Guide to using the Sizzle Burner

Sizzling Steak and Ribs

Turn the Sizzle Burner on HI and preheat for 10 to 15 minutes
with the Lid closed. Then place the meat on the Cooking Grid
and sizzle each side for approximately 2 minutes. Reduce the
Sizzle Burner to LOW or move meat to the primary grilling area
and finish cooking. Grilling times will vary according to meat
thickness.

Sizzling Hamburgers and Sausages

Turn the Sizzle Burner on HI and preheat for 10 to 15 minutes
with the Lid closed. Then place the meat on the Cooking Grid
and sizzle each side for approximately 2 minutes. Reduce the
Sizzle Burner to LOW or move food to the primary grilling area
and finish cooking. Grilling times will vary according to meat
thickness.

Hamburgers  and  sausages  are  fatty  so  you  should  expect
some  flare-ups  when  cooking  these  foods.  To  minimize
flare-ups  follow  the  instructions  on  page  A-1.  You  may  also
consider grilling these and other fatty foods using the primary
grill  area  and  the  indirect  cooking  method.

Important notes about using the Sizzle Burner

NOTE:  The  Sizzle  Burner  knob  has  three  positions:
SIZZLE(S) - HIGH(H)  - LOW(L). The SIZZLE  position is for
sizzle only. The  High and Low position is the  same as Main
Burner.

Whether  you  are  a  seasoned  chef  or  a  newcomer  to  gas
grilling, sizzle cooking adds another dynamic to your outdoor
cooking  experience.  With  its  increased  power  the  Sizzle
Burner allows you to transform your center cooking zone into
a higher temperature cooking experience. This will now give
you  the  opportunity  to  decrease  the  cooking  time  while
utilizing  the  sizzle  burner  as  its  increased  BTU’s  insure  you
can  cook  at  almost  any  temperature.

While utilizing the burner in Sizzle position you will experience
shorter cooking times as well as higher temperatures.

Once lit, leave the Sizzle Burner on sizzle and sizzle both
sides of meat using the guidelines below.

Once  seared,  adjust  the  Sizzle  Burner  to  Low  and  con-
tinue cooking until desired doneness. You can also move
the  seared  meat  to  the  primary  grilling  area  to  finish
cooking.  This  method  allows  you  to  sizzle  and  prepare
larger  amounts  of  meat.

NEVER attempt to douse a flare-up with water which can
damage the Burner. To control flare-ups:

•

Trim excess fat from meats and poultry.

Preheat the Burner properly.

Clean the Burner regularly to remove food and grease
build-up. See Burner Tube cleaning instructions in
this manual.

Reposition your food often and consider moving the
seared meat to the primary grilling area to finish
cooking.
