USDA Cooking Guidelines

A meat thermometer should always be used to gauge internal temperature. The thermometer should be inserted into the thickest portion of meat, away from bones or fatty areas.

The United States Department of Agriculture recommends that meat and poultry be cooked to the following internal temperatures to be sure any harmful bacteria has been killed. Ground turkey and chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F and ground beef, veal, lamb and pork be cooked

to an internal temperature of 160° F. Chicken and turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170° F for white meat and 180° F for dark meat. Goose and duck should be cooked to an internal temperature of 180° F. Fresh beef, veal and lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145° F. Fresh pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160° F. When re-heating

meat and poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F.

To Use as a Full Grill/Griddle (Open Position)

1.Place the 8-IN-1 Grill Station on a flat, level surface. Make sure there is ample available space to accommodate the full opened Grill Station.

2.Open the lid to 90º.

3.Install 2 reversible grill/griddle plates; choose cooking plates/surfaces to suit your cooking needs.

NOTE: Use the ribbed grill plate(s) to cook a combination of foods of varying thickness, for bone in chops thicker than 1”, larger cuts of meats or sausages, delicate fish or unevenly cut larger vegetables where grill marks are desired. Use the flat, non-stick griddle(s) surface to prepare pancakes, French toast, eggs, potatoes, fried rice, small delicate fish, or small chopped vegetables.

4.Grasp the handle and lift the upper cooking plate up (Figure 5) and open to create a full cooking surface. (See Figure 6.)

Press Grill or Griddle: Hints for Best Results

Grilling Meats/Poultry/Fish

•To ensure moist and delicious grilled meats, always allow meats to rest 10 to 20 minutes before cutting.

•Use cuts of meat thick enough to touch the top and base plate when the 8-IN-1 Grill Station is closed.

•Tougher cuts such as flank steak should be tenderized by marinating for few hours or overnight. Wine or vinegar will help to break down the connective tissue before grilling.

•Drain excess marinade and dry meat well before placing on the grill plate.

•Avoid using marinades that contain high sugar levels that can burn on the grill plate when cooked.

•To ensure a tender piece of grilled meat, do not salt meat before cooking.

•Do not overcook meat.

•To avoid tough and dry meats, never cut or pierce meats while cooking. Use scratch-proof tongs to add or remove meat from grill plates.

•Use griddle plates when cooking delicate pieces of fish. Use a heat-resistant fish spatula to remove fish from the hot griddle. DO NOT OVERCOOK!

Panini Maker: Pressed Sandwiches

425ºF, 5 to 7 minutes

1.Install 2 reversible panini/omelet plates; panini cookside up.

2.Following recipe directions, turn the temperature control dial to 400ºF or 425°F.

3.Prepare your sandwiches as the appliance heats. Panini can be prepared ahead of time, sealed with plastic wrap, and refrigerated; then grilled as needed.

4.Wearing oven mitts, carefully open the lid. Before first use, if desired, lightly oil the plates.

IMPORTANT: Do not use non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the cooking plates. Use vegetable or olive oil instead.

5.When the blue READY light illuminates, carefully center 1 or 2 sandwiches on the lower plate.

IMPORTANT: Do not overload the cooking plate.

6.Use the floating hinge when preparing Panini and other thick sandwiches. To set up the floating hinge, follow detailed instructions previously described in the section titled “To Use as a Contact Grill.”

(See Figures 7 and 8.)

7.Close the lid so that the upper plate lies evenly on the top of the food. Use the top handle to press down on the sandwiches while grilling.

8.Check cooked Panini after 5 minutes. Wearing oven mitts, remove pressed Panini from the cooking plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula.

WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of the panini plates.

9.If additional food is to be cooked, close the 8-IN-1 Grill Station to retain heat.

10.When all Panini are cooked, turn the temperature control dial to 250ºF. Remove the plug from the wall outlet.

WARNING! ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT WHEN COOKING IS FINISHED. OTHERWISE, THE 8-IN-1 GRILL STATION WILL CONTINUE TO HEAT UNTIL UNIT IS UNPLUGGED.

11.Allow 8-IN-1 Grill Station to cool completely before removing cooking plates or to clean the unit.

