Tips for Easy Grilling
•
ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL
5 MINUTES BEFORE USING.
•
Read the Grill Use & Care Guide
before starting to grill.
•
Grill cooking is so easy because
you can brown meats, cook onions,
grill vegetables, “stir-fry” dishes,
steam fish and toast sandwiches
with little attention from the cook.
•
Use the grill to “prep and cook”
foods for traditional range-top
recipes: brown ground beef for
spaghetti sauce or stir-fry beef strips
for a Chinese dish. Since the grill
cooks top and bottom at the same
time, there’s no need to stir while
cooking.
•
Cook “guilt-free” French fries
without the extra oil or make perfect
French toast that doesn’t need to
be turned during cooking.
•
Use vegetable cooking spray for
convenient, stick-free grilling. Or if
you prefer, brush grill surfaces with
vegetable oil before preheating.
•
Use plastic utensils on the nonstick
grill surfaces. Do not use metal
utensils as they will damage the
nonstick surface.
•
Plan ahead for quick meals by
freezing boneless chicken breasts
and burger patties for future meals.
Place individual servings on a bak-
ing sheet and freeze. When frozen,
place in plastic bags. To grill, see
the “Grilling Chart” on page 6.
•
Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down.
Wipe grill surfaces with damp paper
towel or dish cloth. Grids are dish-
washer safe.
