GRILLING GUIDE

Closed grilling is a fast and efficient way to cook. This method will work only for certain food
items, that are thick enough to come into contact with both grill plates.

As the thickness of meat and other ingredients vary so will some of these cooking times.

the meat contacting the cooking plates.
