GRILL
: INFRARED
COOKING
INFRARED SEARING AND COOKING:
Gas Infrared Cooking is a new technology that employs a set of ceramic plates heated by gas
ame. When the ceramic plates are heated, food is cooked by radiant heat similar to charcoal
cooking. Most of the hot air is trapped and therefore greatly reduces food from drying out.
An advantage of infrared cooking is high heat intensity. Fuego’s infrared burner can generate
heat up to 1000 degrees, allowing searing to seal in the natural juices of various foods delivering
full aroma and avor.
While set on low, the infrared burner produces a constant cooking temperature of
approximately 400 degrees; appropriate for most cooking needs.
COOKING MEAT AND STEAKS:
1. Ignite burner and close lid.
2. Set burner on high for 10 minutes to heat cast iron grate.
3. Place food on the grill surface to sear for 1-2 minutes, or until food begins to lift
without sticking.
4. Repeat this process on each side of food.
5. Once food is seared, reduce heat to low, or to a lower setting to cook food to
desired temperature.
COOKING TIPS:
Unlike cooking with conventional gas burners, it may take some time and practice to familiarize
yourself with infrared cooking. Experiment with different types of food and cooking time
to attain the best that infrared cooking technology has to offer.
Flare-ups: Some food types may yield more are-ups than others. Reduce are-ups by:
a. Trimming excess fat or skin off of food.
b. Reducing cooking temperature.
c. Moving food around the grill surface.
d. Using a water spray bottle to control fare-ups. NEVER DOUSE a are-up with water.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
1. After cooking is done, turn burner onto the highest setting for 5 minutes to burn off any
excess food on the infrared surface.
CAUTION: ALWAYS ALLOW GRILL TO COOL SUFFICIENTLY BEFORE CLEANING. WATER
MUST NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BURNER SURFACE, WHILE HOT OR COLD.
2. Periodically remove safety screen and vacuum off remaining ash and particles from
infrared plates. Use vacuum hose extension with soft brush head to avoid damage to the
ceramic surfaces.
3. Clean around drawer with mild soap and water.
4. Always leave burners covered to protect from rain or water. Collection of water into
ceramic cells will cause burner to clog and malfunction.
