Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. For food safety tips visit: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Barbecue_Food_Safety/
2. Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads
or cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.
3. Use the side burner of this appliance like a normal kitchen range for boiling, sautéing or
frying.
4. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.
5. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on
very high temperatures.
6. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or
place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
7. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
8. When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to
different internal temperatures in the same time frame.
9. When in-direct cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack
inside a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit burners.
10. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove
cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with
water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over
the loaded pan.
11. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.
Follow the wood manufacturer’s instructions.
12. Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your
experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
