Following are suggested grilling times for the Griddler
Times are approximate and will vary with temperature of items being grilled. Only boneless poultry, meat and
seafood should be grilled – plates will maintain contact with bones, but will lose contact with meat as it cooks
and it will appear "steamed." Preheat Griddler
Marinades can be used, but draining is suggested before placing on the hot Griddler. An instant-read
thermometer or a probe-type thermometer is a handy tool for checking the internal temperature of foods
grilled.
