Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water

before and after handling raw meat and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat

foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a

thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at
1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC [phone], 10:00 am­4:00 pm EST.

Grease Tray

• Never use drippings directly from the grease tray to make
gravy. Use the included foil tray liner to catch drippings, then
reheat the drippings to kill bacteria. Replacement foil tray liners
and other accessories can be found at www.charbroil.com.

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very

fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat
thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal
temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of
doneness.

• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your

appliance.

• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear

and flesh should not be pink.

• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be

cooked to 160° F.

• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later.

Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food

temperatures.

Storing Your Appliance

• Store in dry location.

• When LP cylinder is connected to appliance, store outdoors in
a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