Panini Maker: Hints for Best Results

•It is customary to prepare panini using a hearty loaf of bread. However, panini made from store-bought sliced breads or rolls can be delicious and simple to prepare. Have fun and experiment with a variety of breads, tortillas, flatbreads, even pitas.

•For health-conscious cooks, the non-stick coating of the cooking plates assures crisp and delicious toasting without the use of oil or butter.

•While it is not necessary to butter or oil the outside of the bread, spreading a small amount of butter or olive oil is recommended to encourage even browning of the bread.

IMPORTANT: Do not use non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the cooking plates. Use vegetable or olive oil instead.

•Have all ingredients at hand before preparing panini.

•When using soft or liquid fillings, use thicker-sliced breads. Try removing the insides of soft rolls to create a cup in which filling can be added.

•Most fruits release juice when heated. Drain and pat fresh or canned fruit dry with a clean paper towel.

•Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under high temperatures.

•Dessert Paninis are delicious! A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes grilled panini crispier and adds flavor when using sweet fillings.

•Whole grain and sweet breads will grill faster than white breads and should be grilled for less time.

•After you have removed finished panini, close the upper grill plate to retain heat while assembling more sandwiches.

•To avoid food contamination, wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent paper towel and a dab of vegetable oil to wipe the grill plates clean after each use.

Omelets and Poached Eggs

Omelets 350ºF, 4 to 5 minutes Poached Eggs 300ºF, 3 minutes

HINT: Use the 8-IN-1 Grill Station to cook omelet ingredients, if desired. Making omelets is a great way to use leftovers.

1.Install 2 reversible panini/omelet plates; omelet cookside up.

2.Following recipe directions, turn the temperature control dial to 350ºF.

3.Omelet ingredients should be pre-cooked and cut into small pieces. Suitable fillings for the omelets include shredded cheese, small cooked, chopped vegetables such as thawed, frozen peas, blue onions, mushrooms, fresh or thawed and pressed spinach, drained chopped tomatoes, thinly sliced pieces of cooked bacon, sausage, meats or poultry.

CAUTION: Do not use any foods with bones or pits.

4.Place 2 fresh eggs in a small bowl. Whip well.

5.When the blue READY light illuminates, add 1/4 of the whipped eggs into each mold. Add filling ingredients to both molds. Top each mold with the remainder of the eggs.

WARNING: To avoid fillings from leaking into the reservoir, do not over-fill the omelet molds.

6.Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Check for doneness and if more time is needed, close the lid and cook for 15 second increments. Wearing oven mitts, remove omelets using a heat-proof rubber spatula.

7.Poached eggs are simple to prepare. Turn the temperature control dial to 300ºF.

8.When the blue READY light illuminates, add 3 tablespoons water to each mold, crack 1 egg and add to each mold. Close the lid and cook for 3 minutes.

9.Wearing oven mitts, remove eggs from the cooking plate(s) using a heat-proof rubber spatula.

WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of the omelet plates.

10.If additional eggs are going to be cooked, close the 8-IN-1 Grill Station to retain heat.

Waffle Maker, Bakes 4 Waffles

400ºF, 6 - 7 minutes

1.Install 2 waffle plates.

IMPORTANT! The waffle plates are marked “UPPER” and “ LOWER” on the backside of the plates. NOTE: To avoid waffle batter from spilling over, the “BOTTOM” plate has larger overflow channels.

2.Before baking the first waffles of the day, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil to both the upper and lower cooking plates. Spread with an absorbent kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil.

3.Following recipe directions, turn the temperature control dial to 400°F.

NOTE: When preparing waffles, it is necessary that the waffle plates are up to temperature. Be sure to add waffle batter after unit is preheated and the blue READY light has illuminated.

4.Pour 1/4 cup waffle batter onto the center of each of the 4 waffle molds on the lower cooking plate. If necessary, spread slightly to fill the entire area. Try not to overfill, batter will expand when cooked.

NOTE: It is not necessary to fill all 4 molds.

5.Close the top lid and allow the Waffle Maker to cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or according to recipe directions.

NOTE: Waffle recipes will vary in cook time and brownness; batters with more sugar will brown quicker. Note the perfect cook times for each batter recipe for future use.

