GRILL COOKING

The temperature readout on the thermometer can be affected by the following
factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the lid
being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.
MAIN LEVEL COOKING
•
For direct cooking on the main level cooking grid, place food on the cooking grid,
and then adjust the burner to the temperature required. Food is cooked directly
over the heat source. The burner heats up the flavor activator under the cooking
grid, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking
fall onto the hot flavor activator below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the
food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.
Use the direct cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook:
steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and more. These foods should be turned once
halfway through the grilling time. To sear meats, place them over direct high heat
for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Hamburgers,
steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing.
After searing, finish cooking the food at a lower temperature to immerse more
barbecue flavor.
Controlling flare-ups are part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique
flavor of barbequed food; however, excessive flare-ups can also overcook your
food and create a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups
may result from large amounts of fat on the food being cooked or the build-up of
grease in the grill. If excessive flare-ups occur, do not pour water on the flames.
This can cause grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm.
Instead, turn the regulator knob to OFF until the grease burns out. To prevent or
minimize flare-ups, trim all excess fat or skin from meats before grilling, keep the
grill clean and the grease tray empty.
• UPPER LEVEL COOKING
The warming rack is a convenient way to cook food slowly and further away from
the heat source. It can also be used to warm items such as bread or rolls. When
opening the hood, be mindful for dripping fat from the upper warming rack that
could drip onto the back of the grill. Always check that your upper warming rack is
properly fitted before use.
PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas grill, perform
a leak test on the connection between the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk
of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test should be performed a
