Planning Your Cook - DCS BH1-48RI-N User Manual

Before using the grill, plan what you want to cook and how you want to cook it.
The grill design allows you to tailor your cook with different cooking methods, areas and
grate types. For optimal results, take advantage of the entire grill to move food between
high and low heat zones at different stages of the cook.

PLANNING YOUR COOK

Direct grilling
Food is cooked on grates
directly over lit burners.
Use this method for food that
takes less than 20 minutes to
cook or for searing larger items
before indirect cooking or
further grilling at a lower heat
setting.
Indirect cooking
Food is cooked on grates
beside the heat source, with
hood closed to maintain heat.
Use for food that takes longer
than 20 minutes to cook such
as thicker pieces of meat.
Sear burner
Delivers intense, even heat that
builds flavor and texture. Use
only with the sear burner grate
to create perfect sear lines and
surface browning.
Sear meat at a high heat, then
move to a lower heat zone
before resting to achieve
required doneness. Switch
order for reverse-sear method.
See 'Using the sear burner.'
