Grilling Guide
The following times are to be used as a guideline only. Preheat the Grill for eight minutes.
Cooking times will vary due to the cut or thickness of the meat being cooked. To be sure
that the food is done, use a meat thermometer. If the food is not quite done, continue to

Grilling Hints and Tips
• Use tender cuts of meat for grilling.
• Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderize them before grilling.
• To avoid drying out meat and fish, turn only once and do not pierce.
• To turn meat and fish, use a large flat plastic or wooden spatula to
support the food.
• Place meat or chicken to be roasted in a shallow baking pan. Using
oven mitts carefully place pan on preheated grill, taking care not to
scratch the non-stick surface. Close Cover on the Grill Plate.
NOTE: Just resting a baking container on top of the non-stick sur-
face will not damage it. Do not use saucepans or plates.
• Do not cut food on non-stick surface.
• Use only heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils on non-stick sur-
faces.
• Adjust heat setting gradually and only as necessary. Cooking foods at
a high temperature can cause them to dry out.
• When grilling fish or chicken breast fillets, tuck extremely thin parts
under to prevent over cooking.
