Tips for roasting
Except when roasting with water in the roasting pan, the
juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for
a tasty sauce or gravy. Place a cooking pan directly over
the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several
spoonfuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add sufficient
chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency.
Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and
cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15
minutes which allows the juices to settle. This will make
carving easier and ensure a tender juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES
From casseroles and cornbread to delicious deserts like
fondue fruit skewers or crumb cake, baking on the grill is
as easy as baking in the kitchen.
Preparing to Bake
To bake in your new grill you'll need a baking dish or
cast-iron cooking pan, and a pair of insulated cooking
mitts. If the cooking pan is cast-iron be sure to season
the pan before use.
Preheat your grill 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to achieve
the baking temperature desired. Baking uses the
Oven Temperature
Slow 300 ° - 340 ° F
Moderate 355 ° - 390 ° F
High 410 ° - 480 ° F
indirect cooking method. Therefore, your cooking pan
should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with
the burner lit on the opposite side.
Tips for Baking
Prepare your favorite recipe as you would in the kitchen.
Foods cooked in the grill for long periods of time should
always be covered in aluminum foil to retain moisture.
You will need to stir the food several times as it bakes,
and add additional liquid if required.
Watch the temperature, and adjust to cook according to
your recipe directions.
