COOKING TIPS

Cook Food To Proper Temperatures
Cooking food safely requires that you raise the internal temperature of the meat high enough and for a long enough period of
time to kill any food-borne bacteria that may cause illnesses.
Color is not the best indicator that food is safe to eat. Use a high-quality probe thermometer to be sure your food is properly
cooked. Place the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the food but at least 1/2 inch deep.
Read the temperature after about 10 seconds. Follow the temperature guidelines for the type of food you're cooking.
The following guidelines are from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

Preheating
Before cooking on a infrared grill, allow the grill to preheat on HI for
5 minutes with the lid open.
Preheating uses very little fuel, provides better flavor, and
provides more consistent cooking times.
