COOKING
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the cooking grates are at the
desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. Preheat the grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until it
reaches the desired temperature before adding food. Close the lid during the preheat period.
SMOKING:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To smoke food on your Cuisinart Pellet Grill:
Step 1:
Set the grill to “SMOKE” or a low temperature like 225° F. Higher temperatures will produce less
smoke so try to keep it below 300° F.
Step 2:
Allow the grill to preheat and ensure sear shutter is closed.
Step 3:
When the grill temperature has stabilized, about 20 minutes, place the food to be smoked on one of
the two smoking racks.
Step 4:
Use a food probe to monitor the internal temperatures of your food to ensure doneness.
• Tip: Cold food absorbs smoke more easily than food at room temperature.
SEARING:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Cuisinart Pellet Grill is equipped with a direct sear function which allows you open an air path between
your food and the fire pot.
To operate:
Step 1:
Set the grill temperature to “HIGH” and slide the sear shutter to the right using tongs.
Step 2:
Allow the cooking grates to preheat before placing food on them to maximize grill marks.
FOOD PROBES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is one thermometer supplied with your Cuisinart Pellet Grill.
To use:
Step 1:
Insert the food probe plug into appropriate port on the Control Board.
Step 2:
The long sharp thermometer probe should be fully inserted into the thickest part of your food, ensure
the tip of the thermometer does not come out the other side. Be careful to avoid bones when inserting the
probe because if left near a bone, the temperature readings may become inaccurate. The temperature will be
displayed on the control board.
NOTE:
When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires
avoid direct contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run
the excess wire out the hole located on the left side of the main grill or the top of the main grill (near
the grill lid hinge). When not in use, disconnect from the meat probe connection port and place
aside to keep protected and clean.
