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.
GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• For best results, do not overload the grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary adjust time.
• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
Important: Use only nylon, heatproof plastic and wooden utensils when cooking on the
grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with the
high temperature.
Please note:
To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the following
guidelines. Use a kitchen timer. 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.
