the temptation to open the lid
unnecessarily. As your food will cook using indirect
heat cooking low and slow, there is no need to turn
the food during the cooking time.
