done. Use cooking time as a guide or until
fish is opaque but still moist.

Guide to Grilling Vegetables and Fruit

I

Prepare your fruit or vegetables and brush with butter

or basting sauce if desired. To cook indirectly, the
food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side and the
grill Lid down. Or center your food on the Secondary
Cooking Rack and light the outer grill Burners. Either
way, indirect cooking must be done with the Lid

down.

In some instances, you may want to grill vegetables
and fruit directly over the heat, using the supplied
Cooking Grids. Foods that work best with direct heat

are relatively soft and require a short cooking time:

mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes and skewered fruit
such as apricots, peaches, pineapple, strawberries
and kiwis. Remember the Grill Lid must remain up

when cooking directly.

For very firm vegetables—particularly potatoes and
yams, we recommend that you partially boil until
almost cooked, before placing them on the grill.

Cooking times using the indirect method with the lid
down will be similar to those for your kitchen oven.
However, there are many factors such as outside
temperature, wind conditions and location of grill that
affect your grill performance so we suggest you watch
the grill thermometer and adjust the heat accordingly.

Cooking times for foods prepared with the direct

method will be much shorter mainly because of the

direct heat source and softness of the food. Timing will
be comparable to normal pan frying or grilling.
