Bottom Infrared Cooking Tips - BORETTI IBRIDO Operating Instructions Manual

Bottom infrared cooking tips

Even with an expert chef, infrared cooking can be quite a challenge. If you follow these simple suggestions,
you will soon be making juicier, more savory foods than you have ever experienced before. In general, foods
will cook in less time than they would take on an ordinary grill. If you rotate food regularly (about every 2
minutes), extreme charring is avoided.
Infrared grills work by producing concentrated heat which quickly sears the meat. Searing holds in fl avor and
juices while allowing the surface to soak in smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings
are vaporized by the infrared burner. The outcome is a crisp, savory exterior with a tender, moist interior -
just the outcome you want with most grilled foods.
How to grill with bottom infrared burner
• Place food on grill grids and turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until food is cooked to desired doneness.
Do not let food cook more than 2 1/2 minutes without turning.
• Perfect cross sear marks can be made by rotating food 90°
We recommend that you turn food being grilled on an infrared burner every two minutes during the cooking
period. Never allow food to cook more than 2 1/2 minutes without turning.
Food Item
Chicken Breast, boneless
Chicken Breast, bone-in
Hambuger, 1/2 thick
Steak, 1" thick
These are recommended times only. Due to variations in cuts of meat and personal taste, your cooking times
may vary. Use your discretion when using your infrared burner.
Controlling flare-ups
Never attempt to control a flare-up by dousing with water. Burner damage will result and void your warranty.
With proper care, fl are-ups should not present a problem with your grill. Minimize fl are-ups by:
• Properly pre-heating the grill
• Trimming excess fat from meat
• Cleaning grill regularly to avoid grease build-up
• Repositioning meat during cooking
If fl are-up occurs, move meat to a different portion of the grill until the fl are-up is under control.
