GRIDDLE COOKING GUIDE
Do not leave the cooktop unattended during
"preheat" (knobs turned to "HI") or anytime the
knobs are turned to "HI" with food on the griil or
griddle. Most foods will be cooked on the griddle
on the HI setting. Some foods need to be cooked
at lower settings.
Preheat the griddle 5 minutes, unless otherwise
indicated in the guide below.
Add oil or butter at end of the preheat time. Additional
oil or butter may be needed during the cooking time.
Rearrange or
turn the foods over as needed to assure
even cooking.
. Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or
rough or sharp edges which may damage the non-
stick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the
griddle. Use only heat-resistant dishes when foods in
containers are to be warmed on the griddle.
. The griddle settings may need to be adjusted lower
if the ~tiddle is used for an extended time.
. Suggested cooking times should be used only
as a guide since variables in food may change the
cooking times.
