Excessive
Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These
drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a
grille flare-
second or two. This is normal when cooking on
ups and
a barbecue. You may find it handy to have a
flaming
spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray the
flare-up.
If the flame becomes excessive, remove the
food from the grille. Lower the heat setting.
Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.
Grille rack
The two-piece rack is reversible. Place the side
with the two grooved tabs toward the back of the
cooktop. The grille rack is made of cast iron and
has a black porcelain finish.
One side of the grille (side A) is ridged and
should be used for foods where you want the fat
to run off, such as steak or hamburger patties.
The ridges are sloped so the fat runs toward the
front of the grille and can easily run down to the
cooler area of the drip tray and away from the
intense heat of the burner.
The other side of the grille (side B) was
designed for foods that need more support
while cooking, such as fish.
Food cooked on this grille achieves the same
flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grille. The
intense radiant heat from the ceramic
briquettes caramelizes the fats and juices that
are brought to the surface of the food, giving it
the barbecued flavor.
This gas grille may cook slightly faster than you
are used to.
To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim the
fat from around the edges of steaks and chops,
use hamburger that is lean, remove the fat
from poultry, etc.
When turning any kind of meat or poultry, the
melting fat will drop onto the briquettes and it
may create a flare-up. If this happens, use a
long-handled spatula to move the food to
another area.
