During Grilling
■ Turn foods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned
several times.
■ Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface.
■ Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness. This
allows juices to escape.
■ It may be necessary to lower the heat setting for foods that
cook a long time or are marinated or basted in a sugary
sauce.
■ If using a high flame, add barbecue sauce only during the last
10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
■ The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut
of meat (size, shape and thickness), heat setting selected,
and length of time on the grill.
■ Cooking time will be longer with an open grill cover.
Cooking Methods
For optimal use of the SureSear™ system, the following cooking
methods are recommended.
Direct Heat
Cooking by direct heat means the food is placed on grill grates
directly above lighted burners. Hood position can be up or down.
If hood is in the up position, total cooking times may be longer.
Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural
juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of
time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a
flavorful grilled coating.
Indirect Heat
For best results, do not select the indirect heat cooking method
when it is windy.
Cooking by indirect heat means the food is placed on the grill
grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted
burner(s) on either side to cook the food.
If possible, turn on 2 burners. Cook with the hood down. This will
shorten the cooking time.
Indirect Cooking
Place food only on the grill grate over the OFF burners.
