Cooking Guide and F ood T emperature Chart

Following are suggested grilling times for the Griddler
in the closed position. 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
before grilling.
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.