6.Wipe the Grill Station base with a clean paper towel or cleaning cloth if necessary.

7.At the end of the cook time, lift the top lid gently; if it pulls, continue baking for 30 seconds and test again. If the waffles need to bake to a darker finish, close the lid and continue cooking until the desired color is achieved.

8.Wearing oven mitts, remove 1 to 4 baked waffles from the cooking plate(s) using a heat-proof rubber spatula.

WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of the waffle plates.

9.If additional waffles are to be baked, clean and oil waffle plates after removing finished waffles. Close the 8-IN-1 Grill Station to retain heat. Always wait until the blue READY light illuminates before baking more waffles.

10.When all waffles are finished cooking, turn the temperature control dial to 250ºF. Remove the plug from the wall outlet.

WARNING! ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT WHEN COOKING IS FINISHED. OTHERWISE, THE 8-IN-1 GRILL STATION WILL CONTINUE TO HEAT UNTIL UNIT IS UNPLUGGED.

11.Allow 8-IN-1 Grill Station to cool completely before removing the cooking plates or to clean the unit.

Waffle Maker: Hints for Best Results

•Most recipes can be easily halved or doubled.

•Do not open the Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking or the waffle will separate. Completely cook the waffle before removing.

•When a waffle is done, the upper lid should lift easily. Lift gently; if it pulls, continue cooking for 30 seconds and test again.

•When preparing waffle batter, do not over-mix or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear. Some lumps are ok.

•The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters.

•For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to the outer edge of the lower cooking plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing the lid.

•Cake-based waffles are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care when removing from the Waffle Maker. Wearing oven mitts, use a spatula to support waffles when removing from the Waffle Maker.

•To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a paper napkin or a wire cooling rack to absorb any condensation. To keep waffles hot, place in an ovenproof dish on an oven rack and warm at about 200-250°F (90-120°C). Waffles will keep for about 20 minutes before they begin to dry out.

•Cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped individually by returning to hot Waffle Maker. Place waffles on lower cooking plate so grooves match; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

•Baked waffles freeze well. Cool waffles completely on a wire rack. Store in a sealed freezer bag or in a covered container, separating waffles with wax paper.

•Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster oven, 300ºF oven or wide-mouth toaster until hot and crisp.

For lower sugar waffles and/or toppings:

•Use sugar substitutes.

•Use organic agave nectar.

•Use low-sugar preserves, marmalades or jellies.

•Use macerated dried fruits such as figs, dates, prunes.

•Use apple or mango sauce.

•Use sugar-free maple syrup.

For lower fat, lower cholesterol waffles:

•Use skim milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc.

•Adapt recipes by eliminating egg yolks.

•Always use liquid vegetable oils such as canola, corn or sunflower, instead of butter.

For higher fiber waffles:

•Substitute half of the recipe white flour with whole-wheat flour.

•Substitute one-quarter of the recipe white flour with wheat or oat bran.

•Use macerated high-fiber dried fruits such as figs, dates, baby prunes

Quesadilla Maker: Hints for Best Results

•IMPORTANT! The Quesadilla Maker cannot cook foods. Ingredients must be cooked. This Quesadilla Maker is used to melt cheese and warm ingredients.

•When preparing quesadillas, use fresh, 8-inch flour tortillas. Various flavored tortillas can be used for a variety of interesting tastes and a fun, colorful presentation.

•Suitable fillings for traditional quesadillas include shredded or sliced cheese, refried beans, thinly sliced pieces of cooked meats sausages, cooked ground or pulled meats and poultry, and/or pre cooked vegetables.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any foods with bones or pits.

•Do not over-stuff the quesadillas as the filling may leak into the reservoir. The filling should be spread evenly up to a 1/2 inch on the tortilla. Generally, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese will work well.

•Quesadillas should be slightly crisp but not overdone. Do not grill for more than 7 minutes.

•To reheat previously grilled quesadillas, match up the triangle shapes to those on the cooking plates. Reheat for 1 to 2 minutes.

•Use a pizza cutter or a sharp, serrated knife to slice the quesadilla for serving.
