LYNX DOWNTOWN ELECTRIC GRILL CARE & USE MANUAL
Pre-heat the grill to 700ºF (370°C) for searing steaks. For
quicker heat-up time you can close the lid until the grill
reaches the cooking temperature. Once reached, you are
ready to grill with the lid open.
• The steak will stick to the grates initially, once it
‘releases’, rotate the steaks 90 degrees.
• Once moisture appears on the surface it is ready to
be fl ipped.
• Depending on your personal preference, seasoning
may be applied to your steaks before, during, or when
grilling is completed.
In windy conditions shelter the grill from the prevailing
breeze.
Avoid cooking with the lid down, it captures moisture
and slows down the cooking process.
When cooking boneless chicken breasts consider
butterfl ying the meat. This allows the center to cook
quicker and retain the juiciness of the meat.
Since the temperature can be held at a steady level the
grill is good for slow cooking. Baby back ribs can be slow
cooked with the lid down for several hours. Once the meat
is ready to fall off the bones, increase the temperature to
500ºF (260°C) to fi nish off the ribs and give them a nice
color. Apply sauces at this time.
You can cook sliced potatoes, grill mushrooms or peppers
on the grill. In some cases, you may want to fi rst cook
these items with the lid down and then lift the lid and raise
the temperature to ‘fi nish them off’.
Bacon is very nice on this grill as it lays across the grates
and is suspended above the surface, keeping it out of its
own grease. When cooking bacon, keep a close eye on the
drip tray levels.
A grill stone works well for cleaning the grates. Rubbing
it back and forth will cause the stone to take on the
contour of the grates. After several uses, the grill stone
will accumulate grease and become smooth - simply put it
under water and the abrasiveness will return.
The actual cooking styles that you select will depend
on your preferences and the results that you obtain
through simple experimentation. You will fi nd that the fi lm
heater technology used in the Lynx Downtown Electric
Grill makes it much more versatile than typical electric
grills and enables you to produce a tastier meal. Since
the temperature display indicates the actual uniform
temperature of the grilling surface, it is possible to quickly
sear the outside of a food product to seal in its juices,
reduce the grilling temperature, then cook to your desired
level of ‘doneness’.
Some foods are easier to grill with the lid open, while
others should be cooked with the lid closed. Don’t leave
the grill unattended while cooking with the lid open in
case of a fl are-up.
Normally, food should be conditioned at room temperature
for several hours before grilling. Taking a food product
directly from the refrigerator to the grill may not produce
your desired results.
