WHAT IS SEARING?

Searing is a direct grilling technique used on meats, such as steak, poultry parts, fish,
and chops. Searing browns the surface of the food at a high temperature. By searing
or browning both sides of the meat, you caramelize the food surface, creating a more
desirable flavour. Searing will also enhance appearance of the meat with sear marks
from the cooking grates. The resulting contrast of textures and flavours can make food
more interesting to the palate.
As you gain experience in using your Sear Station
with different searing times to find results that work best for your taste.
SEAR STATION BURNER OPERATION
®
The Sear Station burner has OFF, START/HI, and LOW control settings that work with
®
the left and center burners. With the sear and adjacent burners, you can effectively sear
meats while using the right burner cooking area for grilling with moderate heat.
Before searing food, you should turn all of the main burners on HI for ten to fifteen
minutes to preheat the grill. Once the grill is preheated, turn the right burner to OFF or
LOW. Leave the left and centre burners on HI and ignite the Sear Station
Place the meat directly over the Sear Station
one to four minutes, depending on the type and thickness of the meat. You may turn the
food a quarter turn to make crossing sear marks (1) before you sear the other side in
the same manner.
Once you are done searing it, you can finish grilling the meat by moving it to a more
moderate heat over the right burner to achieve the desired doneness. Always grill with
the lid closed to allow for maximum heat and to avoid flare-ups.
