Please note:
To be sure your food is fully cooked, the USDA recommends the following
guidelines. Use a kitchen timer. Using a meat thermometer, test for doneness by
inserting the thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and make sure the
thermometer is not touching the bone or grill plates.
SUGGESTED GRILLING CHART FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the
center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food
needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.
