Grilling Guidelines

• Grilling Times: Recipe cooking times are estimates. Cooking time will vary based on temperature of Grill, surrounding air, and food itself. Watch food carefully while grilling and adjust cooking time as necessary.
• Marinating Tips: Never marinate foods in metal containers for extended lengths of time (2 or more hours). Acids in foods can react with metal, causing an unpleasant taste. Instead, use glass, ceramic, or plastic bag containers for marinating.
• Meat Safety Tip: To reduce risk of spoiling, store meat in refrigerator until you are ready to cook. Never thaw or marinate meat at room temperature, especially in warm climates.
• Food Safety Tip: Never use leftover marinade as a finishing sauce on cooked foods. Leftover marinade must first be boiled for one to two minutes to kill any bacteria from raw food that was marinated.
• Nonstick Grilling Tip: Without use of oil, certain foods will stick slightly to nonstick surfaces. This is easily prevented. Before turning on your Grill, brush or spray Grill Plate lightly with oil or nonstick cooking spray. (Never add oil or spray to a heated plate—this is dangerous.)
• Always read all safety information.

Grilling Tips

• Cover Grill when preheating or grilling unless recipe suggests otherwise.
• Please remember that your Grill Plate is coated with a nonstick surface and that plastic utensils should always be used.
• If grilling vegetables, fish, or lean meat, spray grilling surface with a cooking spray. If grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if food has been marinated, there is no need to treat Plate.
• For best results, preheat Grill with Cover closed for 5 to 10 minutes before grilling.
• Skewers are available in most large supermarkets. If using disposable, wooden-type skewers, soak skewers in water at least 10 minutes before threading on food. This prevents skewer from scorching and makes a more attractive presentation.
• If using a marinade with oil, place Grill near an exhaust hood. Oil or fat will produce some smoke.
•  Marinade or sauces may cook on Grill Plate; use spatula to trim before slicing or cutting.
