MAIN BURNER USE
When searing foods, preheating is recommended by operating all main burners in the
HI
position with the lid
closed for approximately 6-10 minutes. 9-10 minutes for colder climates, 6-8 for milder/warmer climates.
Cooking with the lid closed will ensure a more even temperature that will reduce cooking time and cook more
evenly.
Food that has a cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, may be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit
opposite the food placement).
When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before cooking to
prevent sticking.
Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content may create flare-ups. Either trim some fat or reduce temperatures
to prevent this. Should a flare up occur, move the food away from the flames, reduce heat and leave the lid open.
