GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the Lid frequently.
• Do not overfill grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary adjust time.
• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
Important: Use only silicone, plastic and wooden utensils when cooking on the grill.
Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with the
high temperature.
