Grilling Guidelines
Grilling Tips
• Grilling Times: Recipe cooking times are estimates. Cooking time
will vary based on the temperature of the grid, the surrounding air,
and the food itself. Watch food carefully while grilling and adjust
the cooking time as necessary.
• Marinating Tips: Never marinate foods in metal containers for
extended lengths of time (2 or more hours). The 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 the risk of spoiling, store meat in the
refrigerator until you’re 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. The leftover marinade must first be boiled for
one to two minutes to kill any bacteria from the raw food that was
marinated.
• Nonstick Grilling Tip: Without the use of oil, certain foods will
stick slightly to nonstick surfaces. This is easily prevented. Before
turning on your grill, brush or spray the grill plates lightly with oil or
nonstick cooking spray. (Never add oil or spray to a heated plate—
this is dangerous.)
• Always read all safety information.
• 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 the grilling surface
with a cooking spray. If grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if
the food has
been marinated, there is no need to treat the plate.
• For best results, preheat the grill with cover closed for 5 to
10 minutes before grilling.
• Skewers are available in most large supermarkets. If using the
disposable, wooden-type skewers, soak the skewers in water at
least 10 minutes before threading on food. This prevents the 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.
