USINGTHE SEAR STATION
TM
Your Weber ¢ gas barbecue includes a sear burner for searing meats such as steak,
poultry parts, fish, and chops).
Searing is a direct grilling technique which browns the surface of the food at a high
temperature. By searing or browning both sides of the meat you will create a more
desirable flavor by caramelizing the food surface. Searing will also enhance appearance
of the meat with sear marks from the cooking grates. This along with the contrast of
textures and flavors can make food more interesting to the palate
The Sear Station
TM
burner has an on or off control setting that works with the two
adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear
meats while using other cooking areas for grilling with moderate heat.
TO USE THE SEAR STATION
TM
Before searing you should turn all of the main burners on HI for 15 minutes to preheat
the grill. Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow for maximum heat and to avoid
flare ups.
Once the grill is preheated, turn the outer burners off or down to low. Leave the center
two burners on HI and ignite the Sear Station Burner (See Sear Station
TM
lighting
Instructions).
Place the meat directly over the Sear Station
TM.
You will Sear each side anywhere from
1 to 4 minutes, depending on the type of meat and thickness. 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 you can finish grilling by moving the meat to a more
moderate heat over the outside burners to achieve the desired doneness.
As you gain experience in using your Sear Station
TM,
we encourage you to experiment
with different searing times to find results that work best for your taste.
