Using Your Searing Side Burner
Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the
meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer
surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as
grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a
crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
1. Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.
2. Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is
trimmed
away prior to grilling.
3. Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to sea
4. Use the sear burner to sear meat 1 to 2 minutes on each side,
then move the meat to the main grill cooking surface to finish
grilling to he desired doneness.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the sear side burner lid be
raised when the burner is in use to eliminate the possibility of
increased lid and handle temperatures.
1. To close the searing side burner lid, first lift up the lid to release
the lock then lower it to the closed position.
