Grilling Tips and Hints

Safe Grill Operation
• NEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually
observing the food will help in maintaining an even
temperature, conserve flame, improve the food's flavor
and lessen flare-ups.
• To open the grill lid, slowly lift the handle to avoid burning
in case of a grease fire flare-up.
• DO NOT expose any part of your body directly above the
cooking area.
Food Preparation Hints
Your grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow
these instructions:
• Trim excess fat from meat and poultry. Slash any remaining
fat to stop curling, but take care not to cut the meat.
• Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed prior to cooking.
• Frozen fish and vegetables will cook without thawing.
• Salt food after cooking to help prevent drying out the food.
• Brush naturally lean meats with cooking oil or margarine.
• Cook small pieces of tender foods in foil or on special
delicate-food cooking grate (see the section titled

"Cooking Methods").

• Apply barbecue, tomato or sugar-based sauces no sooner
than the last 10 m inutes of cooking.
• Turn food with tongs or a spatula; piercing food
(especially meat), tends to dry it out.
Cooking Methods
• The heat source is directly below the food.
• Use for browning meat or cooking hot dogs and
hamburgers, but check food frequently.
• Use for skillet and stir-fry cooking, but limit the amount of
oil and heat to be used.
• Cook roasts, turkey or duck on low heat. Place meat with
water in a foil pan with a corrugated bottom. Replenish
water as needed.
