Please note:
To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends
the following guidelines. Using a meat thermometer, test for doneness by
inserting the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and
make sure the thermometer is not touching the bone or grill plates.
GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a
full grill of food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork
inserted into the center of the food to test for doneness (Be careful not to
touch the grill plate). If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to
avoid overcooking the food.
Important: Refer to illustration A4 on page 4 for setting indications.
